## Services (depending on the project)

- Court sales: American-built courts, and select imported courts depending on the situation; panoramic (indoor and outdoor), super panoramic (indoor) and single courts (6 x 20 m)
- Installation: steel frame, tempered glass, wire mesh, synthetic turf, LED lighting
- Slabs and site work: concrete forming, placing and finishing; grading and drainage
- Design documents: permit design package (CAD drawings, foundation details, ASCE 7 wind load engineering); engineer-stamped drawings available as an added service. Permit requirements are very local and vary by town.
- Architect consulting: placement, clearances, structural coordination, code review
- Maintenance: on courts Northeast Padel builds
- Other courts: tennis courts, pickleball courts and running tracks through parent company Cape and Island Tennis & Track, so a multi-sport project can stay with one builder
- Tennis court conversions: often possible with modification; asphalt courts typically need added foundations, post-tensioned concrete needs cable locations confirmed; one tennis footprint can hold a padel court plus a perpendicular pickleball court
- Indoor courts: at least 26 ft (8 m) clear height over the whole court; 30 ft or more is better
- First step: a 20-minute Zoom planning call covering budget pricing, timeline and the steps from design to permit to build

## Key facts about padel courts

- A padel court's playing area is 10 m x 20 m (about 33 x 66 ft). With clearance and access, plan roughly 40 x 80 ft per court.
- ASBA recommends at least 2 m (6.5 ft) between adjacent courts for recreational play.
- Outdoor padel courts in the U.S. fall under the International Building Code, which references ASCE 7 for wind loads. Courts need site-specific engineering with PE-stamped drawings.
- Eurocode EN 1991-1-4 ratings (10-minute mean wind speed) are not equivalent to ASCE 7 (3-second gust). A CE mark or Eurocode certification does not satisfy U.S. code.
- A rating that applies only with the glass removed is not ASCE 7 compliance. A panoramic court has 18 glass panels of about 400 lb each.
- A building permit does not by itself mean a court is code compliant.
