Badminton Court
The lines for both singles and doubles are drawn usually at the same court and the lines are followed according to the game played on that badminton court; either single or double. Badminton is actually a close door game because of the light weight shuttle used in it, it can’t be played outdoor therefore the badminton courts are built indoor.
Also building of the badminton court is done on the concrete to provide the players a better grip while playing.
A five feet space is left on all sides of the court so that players can have a little room while playing. Size of the badminton court for singles is 17 feet by 44 feet while the size for the doubles is 20 feet by 44 feet.
As discussed earlier that the badminton court size for both the singles and doubles are different. The court used for the doubles is wider than that of singles court. You should take a look at Badminton court diagrams for both the singles and doubles along with some pictures of badminton courts before you start building your own badminton court.
Following are the badminton court measurements. The width of doubles court is 20 feet while the singles width of the court is 17 feet. The length of the whole court is 44 feet. A line divides the service courts into two and there is another line of 6.5 feet from the net perpendicular to the line dividing the service courts. Also in the doubles court, there is a back gallery of 2 feet and six inches at the back of the court which restricts the service court to be a bit shorter. Badminton net is five feet and one inch at the edges and it is full five feet at the middle. Badminton is an indoor game but there is no rule which defines the roof height over a badminton court. The lines to make a badminton court are drawn either of white or a yellow color. Badminton net is usually 6.1 meters wide and is of a dark color, usually black so that it may not affect the visibility of the shuttle. A little top part of the net is made of a white cloth.

The above badminton court measurement shows that badminton is a sport that does not require a very waste space or a huge ground. The size of badminton court is just 20 X 44 feet. This means that you can also turn your backyard into a badminton court by lining the floor carefully by looking at any badminton court diagram.
Building badminton court is very inexpensive as compared to other sports whose grounds are prepared by lots of efforts and resources. Also a badminton court does not need any repairing or restructuring as it is merely a few lines on the ground therefore an old badminton court is as good as a new one.
Let’s review all the things involved in a badminton court as a final word. The first thing is the court dimensions which are 20 feet by 44 feet. The next thing is the net line which is placed at the exact middle of the court then the short service line which is approximately seven feet from the net line towards the service court. Then there is the center line which bisects one side of the court into two and the side and back galleries and at last there is net which is placed in the middle of the court.
