Badminton nets are essential equipment used in the sport of badminton. They are typically made of durable nylon or polyester and are designed to withstand the impact of shuttlecocks. The standard height of a badminton net is 1.55 meters (5 feet 1 inch) at the center and 1.524 meters (5 feet) at the edges, ensuring a consistent playing experience. The net is stretched across the width of the court, dividing it into two equal halves. It is supported by a framework of poles, which are usually made of metal or lightweight materials. Proper installation and maintenance of badminton nets are crucial for fair play and safety during matches.
