Best Place to Hang a Dart Board<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Never hang a dart board next to a door, glass, or other fragile items to reduce the risk of injury. Find an open space such as the basement, game room, or outside in the backyard. The area should be at least 5 feet wide and 11 feet long. Darts can bounce over 8 feet from the bull\u2019s eye so make sure that you make the proper accommodations. To protect you wall, you can hang your dartboard on a piece of plywood that covers the surrounding wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flooring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Flooring have been a problematic area for dart players. Concrete, stone, and tile floors can break dart hubs and dull out the points. You don\u2019t want to throw darts on a wood, linoleum, or vinyl floors unless you plan on aerating your floor. Falling darts can puncture holes in these types of surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Hang a Dartboard on a Wall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Your dart board should have a bracket on the back of it to mount on the wall. Use a stud finder<\/a> to locate a stable place to hang your dartboard. Use wood screws<\/a> instead of nails because they are made to grip into the wood and provide a better hole. The threads in a screw will prevent any drooping, swaying, or falling of your dartboard. Make sure that your dartboard is flush with the wall and that it is not leaning in any direction.<\/p>\n\n\n Find a selection of electronic dartboards, dart board cabinets, and darting accessories by visiting the Game Tables Online<\/em><\/span> Dartboard<\/a> gallery.
