Outdoor padel is back in summer! Why is choosing the right court essential?

Summer is officially back, and along with it, outdoor padel courts are filling up again, both in the city, for those still waiting to go on vacation, and in vacation spots.

Despite the heat, the mosquitoes and the sun, which can sometimes obstruct your vision when you are about to hit an o smash, playing padel outdoors is truly a unique pleasure, especially when you are in particularly picturesque locations surrounded by the natural beauty the world has to offer.

As one can imagine, however, due to the constant exposure to the elements, an outdoor padel court presupposes a completely different level of maintenance than an indoor court, and for this reason it is important to pay attention to a number of factors, which will prove to be crucial in ensuring that the court has an ideal lifespan and thus a successful investment for the padel club.

So what are the problems to which an outdoor padel court is most exposed in summer?

• Rust: One of the most recurring problems, especially near the sea, is rust, which, depending on the higher or lower quality of the galvanizing, may begin to penetrate the interior of the structure, sometimes leading to damage that cannot be solved by simply repainting it.
• UV discolouration: discolouration due to UV rays mainly affects the field structure and synthetic turf, and for this reason it is good to rely on a quality, certified product provided with a long warranty on discolouration.
• Bubbles, wrinkles, shrinkage in the carpet: all three of these phenomena are quite common in synthetic grass and are mainly due to temperature changes, which, as you can imagine, are more pronounced on outdoor courts.
• Synthetic turf permeability: on outdoor courts, the permeability of the soil and carpet is critical to ensure that the synthetic turf dries quickly after rain and allows your padel field to be rented again.

Why are NXPadel courts the ultimate solution for outdoor courts?

NXPadel, is an Italian manufacturer of padel courts that from the very beginning decided to enter the market with a product different from all previous ones to bring to all stakeholders involved unprecedented and unique advantages also and especially in terms of maintenance. Let’s see why:

Rust-proof: The structure of NXPadel’s courts (beams, poles and fences) is made of Fiberglass, the only material in the padel courts world that is 100% chemically rust-proof. Therefore, it does not need expensive processing to resist oxidation and most importantly, it will never run the risk of rusting, making it perfect for any type of outdoor location.

ZeroS permeability: ZeroS is NXPadel’s revolutionary idea for synthetic turf, as it is completely sand-free. One of its most salient features is the absence of latex backing. In this way, rainwater, drains through every point of the mat and allows for much faster drying and avoiding water stagnation.

UV-Proof: Both the Fiberglass structure and ComfortGlass are covered by a 10-year warranty against UV rays. Therefore, the former will not tend to lose its color and the latter will not yellow. The same is true for ZeroS, but in its case, the warranty for UV rays is 5 years.

ZeroS bubbles or wrinkles: ZeroS is completely bonded to the ground and for this reason the risk of bubbles and folds or shrinkage of the mat will be nullified. Even and especially on out-door courts, where temperature changes are more pronounced.
