1) One key difference from tennis is that padel uses glass and mesh walls around the court. Players can hit the ball off the walls during play, which makes rallies longer and more exciting.
2) The back wall is usually 3 meters (9.8 feet) high
3) The side walls slope from 3 meters to 2 meters (6.6 feet) near the net
4) Some courts use enclosures up to 4 meters for added safety
- Net Height
The net in padel is slightly higher than in tennis:
0.88 meters (34.6 inches) in the center
0.92 meters (36.2 inches) at the posts
- Indoor Courts
If you’re planning an indoor padel court, ceiling height is important. A minimum of 6 meters (19.7 feet) is recommended so players can hit high lobs without obstruction. Good lighting is also essential for safe play.
