Net

The net divides the padel court into two equal halves and must meet precise FIP specifications. See court dimensions for the overall court layout and faults and lets for rules on balls that hit the net during serve and play.

Height Requirements

• Center height: 88cm (34.65 in)
• Side height: 92cm (36.22 in)
• Maximum tolerance: 5mm (0.2 in)

Post Extensions

The net posts have a maximum height of 1.05m (41.34 in). The outer side of the posts must coincide with the lateral limits of the court. Posts may be circular or square but must have rounded edges.

Net Strip Details

• Mandatory white strip at the top: 5 to 6.3 cm (1.97 to 2.48 in)
• An additional advertising strip of any colour may be added beneath the white strip
• The combined white and advertising strip cannot exceed 11.0 cm in total height
• Tension cable maximum diameter: 1cm (0.39 in), running beneath the white strip

Material Specifications

The netting should consist of synthetic fiber, with a weave tight enough to ensure the ball cannot penetrate it.
