The official badminton court size is 13.40 m long and 6.10 m wide for doubles, narrowing to 5.18 m for singles, with the net at 1.55 m. This guide gives every measurement that matters — court length and width, net height, service lines and tramlines — explains the singles-versus-doubles boundary switch that confuses everyone, and shows how much space you actually need to fit a court at home or in a hall, all with a clear labelled diagram.
The regulation badminton net is 1.55 m high at the posts and 1.524 m at the centre — and setting up a court at home is mostly about space, not just the net. This guide gives you the exact net heights, the full court dimensions, how much clearance you really need around it, what surface works, and a realistic take on whether a proper home court fits your garden or whether a casual setup is the smarter call.
