Padel is the fastest-growing racket sport on Earth, with an estimated 25 million players globally and new courts opening every day across Europe, 中東, and the Americas. But when ordering artificial grass for a padel court, most buyers forget the sand — and end up with a slippery, dangerous surface that fails within months of installation.
The standard doubles court needs exactly 200 m² of carpet. But that is only half the order. The sand infill — roughly 2 metric tons per court — is what makes the surface playable. Without it, the ball will not bounce correctly, players will slide unpredictably, and the fibers will flatten and degrade far faster than their rated lifespan. Sand is not an accessory for padel; it is a structural component of the playing surface.
This guide gives exact carpet m², roll count, sand tonnage, and FOB cost for 1–8 courts, based on FIP (International Padel Federation) standard dimensions. Whether you are building a single training court or an eight-court commercial complex, you will find the precise quantities to put on a purchase order. If your project has non-standard dimensions, 私たちの padel court artificial grass specialists will prepare a custom quote within 24 時間.

FIP Standard Dimensions: の 200 m² Baseline
Every padel court order starts from a single, fixed number: 200 m². の International Padel Federation (FIP) sets the standard doubles court at exactly 20 m × 10 m = 200 m² of playing surface. This is the baseline every manufacturer, installer, and tournament organizer works from, and it is documented in the standard 落ちた specification used worldwide.
What makes padel unique among racket sports is that the playing surface is fully enclosed by glass walls. There is no run-off buffer to account for — unlike テニス, フットボール, またはホッケー, where meters of perimeter margin must be added to the field of play. The carpet is cut to the exact interior dimensions of the glass enclosure, not an approximate footprint with safety margins.
This means two things for your order. 初め, the carpet area is a precise figure, not a range — 200 m² for doubles, 120 m² for singles. 2番, because there is no run-off, every square meter you order maps directly to playable surface. There is no wasted perimeter carpet hidden inside the total.
ダブルス (標準): 20 m × 10 m = 200 m²
Singles (トレーニング): 20 m × 6 m = 120 m²
Enclosure: Fully glass-walled — no run-off buffer needed

Why Sand Is 50% of Your Order (And Most Buyers Forget It)
Padel 人工芝のサプライチェーンにギャップが 1 つある場合, これです. バイヤーはカーペットの仕様、つまりパイルの高さを注意深く調査します。, 繊維の種類, デシテックス, ゲージ — そして砂を脚注として扱います. その結果、完璧なカーペットと詰め物のないコートが完成します。, 別のサンド注文が調達されるまでプレイ不能にする, 発送されました, そして広がる. 競合SERP分析において, most supplier pages mention sand exists but almost none quantify how much is needed. This section closes that gap.
Padel uses sand-filled artificial grass. The sand is not optional, decorative, or a "nice to have" — it is a load-bearing structural component of the playing surface. The carpet fibers are designed to stand upright within a bed of graded silica sand, and without that sand bed, the system does not function.
The sand performs four critical functions simultaneously:
- Ball bounce regulation: Sand density controls how high and how fast the ball bounces off the surface. Too little sand and the ball shoots; too much and it dies.
- Player grip: The sand layer provides the traction players need for sudden stops, directional changes, and lateral movement. A sand-starved court is a slip hazard.
- Fiber stabilization: The weight of the sand holds the artificial grass fibers upright, preventing premature flattening and extending the carpet's usable life from months to years.
- Fire resistance: Sand-filled surfaces meet higher fire safety standards than unfilled systems, which matters for both indoor facilities and insurance compliance.
The standard sand infill rate for padel is 10 kg/平方メートル, with acceptable variation from 8 kg/平方メートル (light) に 12 kg/平方メートル (heavy) depending on the pile height and fiber design. For a single FIP-standard doubles court, the math is straightforward:
200 m² × 10 kg/m² = 2,000 kg = 2 metric tons of sand per court
Scale that to a multi-court project and the numbers escalate quickly. For an eight-court complex: 200 m² × 8 courts × 10 kg/m² = 16,000 kg = 16 metric tons of sand. At that volume, sand ships in its own dedicated container and may account for more than half the total shipment weight.
