Question

Height of the poles from the floor is ______.

Answer 1

Height of the poles from the floor is 1.55 m high.

Explanation:

Height of the poles from the floor is 1.55 meters. According to the official Badminton World Federation (BWF) guidelines, the net posts (poles) must stand exactly 1.55 meters (5 feet 1 inch) tall from the surface of the court. They are placed directly on the outer doubles sidelines, regardless of whether a singles or doubles match is being played. While the poles hold the net firmly at 1.55 meters at the edges, the natural tension allows the net to sag slightly down to exactly 1.524 meters (5 feet) at the center of the court.
