Roof and shade
Sun or rain, game on.
A roof turns a seasonal court into a year-round business. We design steel roofs and shade structures with your architect, for the climate you are in.
Short answer
How high should a padel court roof be?
A covered padel court needs at least 6 m clear height above the court, with 8 m recommended for lobs. Prism recommends a 10 m apex with 8–9 m at the sides. Roofs are designed per site with your architect for sun, rain and wind, and priced on size, materials and design.
Custom roof structures
Designed for your site.
No two sites are the same. We work with your architect and engineer from the start, looking at sun path, wind, rainfall and the buildings around you, then design a roof that fits the court and the setting.
- Steel roof structures sized for one court or many
- Rain protection and side shading as needed
- Netting up to 8–12 m on open sides
- Built for tropical sun and extreme weather
Why cover a court
A roof pays for itself in hours played.
Play all year
No lost bookings to rain or midday heat.
Longer turf life
Less UV and rain means turf and sand stay in shape longer.
Higher revenue
More bookable hours per court, and premium prices at peak times.
Better light
Lights can be hung from the roof, including the pole-free LED Halo.
Wind and storms
Roofs engineered for the local wind loads.
Comfort
Shade for players and spectators, so they stay longer.
Indoor clubs
From roof to full indoor club.
Whether you want a simple shade canopy or a complete indoor hall, we plan the roof, lighting and courts as one project, so heights, lights and drainage all work together.
- Clear height planned for lobs
- Lighting designed with the roof
- Drainage and gutters around the courts
Price the courts, then the roof.
The court builder prices courts, turf and lighting. Roofs are quoted per site from your drawings.

How high does a padel court roof need to be?
At least 6 m clear above the playing surface by the rules, 8 m recommended. We suggest a 10 m apex with 8–9 m at the sides.
How much does a padel court roof cost?
It depends on size, materials, wind loads and local building rules, so we quote roofs per site. Send us your plot dimensions and location.
Can you add a roof to an existing court?
Often yes, as a freestanding structure around the court. We check the site and foundations first.
Do covered courts need different lighting?
Lights can be mounted on the court poles or hung from the roof. A roof also makes the pole-free LED Halo ring possible.
Do you work with our architect?
Yes. We work with architects and engineers from the start and supply court drawings, loads and lighting layouts.
