Every question.
A straight answer.

MejorSet runs an official certification programme for installers. To get certified we were trained by MejorSet's technical team on the correct procedures, tolerances and quality standards, and we're audited against those standards on an ongoing basis. The practical effect: MejorSet backs the structural integrity of our work, and you have recourse to their technical team if anything ever goes wrong. Any installer can import MejorSet panels; only certified installers are authorised to say the court is installed to MejorSet's spec.

You can — there are cheaper courts on the market. The real question is whether you're buying an asset or a liability. Courts built outside FIP/MejorSet spec often fail within 5–8 years. The glass anchoring, the steel tolerances, the surface gradients — they all matter. A court that fails (or worse, injures someone) costs far more than the upfront saving. We'll also tell you straight if a different option makes more sense for your situation.

Yes. MejorSet has been the official court partner for the Premier Padel Tour since 2022. The FIP Official Court model was used at the World Championships in Qatar (2022) and Dubai (2023), as well as the European Games in Kraków 2023. It's not a marketing claim — MejorSet earned that position by providing courts that meet the technical demands of professional play.

The FIP (Federación Internacional de Pádel) is the global governing body for the sport. Their "official court" designation is the highest technical standard a padel court can carry. It guarantees specific glass impact ratings, structural loading specifications, court dimensions and surface properties. A FIP-official court built by a certified installer gives you confidence that your investment meets the globally recognised standard — not just a local interpretation of it.

Padel courts in South Africa are sold and installed by certified installers — not retailed off-the-shelf. The buying process with Padel Craft is straightforward: (1) a 30-minute discovery call to confirm site feasibility and budget, (2) a site visit, with the court itself spec'd by you through MejorSet's online configurator (colours, glass, branding), (3) order confirmation and deposit, (4) MejorSet manufacturing and shipping, (5) civil works and certified installation on site, (6) handover and opening day. Timelines depend on the court model and site conditions — we give you a firm schedule as part of your quote. Start with the discovery call form and we'll take it from there.

Indicative ranges for a MejorSet court installed by Padel Craft:

• Court only: From R 950 000 (on a prepared slab)
• Court + civil: From R 1 250 000
• Full turnkey: From R 1 600 000

These are starting points. Final pricing depends on the court model, site conditions (ground work required, access, drainage), civil scope, lighting and any custom features. We produce a detailed quote after the site assessment — no surprises.

Installation timelines depend on the court model, site conditions, the scope of civil works and the MejorSet order schedule at the time. We run civil works in parallel with the manufacturing lead time wherever possible to keep things moving. You'll get a firm, site-specific timeline as part of your quote — once we've completed the site assessment and locked in your order.

MejorSet courts are priced in Euros. The ZAR figures we quote are therefore subject to exchange rate movement between enquiry and order. We give you the Euro price at quote stage and convert at the rate applicable when you confirm. In a volatile Rand environment, this is worth planning for. We'll always be transparent about the exchange rate impact and give you a fixed ZAR price once you confirm the order — locking in the rate at that point.

Every court needs routine maintenance: surface cleaning, glass inspection, hardware checks and eventual surface resurfacing (typically every 5–8 years depending on usage). We offer maintenance plans that cover annual inspections and preventive care, as well as rapid-response support if something needs attention. A well-maintained MejorSet court should last 20+ years before any major structural work is required.

A standard padel court is 10m × 20m. The site needs to allow for:

• Minimum 14m × 24m of clear, level ground (allowing safety zones)
• Adequate drainage — padel courts cannot be permanently waterlogged
• Sufficient access for construction equipment and material delivery
• No overhead obstructions (power lines, trees) within the court envelope
• Ground capable of supporting a reinforced concrete slab

We assess all of this at the site visit. Most standard estate, club and resort sites are suitable with relatively straightforward preparation.

Yes. MejorSet courts are available in both outdoor and indoor configurations. Indoor courts require specific ceiling height clearance (minimum 8m recommended) and appropriate flooring preparation. Many of the premium courts in MejorSet's global portfolio are indoor installations. If you have an existing building you want to convert, we'll assess the structural requirements as part of the site visit.

The X-Treme is specifically engineered for coastal and extreme environments. It uses 15mm safety glass and marine-grade corrosion-resistant materials throughout — designed to deliver a 20+ year structural lifespan even in the harshest conditions. If your site is within 5km of the coast, exposed to salt air, or subject to extreme heat or humidity, we'll recommend the X-Treme. The price premium over the standard models is justified by the long-term durability it delivers — protecting your capital investment for decades.

Yes. The Panoramic RC10 in particular is MejorSet's most customisable platform — frame colours, glass panel configurations and branding options are all available. All models allow for custom RAL colour finishes on the structural elements. Court surface branding (logos, sponsor markings) can also be applied at installation or retrospectively. We'll walk you through the options in the proposal stage.

Absolutely — and we'd encourage it if your site and budget allow. Multi-court developments (2–6 courts) benefit from economies of scale in both the MejorSet order and the civil works. A 2-court development doesn't cost twice a single court — civil work is shared, mobilisation is a single event and installation time overlaps. If you're planning more than one court, mention it at the enquiry stage and we'll scope accordingly.

30 minutes. We'll ask about your site (location, approximate dimensions, existing infrastructure), your goals (how many courts, target user, timeline), and your budget envelope. We'll give you an honest initial read on feasibility and likely cost range. If it makes sense to proceed, we'll schedule a site visit. There is no obligation at any stage until you confirm an order.

Requirements vary by municipality, estate rules and property type. In many cases, a padel court falls within a standard site development or sporting facility application. We'll advise based on your specific location and the relevant local authority requirements. Estates and golf clubs often already have the necessary approvals in place for additional sporting facilities, or have existing precedent for similar structures. We'll flag the planning requirements early in the process so they don't become a surprise delay.

Very little at the enquiry stage. A rough site plan or aerial photo, your location, an idea of how many courts you want and a rough sense of your budget envelope. We'll handle everything else from there. The more detail you can give us, the more accurate our initial assessment will be — but don't let imperfect information stop you from starting the conversation.

We offer a full turnkey service — one contract, one team, from site assessment to opening day. This includes civil works, the certified court installation, lighting, fencing, landscaping, Playtomic booking setup, staff training and after-sales support. You can also engage us for court-only installation if you have your own civil contractor. We'll scope the engagement to match what you need — the key is that the court installation itself is always done by our certified team to the full MejorSet specification.
