Keep Courts Playable All Year Round

Padel is growing quickly in the UK, but outdoor courts lose a lot of playing time to rain, wind and poor light. A padel court canopy turns an outdoor court into a weather-protected facility that can earn income twelve months a year.

Alotek designs and manufactures canopy structures for schools, councils and businesses. That experience carries straight over to padel: load ratings, clear-span structures and the planning process.

We are a UK manufacturer based in Lancashire. We design, fabricate and install, so there are no import delays, no third-party installation teams, and after-sales support comes from the people who built the structure.

Why Cover Your Padel Court?

Play All Year Round

An outdoor padel court in the UK loses a lot of playing time to rain, wind and poor light. A canopy wins most of that time back, so court hire, coaching and memberships can run all year.

Charge More for Court Hire

Covered courts can charge more than open-air courts. Players pay for reliable playing conditions, and clubs can attract corporate hire, tournaments and coaching programmes that need weather protection.

Protect Your Court Investment

A padel court is a significant capital investment. A canopy shields the surface, glass panels and metalwork from UV and weather damage, which helps extend the life of the court and keeps maintenance down.

UK Manufacturer, No Import Delays

Some padel canopy suppliers import from Europe, which can affect lead times, warranty support and after-sales service. Alotek designs and manufactures in Lancashire, with straightforward communication, UK specifications and our own installation teams.

Structures in conservation areas or next to listed buildings.
Sites where permitted development rights have been removed.
School and leisure sites may have conditions from their planning history.

Technical specification documents required by planning authorities
Guidance on the pre-application process if needed

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about padel court canopies

How much does a padel court canopy cost in the UK?

A single padel court canopy typically costs from £62,000 to £80,000 supplied and installed. The final figure depends on site conditions (ground type, access and existing structures), the specification (steel or aluminium frame, roofing type) and any planning requirements. A two-court canopy starts from around £120,000. We provide a clear, itemised quotation after a free site survey, with no hidden costs.

Do I need planning permission for a padel court canopy?

In most cases, yes. A padel court canopy is a permanent structure and usually needs planning permission, given its height (at least 8m) and footprint. Requirements vary with your site location, whether it is in a conservation area and the nature of your facility. Planning support is included with every padel canopy project: we provide drawings and documentation and advise on the application for your site.

Can a canopy be fitted over an existing padel court?

Often, yes. Many padel court structures can take an overhead canopy. We carry out a structural survey to confirm compatibility and identify any extra groundworks or foundations needed. Retrofits are generally more cost-effective than building a canopy as part of a new court. Send us details of your existing court and we will advise.

What is the minimum height for a padel court canopy?

A padel court canopy needs at least 8m of clear height above the playing surface so lobs and overhead shots are not restricted. Our structures are designed to meet this, and we can design taller structures where the site needs it.

How long does installation take?

A single court canopy usually takes 3 to 5 days to install. Multi-court installations take longer, usually 7 to 10 working days. We plan the work to keep disruption to your facility low and can avoid key playing periods where possible.

What roofing material do you use?

We use translucent polycarbonate panels as standard. They let in natural daylight, so courts stay bright during the day without extra lighting. If you prefer an opaque roof, other materials are available. Discuss your requirements with us at the survey stage.

Are your padel canopies suitable for year-round use in the UK?

Yes. Our canopy structures are designed for UK weather, including wind loads specific to your site (coastal, urban and exposed sites all differ). Structures are designed to BS EN 1991. Durability in British conditions is central to what we make.

Do you supply padel courts as well as canopies?

We specialise in the canopy and weatherproofing structure. For the court itself (surface, glass panels, posts and net), we can recommend established padel court installers or work alongside your chosen court supplier. If you are planning a new facility, confirm the court layout before commissioning the canopy so the dimensions are exact.
