Cabinet or surround?
A surround is a foam ring that catches the darts that just miss the board. It costs little, needs no extra fixings and leaves the board on show. A cabinet adds a backboard and two doors with scoreboards, protects a wider area of wall and closes the board away when you are done. Both work with a ring light and an oche mat. Our comparison goes through space, protection and looks.

Buying advice
Dartboard cabinet or surround: which one do you need?
Dartboard cabinet or surround? How much wall each protects, the space they need, scoreboards, lights and camera kits, and which suits your room and players.

Setup
Dartboard height and oche distance: the official measurements
Dartboard height is 1.73 m to the centre of the bull, the oche 2.37 m from the face of the board. How to measure both at home, with the 2.93 m diagonal check.
Frequently asked questions
How high should a dartboard be?
The centre of the bull goes 1.73 m (5 ft 8 in) above the floor, and the throw line sits 2.37 m (7 ft 9 1/4 in) from the face of the board. These are the World Darts Federation measurements. Our guide Dartboard height and oche distance shows how to measure both.
Can I hang a dartboard on a plasterboard wall?
Yes, if the fixings go into the timber or metal studs behind the plasterboard, or if you use cavity fixings rated for the weight of the board and cabinet. Darts hitting the board put repeated force on the fixings, so plain plastic plugs in plasterboard are not enough.
Do I need a cabinet or is a surround enough?
A surround catches near misses and is enough for most experienced players. If beginners or children play, or the wall behind the board matters to you, a cabinet with a backboard protects a wider area. See Dartboard cabinet or surround.
