Badminton Courts

Plan around lunges, recovery steps, net placement and an unobstructed shuttle path.

Space for Footwork, Lunges and Recovery

Make room for quick lunges, recovery steps and a clear view of the shuttle. Whether you’re planning a dedicated practice area or badminton lines on a shared court, start with the space and the way it will be used.

Lunges and recovery

Use badminton footwear when comparing samples. Pay attention to surface texture, joints and the feel of forward lunges and recovery steps.

Shuttle visibility and air movement

Review lighting, background contrast, overhead obstacles and air movement with the venue planner. Outdoor wind and an indoor hall create very different playing conditions.

A clear net setup

Confirm singles and doubles markings and the position of net posts and their bases. Store equipment for other sports away from the court and its circulation areas.

BWF court and net reference

Dimensions below are length × width unless stated otherwise. Playing lines and the total usable footprint are different measurements.

Court lines: 40 mm wide
BWF Law 1 specifies easily distinguishable lines; lines form part of the area they define.
Net height at the center: 1.524 m
Measured from the court surface to the top of the net.
Net height at doubles sidelines: 1.55 m
Post positioning must also follow the official court layout.

Distinct line colors make badminton markings easier to follow on shared floors. Multi-court layouts also need clear access routes and space for net bases.

Discuss a Flooring Sample

Surface texture and joint feel matter during lunges and recovery steps. Sample consultations cover dedicated badminton spaces and shared recreational floors.
