Safety net

Keep every ball in play.

On a rooftop, beside a road or next to a neighbour, a ball that leaves the court is a problem. Our safety netting keeps balls in without getting in the way of the game.

Short answer

Does my padel court need a safety net?

A padel court needs extra safety netting when a ball leaving the court could cause harm or nuisance: rooftops, city plots, sites next to roads, parking or neighbours, and courts close together. Prism supplies impact-, wind- and moisture-resistant netting above and around the court, from extra barrier panels up to full enclosures 8–12 m high.

When you need it

Sites where safety netting pays for itself.

Balls go over the 4 m walls more often than you think, especially on lobs and smashes.

Rooftops

A ball off the roof is a real hazard to people below.

City centres

Streets, cars and shop windows next to the court.

Near neighbours

Gardens, pools and windows within reach of a lob.

Courts side by side

Keep balls from flying into the next game.

Resorts

Pools, terraces and walkways around the court.

Schools and parks

Busy public spaces with children nearby.

Padel court with a steel frame structure carrying netting and roof

Built in

Netting that is part of the structure.

Safety netting is hung from a steel frame designed with your court, not tied to whatever is nearby. It is resistant to impact, wind and moisture, and is tensioned so balls drop back instead of bouncing out.

  • Impact-resistant netting for powerful smashes
  • Resists wind and moisture, indoors and outdoors
  • Heights to 8–12 m, or a full netted roof
  • Combined with a shade roof if you want one
Outdoor padel courts with netting above the glass walls

No compromise on play

Players should not notice it.

Good netting sits outside the playing volume, so it never changes the game. Fine, dark mesh keeps the view open for players and spectators, day and night.

  • Outside the playing area
  • Fine mesh that keeps views open
  • Works with all lighting options

FAQ

Safety net questions.

Still unsure? WhatsApp +46 73 509 69 60 for an answer the same day.

What is a padel safety net?

Extra netting above and around a padel court that stops balls leaving the site. It is separate from the playing net in the middle of the court.

How high should safety netting be?

It depends on the site. Many courts need only extra barrier height behind the back walls. Rooftops and city sites often get netting at 8–12 m or a full netted roof.

Is safety netting required on a rooftop padel court?

In most places it is strongly advised, and local authorities or building owners may require it. We design it with your structural engineer.

Does safety netting affect play?

No. It sits outside the playing area and uses fine mesh so players and spectators can still see out.

How much does safety netting cost?

It is quoted per site, depending on height, area and structure. Send us your drawings for a quote.
