Make it your court
Customization
& Branding
Every surface on an Alta Padel court that can carry your color, your logo or your club's identity — and what it takes to specify it.
Customization on every order
Frame color, turf color, net and doorway branding, luminaire panels and glass decals are worked out with you from the first conversation. Color and branding pricing is confirmed on your quote. Branding is priced by the factory, so lead time and price are confirmed on your quote, and we will tell you which choices move them before you make them.
01 Seven surfaces
A court is a lot of blank space.
Most clubs brand one or two things and leave the rest grey. The surfaces a player looks at for two hours are the cheapest media a club will ever own.
| Surface | What can change | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Back-wall glass | Club or sponsor decals, sourced and installed locally |
| 2 | Net and net posts | Branded net tape, branded net post covers, post color |
| 3 | Doorway covers and door plate | Branded doorway covers (sides and top), branded door plates, court numbering |
| 4 | Luminaire panels | Screen-printed driver housing panels, housing finish |
| 5 | Frame, columns and mesh | Any RAL color, matched across the structure |
| 6 | Turf and lines | Dyed-in surface color, line color, inlaid logos |
| 7 | Corner columns | Wraps and applied graphics |
02 Frame, columns & mesh
Color is a structural decision.
The frame is the largest single element of a court and the one visible from furthest away. It is also the one that has to survive weather for a decade, so the color and the coating are specified together rather than separately.
Frame, column and mesh — any RAL; these are the ones most often chosen
- Charcoal
Alta standard - Jet Black
Alta standard - Signal White
RAL 9003 - Deep Navy
RAL 5011 - Forest
RAL 6003 - Silver Grey
RAL 7001 - Oxide Red
RAL 3009 - Your color
From your Pantone chart
Turf — Alta Blue and Court Green are standard; color is dyed into the turf, not printed
- Alta Blue
Alta standard - Court Green
Alta standard - Olive
Alternative - Terracotta
Alternative - Slate
Alternative - Pink
Alternative - Purple
Alternative - Your color
Matched to your swatch
For a custom frame color, send us your Pantone color chart so we can match it accurately. Pricing for custom frame colors, turf alternatives and custom-swatch turf is confirmed on your quote; custom turf colors can carry a minimum order. Line color is specified separately. Swatches are indicative; physical samples are available before production.
What you choose
| Color | Any RAL reference, matched across columns, top ring and mesh |
|---|---|
| Standard | Alta Charcoal, or Jet Black RAL 9005 |
| Price | Alta Charcoal and Jet Black included; any other RAL confirmed on your quote. |
| Two-tone | Columns and ring in different colors — available, usually restrained |
| Mesh | Matched to frame, or contrasted deliberately |
What does not change
Zinc primer, and a powder topcoat over it, oven-cured. That is the standard finish on every court, regardless of color.
For salt-air, coastal and desert sites, hot-dip galvanizing to ISO 1461 or the factory’s full C5-M system can be specified. Either has to be confirmed before steel is cut, because the frame is built differently from the outset. Neither limits your color choice.
A word on light colors
White and very pale frames look excellent on day one and show every mark afterwards — ball scuffs, hand marks at the gates, road dust. They are entirely viable and several clubs choose them, but they want a club that will clean them. Mid and dark tones hide wear and are what we would suggest for a high-traffic commercial site.
03 Net, doorways, lighting & glass
The details people stand next to.
These are small surfaces and they punch above their size, because they are the ones a player is within arm's reach of between points. They are also where most clubs put their branding — and we can customize every one of them to your colors and combinations.
Net & posts
- Branded net tape, woven or printed
- Branded net post covers
- Post finish matched to frame
- Center strap detailing
WPT-spec net and galvanized posts underneath, unchanged.
Doorways
- Branded doorway covers, sides and top
- Branded door plates, engraved or printed
- Court numbering
- Sponsor panel at the entrance
Court numbers matter more than clubs expect on a multi-court site — specify them at order.
