Growing Your Sports Facilities in 2026? Temporary Structures Make It Easy.

Uncovered padel courts are outdoor installations with no roof or enclosure. They are commonly found at leisure centres, sports clubs, parks and pop-up sites, particularly where operators are testing demand.

Their appeal is clear. Outdoor courts typically involve a lower upfront investment, can be installed quickly and are well-suited to seasonal or trial use. For many sites, they provide a straightforward way to introduce padel with minimal initial risk.

However, in the UK climate, uncovered courts are heavily influenced by the weather. Rain, wind, cold temperatures and low light levels can all reduce court availability, shorten playing seasons and lead to cancelled bookings. Over time, this can limit utilisation and make it harder to generate consistent revenue or run leagues, coaching programmes and events.

Across the UK, demand for sport and leisure space is growing whether it’s increased participation in padel, demand for indoor tennis, community football training or multi-use hall space. Clubs and operators want to:

• Maximise use of existing land
• Extend operating seasons
• Support events, leagues and coaching
• Deliver all-weather facilities
• Keep costs under control

Traditional construction can take months or even years, tying up capital and delaying your growth plans. Temporary structures, by contrast, can be installed quickly, tailored to specific needs, and scaled or moved as demand changes. 

Temporary sports structures are modular or semi-permanent buildings that deliver covered, usable space for a wide range of sport and leisure activities. They can be installed from as little as a few weeks, and despite being ‘temporary’ they are engineered to meet building standards and handle real operational use. 

Spaciotempo’s sports portfolio includes:

• Temporary sports halls with full enclosures and specialist flooring
• Covered padel and tennis courts
• Indoor gyms and training facilities
• Swimming pool enclosures
• Changing rooms, reception spaces and support facilities
• Spectator grandstands and integrated accessory areas

These structures can be adapted to suit almost any sport, usage pattern or site constraint, making them ideal for ambitious facility growth. 

Speed of Delivery

One of the biggest advantages of temporary sports buildings is how quickly they can be up and running. Spaciotempo can deliver fully functioning sport spaces far faster than traditional build programmes, helping you start generating bookings (and revenue) sooner. 

Lower Upfront Cost

Temporary and semi-permanent structures typically cost significantly less than permanent buildings because they reduce groundworks, steelwork and lengthy labour costs. This makes them a budget-friendly way to add high-value space. 

Flexibility and Scalability

Spaciotempo buildings are modular: you can configure the layout to match your sport, site and growth plans, and you can extend, relocate or repurpose them as needs evolve. Whether that’s expanding a hall or adding support spaces like changing rooms or offices, modular design gives you options. 

 All-Weather Sports Space

With options for full walling, insulation, HVAC and lighting, you can create comfortable, all-season indoor sports environments that encourage more bookings, fewer cancellations and a better user experience. 

Customisation for your Sport

From specialist flooring for racquet sports to spectator seating and multi-use zones, Spaciotempo can deliver bespoke fit-outs that match your operational goals whether that’s club training, community events or professional competitions.

One of the strengths of Spaciotempo’s approach is the flexibility of how you pay for and deploy your new facility:

Hire (Short-Term or Long-Term)

Perfect if you want space quickly without a long-term commitment. This is ideal for testing demand, seasonal sport growth or temporary events. Hire options start at as little as 3 months, giving you agility without heavy capital spend.

 Buy (Outright Ownership)

For organisations with long-term plans, buying a temporary building gives full ownership and complete customisation, turning it into a valuable asset for your facility. 

Finance (Spread the Cost)

You can also finance your structure, keeping cash flow healthy while securing long-term space which makes high-impact projects more accessible without large upfront payments. 

Whatever route you choose, the inherent flexibility of temporary buildings means you can match your investment strategy to your growth plans, without over-committing before demand is proven.

Padel & Racket Sports

Build all-weather covered courts to support year-round play, leagues and coaching programmes without slow permanent construction. 

Multi-Sport Halls & Training Facilities

Create indoor space for football training, netball, badminton, basketball, gym classes and more. Modular layouts mean one space can serve multiple sports. 

Temporary Pool Enclosures

Extend your swim season or protect pool facilities during renovations with bespoke building solutions. 

Support / Ancillary Spaces

Add changing rooms, offices, reception areas or spectator zones to enrich the overall facility experience.

From single padel courts to large multi-court halls, Spaciotempo has delivered solutions across the UK for sports and leisure operators. Some projects like temporary sports complexes that include gyms, squash courts and dance studios demonstrate that temporary structures can handle significant operational demands while construction takes place elsewhere. 

Expanding your sports facility doesn’t need to be slow, expensive or risky. Temporary sports structures from Spaciotempo provide a flexible, cost-effective and rapid way to add high-value space that meets the needs of players, members and organisers alike.

Whether it’s padel, multi-sport halls, training facilities, pool spaces or ancillary support areas, these buildings help you stay responsive to demand, reduce weather-related disruption and accelerate growth in 2026 and beyond.
