Building Your Oxford Padel Court

Bespoke Design & Planning

Our team conducts detailed topographic surveys assessing soil composition, drainage patterns, and spatial constraints at your Oxford location.

Using 3D modelling software, we create customised layouts optimising playability while addressing local planning considerations like noise mitigation and light pollution. Projects range from compact 10×20 m backyard installations to multi-court commercial complexes near the University Parks and Oxford Brookes campuses.

Precision Groundworks & Foundations

All installations begin with excavation to 650 mm depth, followed by compacted Type 1 MOT sub-base and 300 mm reinforced concrete foundations with integrated drainage channels.

We install porous asphalt surfacing with 1:100 cross-fall gradients to handle Oxford’s 733 mm annual rainfall. For sites with existing hardstanding like disused tennis courts, we retrofit galvanised steel ring beams to support enclosure walls.

Professional Court Installation

Wall systems combine 3 m tempered glass panels (12 mm thickness, EN 12150-1 certified) with 1 m powder-coated mesh fencing, anchored via M16 chemical dowels to concrete foundations.

Playing surfaces feature either FIFA Quality Pro artificial turf with 40 mm sand/rubber infill or textured concrete finishes meeting LTA bounce standards. All installations include LED floodlighting (500 lux minimum) with hooded fixtures to prevent light spill.
