We build complete padel courts: the steel structure, 10 or 12 mm tempered glass, the mesh, artificial turf, LED lighting and the net, on a laser-levelled concrete slab. The FIP rules set the court at 20 × 10 m, 4 m high at the ends, with mesh openings of 5 to 7.08 cm on the diagonal and wire of 2 to 3 mm.
