Padel Court Accessories & Add-Ons: Nets, Soft Bags, Cages and Scoring

The soft bag is the padded sleeve that wraps the steel columns and the lower part of the end walls. It exists because players run into the structure at speed, and a bare galvanised column is the hardest thing on the court.

PeakPadel builds it from a high-hardness EVA core covered by a waterproof tarpaulin sleeve. The core absorbs the impact; the outer sleeve keeps rain and sand out of the foam.

• Specified for clubs, schools and public venues where insurance or safety policy asks for padding.
• Standard wrap covers columns and the bottom rail; end walls can be covered to full height on request.
• Colour is chosen with the frame colour, so the padding reads as part of the court.

Where land allows a second pitch, a caged small-sided football area uses the same fencing and steel skills as the padel court and fills the bay that would otherwise stay empty.

• Square cage: straight runs of fence and roof netting, easiest to fit against a boundary wall.
• Round cage: curved run for corner plots and school yards.

These are not extra objects but choices made when the court is built. They travel with the order and are quoted on the same lines as the court itself.

• Turf colour: single-colour or multi-tone rolls, chosen per project.
• Frame colour: powder-coated to your colour; standard colours carry no surcharge.
• Cloud-grid underlay: the zero-wrinkle backing laid before the turf.

• Confirm which sports the venue will actually run — it decides between net systems and nothing at all.
• Ask whether your insurer or safety policy requires padding on the columns.
• Check the base detail before choosing floor-mounted posts: sockets must be cast in, not drilled later.
• Order the ball cart with the court: shipping a single cart later costs more than the cart.
• Keep add-on colours in the same palette as the court frame, or the padding looks retrofitted.
