If you're looking into building a padel court and wondering whether to go with a single or double court, here’s the short answer:
Single padel courts are smaller, made for one-on-one games, and great for private use or tight spaces. Double courts are the full-size version used for 2v2 matches—perfect for clubs, competitions, and commercial setups.
Let’s break it down in more detail so you can figure out which one fits your needs best.
A single padel court is designed for just two players—one on each side. It's usually 6 meters wide and 20 meters long, making it a much more compact option compared to standard courts.
This type of court is ideal for:
→ Personal or family use at home
→ 1-on-1 coaching and training
→ Indoor or small outdoor spaces
Because of its smaller size, a single court is also easier and cheaper to install. You won’t need as much land, and maintenance is pretty straightforward.
The standard 2v2 court is what most people think of when they hear "padel." It’s the regulation size—10 meters wide by 20 meters long—and is made for doubles matches, with two players on each team.
It’s the go-to choice for:
→ Padel clubs and gyms
→ Tournaments and leagues
→ Recreational group play
If you're planning to run a commercial padel facility or want the full game experience, a double court is the way to go.
Feature | Single Court | Double Court |
---|---|---|
Size | 6m × 20m | 10m × 20m |
Players | 1 vs 1 | 2 vs 2 |
Space Needed | Less | More |
Cost | Lower | Higher |
Purpose | Private use, small areas | Commercial use, competitions |
Installation Time | Faster | Longer |
Here’s a quick side-by-side to help you compare:
A few things to keep in mind:
● Space & Budget: Single courts are better if you don’t have a lot of room or want to keep the project affordable.
● User Type: Single courts work well for beginners, kids, or solo practice. Standard 2v2 court give a more social and competitive experience.
● Flexibility: Single courts can often be made portable or modular, which is great for events or rental businesses.
It really comes down to your situation.
