Sheet 501 · Padel clubs

Heat and cold, courtside

A sauna and a cold plunge for a padel club: on a trailer for a season, or built beside the courts to stay. A reason to stay after the match, from one team that designs, builds and installs it.

Sheet 502 · Two ways

For a season, or for good

The same heat and cold, two ways of putting it beside your courts.

502.1 · On a trailer

The sauna comes to the club

A long timber sauna and a cold plunge on a trailer, parked on your apron for a tournament weekend, a month, or a winter season. It needs a car-and-trailer route, level ground, power and water, and nothing is built.

Pitch it where the players already are: between the courts and the clubhouse, running from the last booking of the afternoon into the evening.

502.2 · Built to stay

A sauna and plunge beside the courts

A cabin or a glazed sauna for six, a plunge and a covered bench between them, drawn for the ground you have and built by the team that lays the base and fits the electrics.

A club is not a house, so the household planning rules do not apply and an application is usually needed. We draw for it, and the club's own planning history tells us how the council will read it.

What we will ask you

Every club is different, so the first conversation starts with these. You do not need every answer yet.

  1. 01How many courts, and how many players through the door in a week?
  2. 02Where would it sit: the apron, the car park edge, beside the clubhouse?
  3. 03Is there power close by, and three-phase or single?
  4. 04Is there water to fill a plunge, and somewhere for it to drain?
  5. 05What hours would it run, and who opens and closes it?
  6. 06Members only, or pay by the session?
