Suppose your club is planning to install a new padel court, and you're targeting a premium look with maximum playability. In that case, you'll likely be choosing between two of the most popular court types: the half panoramic padel court and the 360° Full Panoramic Padel Court. Both are visually impressive and offer an elevated playing experience, but they suit slightly different needs and budgets. In this article, we’ll help you compare the two so you can make the right investment for your facility, especially if you're in Southeast Asia, where indoor courts are in high demand.
If you're looking for a cost-effective, premium-looking court that works well for indoor setups, the Half Panoramic is ideal.
If your focus is on top-tier aesthetics, broadcasting, and brand positioning, the 360° Full Panoramic delivers an unmatched viewing and playing experience.
Both are suitable for clubs in Indonesia, where indoor padel is booming and clients often build custom roof structures separately.
The half panoramic padel court features open glass back walls without steel corner posts, while the side walls retain steel framing for support. It’s a smart balance between visual clarity and structural strength.
✅ Key Features:
Back corners are free of steel posts for better visibility
Ideal for indoor installations
Easier to install and slightly lower cost than a full panoramic
Keeps a modern, clean design aesthetic
Many Indonesian clients—especially in Jakarta and Surabaya—choose the Half Panoramic model because it offers a premium feel without the full cost of a 360° court, and it fits well within indoor sports halls or multi-use facilities.
The 360° Full Panoramic Padel Court removes nearly all framing from the back and sides of the court, creating a truly unobstructed viewing experience. The tempered glass panels are engineered to handle the stress without needing steel reinforcement in the visual zones.
✅ Key Features:
No steel corner posts at all
360° full-glass visibility—perfect for spectators and livestreaming
Premium design for luxury clubs or high-traffic venues
Best for professional events or brand-focused clubs
In upscale Indonesian locations like Bali and Central Jakarta, clubs that focus on tournaments, influencer events, or luxury sports experiences often opt for this model. The clean aesthetic enhances both brand perception and social media engagement.

Through working with numerous buyers across Indonesia, Fortune has identified several recurring questions:
1. “Which model is better for indoor clubs?”
Both are suitable, but the Half Panoramic is often preferred because it fits well into existing halls and is easier to maintain. It’s the perfect starting point for clubs building their first court.
2. “Is the glass strong enough without steel corners?”
Yes. Both models use 12mm thick tempered safety glass, certified for international padel standards. Fortune’s engineering ensures structural integrity even without corner posts.
3. “Do I need to include a roof in the court package?”
No. Most Indonesian clubs build their roofing or use indoor spaces, so Fortune courts are shipped as court-only systems without integrated roofing.
4. “How customizable are the designs?”
Fortune supports branding on the turf, posts, and glass. Many Indonesian clubs add logo printing, LED lighting (IP65 rated), and customized turf colors like blue, green, or even black.
Half panoramic padel court is great for clubs that want a modern design, smooth player experience, and a more accessible price point.
360° full panoramic court suits clubs aiming to impress—those targeting media coverage, influencers, or luxury club members.
→ Example from Jakarta: “We started with Half Panoramic to test the market. After building a member base, we added a 360° court as our signature court. It worked perfectly.”
