A pickleball net has a specific height that is regulated by the official rules of the sport. The height of a pickleball net is 36 inches (91.44 cm) at the sidelines and 34 inches (86.36 cm) at the center. This height difference results from the net sagging slightly in the middle, which is intentional.
The net is typically made of a mesh material, with a white band or tape running along the top edge. The posts supporting the net should be placed outside the sidelines so that they do not interfere with gameplay. The net dimensions and height are consistent for both indoor and outdoor pickleball courts.
