Badminton is now one of the leading sports all over the world. If you want to know about this sport you must know about the badminton court.

This is the basic knowledge of badminton. In this article, we will discuss different aspects of the court to play badminton. We will also talk about the business of badminton courts. Let’s start with court dimensions.

What are the Dimensions of a Badminton Court e in Feet?

According to the rules established by the Badminton World Federation (BWF), a regular badminton court’s length, 13.40m (44 feet), applies to both sorts of competitions. However, the breadth varies, with the singles court being 5.18 m (17 ft) wide and indicated by sidelines, while the doubles court is 6.1 m (20 ft) wide and designated by doubles sidelines. The total court’s diagonal length is 14.723 meters.

The service areas are further vertically divided down the middle of the two playing zones on either side of the net. The four service courts on a badminton court, each measuring 3.88 m (12.72 ft) long by 2.53 m (8.3 ft), are each of these dimensions.

The court has two service lines that are designated for this purpose, the short service line, which is 1.98 meters (6.5 feet) from the net, and the long service line, which is 0.72 meters (2.36 feet) from the baseline.

The service in singles must extend past the short service line and stay inside the boundary lines. The long service line serves as the backcourt marker in the doubles match even though the service should be beyond the short service line. This indicates that the serving length is shorter in doubles.

How to start a badminton court business

First of all, you have to select where you are going to start the business. As per my experience, the sales of badminton courts will be more in Asian countries, especially in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and India. 

If you have a place so you can establish a badminton court. After establishing the area for play you can start your private academy.

But for this purpose indoor badminton court will be considerable. You can also do business by badminton court rental.

The issue with an outdoor ground is that when you are playing you have to face wind issues and the distraction of others.

Lighting Design

The court must have a reasonable light to play. The lighting in the court depends upon the architecture of the court. It is preferred if the lights of the court are on the roof. Lights must be LED lights. 

LED high bay light and LED linear high bay light If the badminton players playing an international match then the hosting country must follow the rules of BWF regarding lights.

It will be awkward if Lei Chong Wie and Lin Dan play a final match and they complain about the lights on the court are not enough. Just imagine.

So lights are very important in the playing area.
