Also known as: cricket sightscreen, batters sight screen
How big is it?
6 m wide
Also 19.69 ft
Defined screen width · defined specimen
Typical recorded range: 4 m to 8 m.

About the same scale as Badminton net frame.
Badminton net frame: The badminton net frame holds the net in place across the court using two upright posts, allowing players to hit the shuttlecock over it during a match.
Measurements, assumptions & sources +
Cricket sight screen
A defined mobile cricket sight screen 6 m wide and 6 m high. Cricket laws require suitable contrasting screens but do not prescribe one universal screen size; panel count, wheels and proportions vary.
The marked defined screen width is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
Badminton net frame
A badminton net frame defined by the 6.10 m doubles-court width and 1.55 m regulation post height. The portable bases and net sag are contextual and do not change those spans.
The marked regulation net width is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Why we use 6 m
For comparison, this page uses defined screen width. This is labelled defined specimen: an explicit comparison model rather than a claim that every example has the same value. The recorded range is 4 m to 8 m.
