Structural damage: This is when the darts cause damage to the structure of your home or business. This can include things like holes in walls, ceilings, or floors.

Position the wall protector: Press the wall protector against the wall, surrounding the dartboard. Ensure it adheres firmly and aligns properly with the dartboard and the cork board or foam board. Darts with magnetic tips will usually not damage your walls, although they might leave a mark or two on it.Hard materials can be slippery, causing darts to bounce off and potentially hit the floor or other objects. Secure the board: If needed, you can use small finishing nails or screws with washers to provide extra support. Place them at the corners or edges of the board to keep it securely in place. Wooden door: Old wooden or cabinet doors are another option to protect the walls from sharp darts. It will prevent darts from hitting the walls and catch the sharp points when they land on it. You can use an old wooden door or plywood sheet for this DIY.

Install the wall anchors: If your wall is made of drywall or a similar material, it’s essential to use wall anchors to provide extra support. Drill holes slightly smaller than the wall anchors, insert the anchors, and tap them gently into place with a hammer.I am sure you are already laughing, but when I was a kid, the only place I could hang my dartboard was on a concrete wall.

Below, I’ll cover the best ways to protect your wall and floor from darts. How to Protect Wall From Darts 1. Dartboard Surround The aim in darts is to be incredibly accurate and hit the treble or double with every throw. In reality, though, very few people in the world (<0.01%) have this level of accuracy. For the rest of us, for every 100 – 1,000 darts you throw, it’s inevitable that 1% – 2% will result in a bounce out or missing the board completely. When the cabinet is opened, it gives a dimension of 42″ L x 27.5″ W x 3.5″ D, and when the cabinet is closed, it measures 21″ L x 27.5″ W x 3.5″ D. The cabinet is crafted with box joint, bronze hinge, and solid pine. The Viper Metropolitan offers 4 woods finishing, which includes mahogany, Oak, Cinnamon, and Espresso. There is no doubt that missing shots are common and that they can significantly damage your wall. Sadly, it can create lots of holes, and dings that will look worse as time goes on. As the paint starts to chip off, your wall will look like crap.

Using a dartboard cabinet is the best way to protect your walls from darts. The bigger the dartboard, the more it covers the wall. If you miss the target, the dart will hit the cabinet keeping the walls safe. But mostly, when the darts hit the cabinet, they bounce off and hit the floor; thus, they can blunt the points or damage the floor. This simply means that each dart setup will need to be considered on an individual basis. There is no one size fits all dart protection system. But don’t panic!
