Step 1
Measure space for a doubles-play standard court, defined by the International Badminton Federation as a rectangle 44 feet long and 20 feet wide.
-
Step 2
Narrow the court width from 20 feet to 17 feet for singles-only play.
-
Step 3
Mark the borders, or sidelines, of the court with paint or chalk. Lines should be about 1 3/4 inches wide.
-
Step 4
Use cones or natural boundaries such as trees to mark the perimeter for a casual setup.
-
Step 5
Tie the ends of the net to posts positioned at the sidelines. The net should divide the length of the court evenly.
-
Step 6
Hang the net so its top is approximately 5 feet from the playing surface at the center of the court and 5 feet 1 inch above the surface at the sidelines.
-
Step 7
Measure and mark short service lines for singles play. These lines should be parallel to the net, approximately 15 1/2 feet from the back boundary lines.
-
Step 8
Measure and mark long service lines for doubles play. These lines are parallel to the net, approximately 2 1/2 feet from the back boundary lines.
-
Step 9
Measure and mark center lines that extend from both short service lines to both back boundary lines.
