What this article is for
This is not a marketing overview. It is a specification starter for architects, consultants, and project teams preparing padel court briefs in Indonesia using the live Datra Sports court-system range.
The current catalog gives a clear basis for three padel system levels: Starter, Pro, and Elite. Across those variants, the core project logic remains consistent: a 20 x 10 meter panoramic or super-panoramic court, synthetic turf playing surface, high-quality steel fencing, protective finishing, and full-system procurement rather than piecemeal sourcing.
Catalog-backed system scope visible on the current Datra Sports range
The live court range currently includes DS Padel Court Starter, DS Padel Court Pro, and DS Padel Court Elite. The current site data shows 20 x 10 meter court size across the range, panoramic / super-panoramic geometry, synthetic turf options, hot-dip galvanized fencing, and powder-coated metal finishing.
The Starter system is presented with an 80 x 80 millimeter corner frame. The Pro system is presented with a 100 x 100 millimeter corner frame. The Elite system is presented as a super-panoramic package. Each of those distinctions can be carried into project specification language as a basis-of-design reference.
- Court size in current catalog: 20 x 10 m
- System types in current catalog: Starter, Pro, Elite
- Current visible structural distinction: 80 x 80 mm and 100 x 100 mm corner-frame options, plus super-panoramic variant
- Current visible finish language: hot-dip galvanized steel fencing and powder-coated metal components
- Current visible playing-surface language: blue synthetic turf with optional colour variations
Copy-paste specification starter text for architects
Use the following as a starting clause and adapt it to project conditions, structural coordination, authority requirements, and final supplier submission drawings:
Provide complete padel court system, basis of design Datra Sports current panoramic / super-panoramic court range or approved equivalent, sized 20 x 10 meters for doubles play, including structural steel frame, perimeter fencing, glazing system where applicable, synthetic turf playing surface, accessories, protective finishes, and all components required for a complete installed court system.
Structural steel and metal components shall be finished for durability in Indonesian project conditions, with high-quality protective treatment including hot-dip galvanizing to fencing elements where specified in the basis-of-design system, and powder-coated exposed metal components where applicable in the product range.
Playing surface shall be synthetic turf suitable for padel use, with colour and final surface build-up coordinated to the approved system type. Final submission shall clearly identify system level, frame configuration, finish treatment, surface build-up, and installation assumptions.
System-schedule language architects can lift into the product schedule
A practical schedule note should distinguish the level of court system rather than leaving the contractor to infer everything from one generic line item. The live Datra Sports range supports that approach clearly.
- Padel Court System Type A: Starter panoramic system with 80 x 80 mm corner-frame reference, complete court package, 20 x 10 m.
- Padel Court System Type B: Pro panoramic system with 100 x 100 mm corner-frame reference, complete court package, 20 x 10 m.
- Padel Court System Type C: Elite super-panoramic system, complete court package, 20 x 10 m.
- Finish requirements to identify fencing protection, exposed-metal coating system, turf specification, and accessory scope in final submittal.
Architect coordination notes before issue to tender
The specification should not pretend the court kit is the whole project. Tender documents should also identify who owns civil readiness, slab tolerances, drainage, lighting, electrical coordination, freight handling, glazing coordination, and installer access.
That scope separation is one of the biggest differences between a court that looks clean in the document set and a court that actually gets delivered cleanly on site.
- Confirm slab level, tolerances, and drainage responsibilities
- Confirm lighting package and electrical interface by others or within supplier scope
- Confirm whether glazing and structural coordination require separate consultant review
- Confirm who carries freight, unloading, staging, and installation access responsibilities
- Require final supplier shop drawings and system submittal before fabrication approval
Performance, approval, and basis-of-design discipline
Architectural specifications work better when they separate visible catalog facts from final approval obligations. The current Datra Sports range gives a useful basis of design, but the issued specification should still require the nominated supplier to confirm final system drawings, structural logic, finish treatment, and installation prerequisites before approval.
In other words, the architect can responsibly write the system intent now, while still obligating the supplier to prove the exact delivered configuration later.
- Use the live Datra Sports range as basis of design, not as a substitute for final approved submittals
- Require supplier confirmation of exact system designation and court configuration
- Require final shop drawings, fixing points, glazing coordination, and installation logic before release for construction
- Require clear statement of exclusions and by-others scope in the submittal package
Suggested exclusions and responsibility wording
A strong architect brief also states what this package does not silently include. That protects both procurement quality and site coordination.
The exact split will vary by project, but the specification can still force the tenderers to declare the boundary instead of hiding it.
- Civil slab, below-surface drainage, and structural support by others unless explicitly included
- Project lighting, power reticulation, and switching controls by others unless explicitly included
- Authority approvals, local permits, and external engineering certification to be declared by responsible party
- Freight, unloading, cranage, and restricted-access installation assumptions to be stated clearly in the bid
What an architect should ask Datra Sports to submit
To turn the brief into a real specification package, the architect should ask for a disciplined submittal rather than a loose brochure set.
- Model and system type identification (Starter / Pro / Elite)
- Full technical data sheet or spec sheet link for the nominated system
- Shop drawings and fixing logic
- Finish and coating information
- Surface specification and colour options
- Installation assumptions, exclusions, and civil prerequisites

Once the buyer understands the decision frame, they should be routed into the right commercial surface, not left stranded in content.

What current Datra Sports court distinctions are visible in the catalog?
The live range currently shows Starter, Pro, and Elite court systems, with 20 x 10 meter geometry, panoramic / super-panoramic types, synthetic turf, and differentiated corner-frame references for Starter and Pro.
What should not be left vague in a padel court architectural spec?
System level, frame reference, protective finish, surface system, supply vs installation boundary, and civil / lighting / drainage responsibilities should not be left vague.
