Create a destination padel facility that operates profitably year-round
Purpose-Built Covers for Padel's Explosive Growth
Padel is the UK's fastest-growing racquet sport, surpassing 1,000 courts in 2025 - but British weather threatens its momentum. Smart operators are installing covered courts to guarantee player satisfaction, maximise revenue, and establish market-leading positions.

Why Covered Padel Courts Win
Don't let British weather undermine your investment:
Seasonal drop-off in court usage during winter months
Rain on glass walls ruins gameplay and drives cancellations
75% of planned courts are now indoor or covered
Uncovered courts achieve only 50% utilisation year-round
But here’s what separates successful padel venues from the rest:
- £40-70 per hour court fees
- 24-36 month typical ROI
- Year-round player retention
- Consistent usage versus seasonal drop-off

Surrey Sports Park
I got involved in sports because I care about helping people be more active. And we do that at every level here. One moment, you might be watching a bunch of five-year-olds running around in the dome. Next, you'll see Joe Marler and three different England internationals stepping inside it. Steve Borthwick has been known to drop by and spectate. It's surreal. But it's fantastic too. We have it all under one winter dome. And we wouldn't have it any other way.
Thomas Pickering, Assistant Director of Sport
David Lloyd Clubs
Covair have supplied many domes to the David Lloyd group of leisure clubs over a number of years. There are currently 35 domes in operation around the UK, both seasonal and permanent. With this volume of sites involved it is crucial to have regular communication and a high level of support, which we have with Covair.
Julie Bingham, Capex Manager
Harpenden Lawn Tennis Club
Our tennis club purchased their first dome in 1988. We now have 3 Covair domes, which we use during the winter months. Our long-standing relationship with Covair has been very positive and they have always been on hand to help with any issues or concerns with our domes.
Wayne Lee, Grounds Secretary
The Grange Club
I remember being taken aback by how big it felt. From the outside, you don't expect that height or the space. Our outdoor courts have about two and a half metres behind the baseline. So, suddenly, you've got an extra three or four metres on top of that. It makes the whole space feel huge. It has a TARDIS-like quality.
Calum Meston, Head Coach
North Wales Netball
The dome provides a much-needed space in which we can grow junior netball and ensure that we have space for clubs and schools to train in the future. Typically we have to compete with five-a-side football bookings in sports halls, but having our own dedicated space will make a massive difference to the next generation of netballers in North Wales.
