The badminton court is rectangular in shape, and has different dimensions for singles and doubles.
Standard Dimensions
The full doubles court has a measurement of 13.4m (44′ 0″) by 6.1m (20’0″):
Badminton net
The badminton net goes across the middle and is 1.52m (5′ 0″) high at the middle and 1.55m (5’1″) high at the posts.
The net is made of dark fine cord and is 76cm (2’6″) in depth.
The line that you must stand behind when you serve is called the short service line and it is 1.98m (6′ 6″) from the net.
Singles court measurement
The singles court only makes use of the shaded area:
The area not shaded above is called the ‘tramlines’.
In singles the long service line is the very back line of the court, parallel to the net. In doubles this is the line 76cm (2′ 6″) nearer the net. The area between these two lines in called the back tramlines.
The line perpendicular to the net that bisects the court is called the centre line, and the outer edges of the side tramlines are called the sidelines.
Badminton lines
Each line is part of the court, so that if the base of the shuttle touches any part of a line, it is considered as being ‘in’, ie having landed within the area of the court.
The lines need to be easily distinguishable, usually white or yellow in colour.
They are 4cm (1.5″) wide.
Sometimes you will find two short lines either side of the long service line for doubles. These are what the shuttle should land between when being tested from the opposing back line.
Some questions from me:
1. What is the minimum distance between two badminton court?
2. What is the minimum distance to the wall beside the line?
3. What is the minimum distance line back to the wall?
thank you
Hi Krisna,
Thanks for the questions!
The BWF say that there should be at least 2 metres surrounding all the outer lines of the badminton court. So this would mean 2 metres between each court and to any walls around the edge.
This is only a recommendation though, rather than a law. You can read more details here:

Hope that helps!

Is it possible to project the lines of a badminton court from an overhead projector onto a community hall floor? The floor is relatively new and hosts a number of private functions, weddings etc. and the management would rather not have permanent taped lines stuck on the floor.
Where could we obtain such a projector.
It can be very difficult to find ideal location for the projector, even with more than one projector. Players will cast shadows. There will be gaps in lines seemed by other players
