Starting from a bare wall? A complete setup saves you from matching parts that do not fit together. The board, the wall protection, the light and the throw line are chosen to work as one, sized for a standard bristle board.

Wall-mounted or free-standing?

  • Wall-mounted setups (cabinet or surround, light and mat) are the most solid choice for a room where the board can stay. The board hangs at a fixed 1.73 m and does not move when darts land.
  • Free-standing stands carry the board, a surround and often a light on a frame or tripod. They suit rented homes, garages and rooms where you cannot drill, and they fold away. Choose a stand with a wide, stable base and set it to the regulation height.

What a complete setup should include

A bristle board, protection for the wall around it, a light that removes shadows and a clear throw line at 2.37 m. Darts are personal, so many players bring their own. Our checklist in How to set up a dartboard at home goes through each step, and A home darts setup on a budget shows where to spend and where to save.

Plenty of setups go up in December and January, while the World Darts Championship is on at Alexandra Palace. The 2026/27 tournament runs from 11 December 2026 to 3 January 2027.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need for a complete home darts setup?

A bristle board, a surround or cabinet to protect the wall, a light that removes shadows from the board, an oche mat or throw line at 2.37 m, and darts. The board goes 1.73 m from the floor to the centre of the bull.

Is a dartboard stand stable enough for steel-tip darts?

A good stand is, as long as it has a wide base and stands on a level floor. Set the board to 1.73 m, keep the legs fully opened and avoid placing it where people walk behind it.

How much room do I need for a darts setup?

Allow about 3 m from the wall to behind the throw line and roughly a metre of clear space either side of the board. The regulation throw is 2.37 m from the face of the board, and you need space to stand behind the line.