Roll Layout: How 4m Wide Rolls Cover a 10m Wide Court
Padel artificial grass is manufactured in standard rolls: 4 m wide × 25 m long = 100 m² per roll. This is the same roll format used across the sports grass industry, and it creates a specific geometric challenge for padel: the court is 10 幅メートル, but the roll is only 4 幅メートル. Understanding how those rolls are laid out determines your waste percentage and your final roll count.
To cover the 10 m width of a doubles court, 設置者はロールから切り取った 3 本のストリップが必要です: ある 4 メートルストリップ, 別の 4 メートルストリップ, そして 2 メートルストリップ (4 + 4 + 2 = 10). 各ストリップはフルに実行されます 20 コートの長さ m. これは、1 つのコートが 3 つの別々のロールからの素材を消費することを意味します, 3 番目のロールからの大幅なオフカットあり.
標準ロールとして注文されたシングルコートの場合, あなたには必要でしょう 3 ロール: 300 カバーするために注文された材料の平方メートル 200 コートの㎡ - a 33% 廃棄物要因. これが、ほとんどのプロの Padel プロジェクトが使用する理由です。 工場でプレカット: メーカーは出荷前に必要な正確なストリップ寸法にロールをカットします。, 無駄を大幅に削減.
工場でプレカットされた標準品付き 10% 縫い目とトリミングの無駄許容量, 実際の注文量は次のように減少します。 220 ダブルスコートあたりの㎡ (200 m² + 10%). マルチコートプロジェクトの場合, あるコートのレイアウトからの端材が次のコートに直接供給されるため、無駄の要素はさらに減少します。.
| Courts | カーペットエリア (m²) | 注文数量 (m²) | 必要なロール |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 court | 200 | 220 | 3 |
| 2 courts | 400 | 440 | 5 |
| 4 courts | 800 | 880 | 9 |
| 6 courts | 1,200 | 1,320 | 14 |
| 8 courts | 1,600 | 1,760 | 18 |

Multi-Court Projects: The Real B2B Economics
ほとんどの B2B Padel バイヤーは 1 つのコートを建設しているのではなく、4 ～ 8 つのコートを建設しています。. 商業パデルクラブは通常、同時ダブルスプレイを提供するために 4 つのコートで立ち上げられます。, 一方、大規模な複合施設やスポーツリゾートは、土地平方メートル当たりの収益を最大化するために、8 つの裁判所に直接アクセスします。. 複数裁判所の発注の経済性は、単一裁判所の購入とは根本的に異なります, and understanding them is what separates a profitable project from an overpriced one.
A four-court club orders 880 m² of carpet (200 m² × 4 × 1.10) そして 8 tons of sand. An eight-court complex orders 1,760 m² of carpet そして 16 tons of sand — enough to fill a 20-foot shipping container as a dedicated consignment. At these volumes, the per-unit cost drops significantly through factory-direct pricing.
The price gap between factory-direct and distributor channels is substantial. Factory-direct padel artificial grass runs $18–$45 per m² depending on fiber type and pile height, while the same specification through a Western distributor typically costs $40–$70 per m². On an eight-court order of 1,760 m², that difference can amount to tens of thousands of dollars — enough to fund additional courts, glass systems, or lighting.
| プロジェクトの規模 | Carpet (m²) | ロール | 砂 (tons) | Total Weight | 配送 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 court | 220 | 3 | 2 | ~2.4 t | LCL |
| 2 courts | 440 | 5 | 4 | ~4.8 t | LCL |
| 4 courts | 880 | 9 | 8 | ~10 t | LCL / 20フィート |
| 8 courts | 1,760 | 18 | 16 | ~20 t | 20ft container |
Beyond pure material cost, multi-court projects benefit from shared logistics. A single eight-court order fills one 20ft container, which is far more cost-efficient per square meter than shipping four separate two-court consignments. The factory also batches production for a single order, ensuring consistent color and fiber characteristics across all courts — a detail that matters when courts are side by side and visible to players simultaneously.
