How to Place a Dart Board

Installing a dart board in your home will add more entertainment activities that make a great addition to any party or gathering of friends and family. Placing a dartboard in your house should only take a few minutes and does not require much beyond planning where you have enough space for it. Most dart board sets come with all of the tools required for setting up and playing the game, which simplifies the set-up process.

Instructions

- 1
  Gather all of the materials that came with your new dart board to better organize the setup before installing the board. The dart board should also include a mounting bracket, which is how you will hang the dart board on your wall.
- 2
  Measure the location you want to hang the dart board. The area surrounding the playing area should be open and have adequate space for playing and surrounding objects and people. The space should be about 10 feet long and 5 feet wide for optimal, clear playing space. Avoid placing the dart board near windows as stray darts may cause issues.
- 3
  Mount the bracket for the dart board to your wall, with the center of the bracket at 5 feet 8 inches from the ground for traditional gaming regulations (or at any other height of your choice). Place the board over the bracket and complete the installation using your manual, which usually means screwing the dart board into the bracket.
- 4
  Place the throwing line 7 feet 9 and ¼ inches from the front of your dart board, not directly from the wall itself. This amount of space is abiding by traditional game play rules when throwing darts. However, you can change your throwing line depending on your own preferences if you prefer playing without the standard regulations.