Lighting
- Screen-printed driver panels
- Housing finish to match frame
- Swan pole color
- Back shields on indoor rings
Standard housing is Twilight Black, Pantone 419 C.
The detail worth spending on
If a club brands one thing, we suggest the doorway. It is the surface every single person on the court passes through, at walking pace, close enough to read — and it photographs in almost every group shot taken at a padel club.
Branded net tape, net post covers, doorway covers and door plates are made by the factory to your artwork. Each one is a line on your quote, with its price and lead time confirmed there.
Glass decals
Back-wall glass can carry club or sponsor decals. We don't apply them ourselves: we source the decals to your artwork and bid a local sign company to install them, as part of the project scope. Decals are changeable, so sponsor graphics can rotate by season.
What stays the same
Decals never change the glass specification — 1/2 in (12 mm) tempered glass, SGCC certified to ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201, neoprene bedded. The glass itself is never printed, so a replacement panel is plain glass with a new decal applied. Keep high-contrast artwork out of the central playing band at eye height, where it competes with the ball.
04 Turf & lines
The surface people photograph.
Overhead and elevated shots are how padel is photographed, which makes the turf the most published surface at your club. It is also the one with the tightest performance constraints — color is a choice, but pile and infill are not.
Color
| Standard | Alta Blue or Court Green |
|---|---|
| Alternatives | Olive, terracotta, slate, pink, purple |
| Custom | Any color, matched to a physical swatch of the exact color you want |
| Price | Alta Blue and Court Green included; alternative and custom colors confirmed on your quote. Custom colors can carry a minimum order. |
| How it's colored | Dyed into the turf fiber, not printed on it |
| Two-tone | Different color inside and outside the service lines |
| Lines | White standard; any contrasting color to order |
| Inlaid logos | Cut and seamed into the turf, not printed on it |
What stays fixed
Pile height, stitch density and infill depth are set by the Pro-Tour specification and do not vary with color. Ball bounce, traction and slide behave identically whichever surface color you choose.
Inlaid logos
Best placed outside the playing area — the run-off behind the service line, or the strip between the court and the enclosure. A logo inlaid where players push off will wear faster than the turf around it and will be the first thing that looks tired.
Choosing a color that still looks right in year four
Turf is the element most exposed to UV and the one you keep longest between replacements. Saturated blues and greens hold their appearance best. Very dark surfaces run hot in southern climates and show sand migration clearly; very light surfaces show every mark. If the club has a strong brand color, our usual advice is to carry it on the frame, the net and the doorways and keep the playing surface in a proven tone.
Turf around the courts
We can also supply turf for the spaces between and around your courts, through our turf manufacturer. Any grade is available, from high-level pro court turf to a softer, walkable landscape turf, in any color.
Why clubs add it
Turf between courts takes the edge off the hard sound of an all-concrete floor and ties the club together visually — the courts read as one venue rather than separate cages on a slab. Specify it with the court order so it arrives with the same color and grade you approved.
05 Beyond the court
The club around it.
Courts arrive branded; clubs are built around them. These are the elements we can supply or coordinate alongside the court order so that everything matches on opening day rather than approximately matching six months later.
Supplied with the court
- Windbreak and privacy banners on the perimeter fence
- Surround and walkway turf between courts
- Court-side sponsor boards
- Entrance and gateway signage
- Court numbering and wayfinding
- Bench and seating in club colors
Coordinated
- Glass decals, installed by a local sign company
- Club identity and naming, through our consulting team
- Scoreboards and court-side displays
- Retail fit-out and demo racket walls
Sponsor inventory
A padel court carries more saleable surface than most owners realize. Laid out in advance, a single court offers doorway covers, net tape, net post covers, back-wall glass, the upper glass band, perimeter banners and court-side boards — seven distinct positions before anything is built around it.
We can produce a branded court elevation showing every available position, which is a considerably easier thing to sell from than a description.
Plan sponsor positions before the order. Changeable surfaces should be specified as changeable; permanent ones should be the club's own identity, not a sponsor who may not renew.