Price Tiers: How Unit Cost Drops at 1, 4, そして 8 Courts
The per-square-meter price of padel artificial grass is not flat — it drops in tiers as order volume increases. A single-court buyer may pay $45/m² for the same specification that an eight-court buyer gets at $32/m². Understanding where these price breaks occur lets you plan a multi-phase project for maximum cost efficiency.
Three factors drive the volume discount. 初め, production setup: each specification requires a dedicated production run. Spreading that setup cost across 1,760 m² instead of 220 m² lowers per-unit overhead dramatically. 2番, raw material procurement: yarn, latex backing, and sand are purchased by the ton — larger orders qualify for bulk pricing. 三番目, container efficiency: an eight-court order fills a 20ft container as a single consignment, while a single court ships as LCL (less-than-container-load) at a much higher cost per cubic meter.
| Order Size | 注文数量 (m²) | FOB Unit Price | Total Carpet Cost | Freight Method |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 court | 220 | $28 – $45 | $6,160 – $9,900 | LCL (high $/m²) |
| 4 courts | 880 | $22 – $38 | $19,360 – $33,440 | LCL or 20ft FCL |
| 8 courts | 1,760 | $18 – $32 | $31,680 – $56,320 | 20ft FCL (lowest $/m²) |
The savings are substantial. Going from 1 に 4 courts typically reduces the unit price by 15–20%. Going from 4 に 8 courts saves another 10–15%. For a club planning to build in phases, batching the carpet order into a single purchase — even if installation is staggered — can fund an entire extra court from the savings alone.

Production lead time: 15–25 days
This is the quantity breakdown your supplier needs to quote accurately. When you send a purchase order with these exact line items, the factory confirms pricing, production schedule, and container planning in a single response — no back-and-forth clarification needed.
重さ, Containers & 配送
Padel court materials are heavy — heavier than most first-time importers expect. The carpet itself is dense, and the sand infill adds the bulk of the shipment weight. Planning the logistics around actual material weight is what determines whether your order ships efficiently or incurs unexpected freight surcharges.
For a single doubles court, the carpet weighs approximately 400 kg (220 m² × ~1.8 kg/m² for 12 mm pile), and the sand adds another 2,000 kg (2 metric tons). Total material weight for one court: 約 2.4 tons. This ships comfortably as less-than-container-load (LCL) cargo.
コート 4 面まで拡張すると、カーペットだけで約 5 メートルの重さになります 1,600 kg, と 8 大量の砂 - おおよそ 10 合計トン. これはまだ LCL の範囲内ですが、立方メートルあたり専用コンテナの方が経済的になる閾値に近づいています。. 8つの法廷で, 合計は約に達します 20 tons (3.2 トンカーペット + 16 砂トン), 基準を満たすもの 20-フット輸送コンテナ.
| プロジェクトの規模 | カーペットの重量 | 砂の重量 | Total Weight | 配送方法 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 court | ～400kg | 2,000 kg | ~2.4 t | LCL |
| 4 courts | ～1,600kg | 8,000 kg | ~10 t | LCLまたは20フィート |
| 8 courts | ～3,200kg | 16,000 kg | ~20 t | 20ft container |
Ordering Mistakes That Cost You m² and Money
After supplying padel courts to 50+ 国, the same quantity errors recur on purchase orders. Each one below turns a straightforward order into a costly problem — not because the product is wrong, but because the quantities are wrong.
