How do I know if a padel court manufacturer is reliable?

Check that it manufactures in its own factory, that its courts are FIP-approved, that it offers a written warranty and that it can show verifiable projects and references.

What is the advantage of buying from a direct manufacturer?

A direct manufacturer controls design, manufacturing, installation and maintenance, so there is a single point of responsibility, parts that fit and spare parts on hand.

What certification should a padel court have?

The essentials are approval from the International Padel Federation (FIP) and certified tempered safety glass, plus a documented warranty.

Does Padel Courts Master maintain courts from other manufacturers?

Yes. We maintain and install courts from any manufacturer: frame, tension and anchor checks, glass, silica sand top-ups and turf replacement.

How to choose a padel court manufacturer: 6 key criteria

Who makes your court matters as much as the court itself. Six criteria and a list of questions to separate a real padel court manufacturer from a reseller.

Who builds it matters as much as the court

Many suppliers sell padel courts; far fewer actually manufacture them. These six criteria help you tell the difference before you commit.

1. A direct manufacturer with its own factory

The first thing to establish is who really makes the court. A direct manufacturer controls every stage: design, cutting, welding, corrosion protection, coating and quality control. That means parts that fit, spare parts on hand and a single party responsible if anything goes wrong. When manufacturing is outsourced, that traceability gets lost.

At Padel Courts Master we design, manufacture, install and maintain with one team. You can see our processes on the factory page.

2. Industrial processes that guarantee consistency

Court quality should not depend on who was on shift that day. Ask how the court is made: CNC and laser cutting, robotic MIG welding, hot-dip galvanising with C5 protection and powder-coating ovens deliver a precision and corrosion resistance that manual work cannot match. If you can, ask to visit the factory or see a video of the process.

3. Certification and a written warranty

FIP approval from the International Padel Federation.
Certified tempered safety glass, 12 mm on our courts.
A documented warranty stating what it covers and what it does not. Ours is 5 years.

Be wary of verbal promises: if it is not in the contract, it does not exist.

4. A track record you can verify

Ask for concrete figures and references. In our case, more than 1,500 courts installed in 18 countries and the trust of major tours: Full Vision was the court chosen for Premier Padel 2024–25 and A1 Padel 2023, we installed 4 official courts at the World Padel Tour 2023 event in Santiago, Chile, and we were the official court of the Pala Tour Masters in 2022 and 2023. Look as well at club projects in different climates, such as those in France, Switzerland, Portugal and the United States.

5. Technical support and in-house installation

A good manufacturer does more than ship materials. It should give you the base and ground specifications for your contractor, organise delivery and install the court with its own crew, adjusting tensions and anchors. Installation is as decisive as manufacturing.

6. Real, responsive after-sales

Ask who will handle a problem, how quickly spare parts are available and whether maintenance is offered. Our after-sales service is managed from Spain, with an office in Barcelona and a warehouse in Alicante, and we maintain courts from any manufacturer: frame inspections, glass, sand top-ups and turf replacement.

Questions to ask any manufacturer

Is the frame made in your own factory or outsourced?
What corrosion protection and what type of coating do you apply?
Is the court FIP-approved? What exactly does the warranty cover?
Who installs the court and who handles after-sales?
Can I visit or contact clubs already playing on your courts?
