The Best Portable Badminton Nets To Take To The Beach, Park, Or Backyard BBQ

Badminton is unique in that it’s simultaneously associated with leisurely backyard play and intense rallies between Olympic-caliber athletes. Even if you’re not quite an Olympian, badminton is appealing because it can be played almost anywhere. The rules are fairly straightforward, too.

Where similar sports like tennis and racquetball require a court, badminton can be played in the park, on the beach, or on your own lawn. Part of the portability is owed to the fact that rackets and shuttlecocks are very lightweight. But the real benefit is that there are many nets on the market that are designed to be portable.

If you already have the rackets and shuttlecock but still don’t have a net, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite portable nets. They include options that are height adjustable and feature fold-out legs, so you don’t have to worry about needing to hammer in spikes.
