The design of a badminton court includes dimensions, surface materials, lighting, and other specifications to ensure fair play and player safety. The standard court size is 13.4 meters long by 6.1 meters wide, with a net height of 1.55 meters at the center. The court is typically made of a smooth, hard surface such as wood, synthetic materials, or concrete, with appropriate ball bounce characteristics. Proper lighting is essential to avoid glare and ensure visibility.
