Summer Garden Games
Badminton is perfect garden entertainment - all ages can play, no special surface needed. But a saggy net at the wrong height ruins the game. Proper setup makes it actually enjoyable.
💡 Pro tip: Find the flattest area of your lawn. Badminton on a slope is frustrating - the shuttlecock always drifts downhill.

🔧 DIY Tips
Setting up yourself? Here's what works:
🔧 What you'll need
- The net system
- Mallet (for ground stakes)
- Tape measure
- Possibly pegs/guy ropes
📐 Proper setup
- Find the flattest area of lawn
- Allow clearance around the court
- Assemble poles according to instructions
- Set net height (5 feet at edges, 5 feet at centre)
- Tension net to remove sag
- Secure posts/stakes
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Net too high or low
- Saggy net in the middle
- Posts that fall over
- Playing area too close to obstacles
💡 Pro trick: The net should be 5 feet (1.55m) high at the edges and slightly lower (5 feet / 1.524m) at the centre. Most people set it too high.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of badminton nets do you set up?
Both portable (freestanding) and permanent (ground-fixed) nets. Portable nets need proper tensioning, permanent nets need proper installation into ground.
Can you set it up on a lawn?
Yes - most garden badminton is on grass. We position on the flattest area and ensure the posts are stable in soft ground.
What about storing it for winter?
Portable nets can come down easily for storage. We can show you how to take it down and set it back up.
Is this really worth a callout?
On its own, probably only if you're struggling with a fiddly system. But if we're doing other work anyway, happy to help.
