Padel Court Canopies

Smart, Built-to-last Shelters for Outdoor Padel Courts

Padel is booming—and with it, the demand for high-quality, year-round facilities.

Whether you're a dedicated padel operator, a local tennis club, a university, or a local authority, our padel court canopies offer unmatched durability, flexibility and visual appeal for operators who value quality over cost.

What are Padel Canopies?

Our steel padel canopy is purpose-designed to shelter padel courts and other outdoor sports. Unlike lightweight fabric shelters which deteriorate within a few years, our galvanised cold-formed steel structures deliver decades of reliable protection with minimal maintenance.

Our efficient manufacturing processes enable us to produce high-quality, long-lasting structures faster and more cost-effectively than a custom design.

Its clean, modern look also integrates seamlessly with solar technology—helping you reduce costs and meet your sustainability goals.

Durable, Long-Lasting Construction

Made from high-quality cold formed steel, our canopies offer a long-term solution which will last you for decades. More cost-effective than a custom-build design, but more robust than a temporary building, we offer the best of both worlds.

Solar-ready roofs

Generate renewable electricity and cut costs by installing solar panels on your padel court roof. Adding a solar panel installation demonstrates your commitment to ESG goals and enhances your return on investment.

Sustainable Design

Our canopies are made from 100% recyclable steel and have been optimised to reduce steel use by up to 30%. This helps to save materials, cut carbon and transport emissions while also reducing cost.

Our manufacturing facility is also powered entirely by renewable energy.

Flexible Configuration

Our innovative modular design enables you to adapt your padel canopy to your needs

Choose between fully open, semi-enclosed or fully enclosed walls, extend bays or adapt the space for other uses in future.

It's also fast to install, keeping disruption on your site to a minimum.

Let's talk

Can a padel canopy be retrofitted over existing courts?

Yes, our modular design makes it ideal for retrofitting over existing padel courts with minimal disruption.

Do padel canopies require planning permission?

In many cases, yes. We support you through the process with drawings and guidance based on previous successful installations.

What funding can I access to install a padel court?

We aren't qualified to advise on what funding sources you can access, as this changes all the time. However, some of the common routes are:

Sport England - which offers a range of grants for sports facilities under their 'Small Grants' or 'Community Investment' programmes. Installing a padel court cover could qualify as a project that increases physical activity or broadens access to sport.
National Lottery Community Fund - which funds community focused projects (including sport and health initiatives)
Active Partnerships - may provide funding or coordinate access to funding. They can be helpful for connecting with grassroots and local authority grants.

Other funding options could include crowdfunding (Sport England may match this), sponsorship from other companies or sustainable development funds (if you're planning to install solar panels with the canopy.)
