The Client
A company with padel on the roof
This rooftop padel court in Switzerland was built for a private company that wanted padel right on top of its own building. For confidentiality reasons, we do not publish the company’s name or the exact location. Nevertheless, the project shows how unused roof space can become a real asset for a business.
The Challenge
High wind loads on the roof
A rooftop is one of the most demanding places for a padel court. Unlike a court at ground level, it is fully exposed to the wind, with no trees or buildings around it for shelter. As a result, the structure, glass and mesh face much higher wind loads. In addition, the court had to share the roof with solar panels and building services. At the same time, the client expected a premium court with a clean, high-end look.
The Solution
Mod. PREMIUM SEP-C
PadelCreations therefore chose the Mod. PREMIUM SEP-C, from our structurally reinforced PREMIUM line for outdoor use. Behind the frame, additional reinforcement posts give the structure the extra stiffness that high wind loads require. Furthermore, the court is designed according to Eurocode wind-load standards, so every module, glass panel and fixing point is sized for the conditions on the roof.
Fitted into the roof
The court was integrated between the existing solar panels and technical installations. Thanks to floodlights on four masts, it is also playable in the evening.
The Result
Padel above the rooftops
Today, the company has its own padel court with open views over the Swiss countryside, just steps away from the workplace. Above all, the project proves that a roof can be a safe, stable place for padel, as long as the court is engineered for the wind.
One roof. Full wind load. Premium padel.