200 m² is the playing surface, not the order quantity. Every court needs cutting and seaming margin. Order exactly 200 m² and you will run short — the last strip will be 10–15 m² short, halting installation while you place a rush reorder. Always add 10%: order 220 ダブルスコートあたりの㎡.
The single most damaging error. Carpet arrives, sand doesn't, and the court cannot open. By the time a separate sand order is sourced and shipped, the fibers may have already flattened from foot traffic during installation. Always include sand tonnage in the same purchase order: 2 tons per court at 10 kg/平方メートル.
Standard 4m rolls produce 33% waste on a 10m-wide court (you need 4+4+2 = 3 strips, but only use 2 full rolls' worth of material). Factory pre-cutting reduces waste to 10%. On a 4-court order, that is the difference between ordering 12 rolls and 9 ロール — ある 25% material saving plus lower freight.
Buyers calculate carpet weight but forget that sand infill is 5× heavier. A 4-court order is not 1.6 tons of carpet — それはです 1.6 tons of carpet plus 8 tons of sand, totaling ~10 tons. This determines whether you need LCL or a full container. Get the weight wrong and you face freight surcharges or customs delays.
High-wear zones (service boxes, net area) may need patching after 3–5 年. Ordering an exact quantity with zero spare means a future repair requires a minimum-order rush shipment of mismatched carpet. 追加 20 m² (10% of one court) to the original order costs little but saves thousands later.
よくある質問
How long does padel artificial grass last?
A well-specified padel court surface lasts 8–12 years with proper maintenance. The key factors are UV stabilization (for outdoor courts), correct sand infill levels maintained through periodic top-ups, and professional installation with proper seam bonding. High-traffic commercial facilities may see the upper end of wear sooner; private courts with lighter use often exceed 12 years before replacement.
Can I use regular tennis court grass for padel?
いいえ. Padel には、次のように設計された特定の表面が必要です。 砂の充填率が高い (8–12kg/m²) そして特定の 繊維の質感 FIP パフォーマンスウィンドウ内でボールの跳ね返りを調整します。. テニスコート人工芝 - ハードコートかどうか, 粘土シミュレーション, または砂で満たされた場合でも、山の高さは異なります, 密度, パデルボールの正しい挙動を実現しないインフィル仕様. パデルにテニスグラスを使用すると、表面が間違ってプレーし、失敗が早くなります.
屋内パデルコートには砂が必要ですか?
はい. 砂の充填は必須です コートが屋内か屋外かに関係なく、ボールの挙動. 砂がバウンスを調整する, プレーヤーにトラクションを提供する, そして繊維を安定させます. 砂のない屋内コートは、屋外コートと同じようにプレーできない特性を持ちます。. Indoor courts may use a slightly different sand grade or rate depending on the pile height (頻繁 15 mm premium for indoor), but the sand itself is mandatory.
What is the blue color on professional padel courts?
The blue playing surface is the standard color required by FIP for professional tournaments. The specific shade — a medium-dark blue — provides optimal visual contrast for both players tracking the ball and broadcast cameras covering the match. While recreational courts can be green, blue is now the default for any court intended for competitive or televised play. The color is dyed into the fiber during manufacturing, not applied afterward.
How much does a full padel court cost?
A complete padel court — including artificial grass and sand, glass walls, structural frame, mesh fencing, net system, lighting, and sub-base construction — typically costs $24,000–$65,000 total. The range depends heavily on glass quality, court category (FIP tournament vs recreational), location, and whether installation is included. The carpet and sand alone represent roughly 15–25% of the total project cost; the glass and structure account for the majority.
Can I order just the carpet if I source sand locally?
Yes — and many experienced buyers do exactly this. Sourcing sand locally is a common practice that eliminates 60–80% of the shipment weight and significantly reduces freight cost. The factory will provide the exact sand grade specification (typically 0.2–0.6 mm rounded silica sand) so your local supplier matches the required standard. Just ensure the local sand meets the graded specification — using generic builder's sand will compromise the court's playability.
