Dartboard surrounds to protect your wall
A surround is a ring that fits around the board and catches the darts that land just outside the double. It is the simplest way to protect plaster and to stop bounce-outs from blunting or bending your points.

How a surround works
Most surrounds come in several pieces that clip together around the board and are held in place by the board itself, so there is nothing extra to drill. The ring is made from dense foam or rubber that takes a dart without damaging it. Because the surround sits flush around the board, the face of the board stays where it was and your throw distance does not change.
Is a surround enough?
A surround catches near misses. A beginner, a child or a guest after a few drinks will sometimes miss by more than that, so for a painted wall or a room you care about, combine the surround with a backboard behind it or choose a cabinet instead. The guide Dartboard cabinet or surround compares the options.
Surround and light together
Many LED ring lights fix to the board bracket and sit just outside the number ring, so they can be combined with a surround. Check the inner diameter of the light and the shape of the surround before you buy both.
Frequently asked questions
Does a surround fit any dartboard?
Surrounds are made for standard 451 mm bristle boards, which covers nearly every steel-tip board. They do not fit electronic boards, which have their own housing.
Do I have to drill extra holes for a surround?
Usually not. Most surrounds clip together around the board and are held in place by it, so the board bracket is the only fixing in the wall.
Will a surround protect my wall completely?
No. It catches darts that land just outside the board. Wider misses still reach the wall, so add a backboard or choose a cabinet if the wall behind the board matters to you.
