A high-quality mesh fencing system can still experience performance issues if installation is not carried out correctly. In many padel court projects, structural problems are often caused by installation errors rather than material defects.
One of the most common mistakes is incorrect post alignment.
If steel posts are not installed vertically or positioned accurately, mesh panels may be forced into place during assembly. This can create unnecessary stress on the structure and affect the alignment of both the fencing and glass panels.
Other common installation mistakes include:
• Insufficient foundation depth
• Improper anchor bolt positioning
• Incorrect panel spacing
• Uneven concrete surfaces
• Over-tightened connections
In one European club project, installers failed to verify foundation levels before assembly. As a result, several mesh panels required adjustment during installation, increasing labor costs and delaying project completion.
Professional installers typically recommend:
• Checking foundation dimensions before installation
• Verifying post alignment with laser measurements
• Following manufacturer assembly drawings
• Using proper torque settings for fasteners
• Inspecting all connections before final completion
Proper installation is essential for ensuring structural stability, safety, and long-term performance.
