![]() Disc Mount Hanging KitsĪnother option for mounting your dartboard is the disc mount hanging kit. Here’s a simple demonstration of mounting with basic metal handing brackets. Tightening the screw the right amount should prevent the board from moving or spinning. If there is more than a little movement, try to tighten the center screw on the board and then slide it back into the bracket. It should fit snugly against the backing surface with minimal if any movement. You then simply slide the board with the screw fitting into the U shaped slot. We want to make sure that the center of the dartboard is at this exact height. That is where the screw on the back of the board will sit. The bracket should be measured out so the bottom of the U-slot sits at 5 feet 8 inches high. ![]() The U-bracket is then screwed into the wall or backing surface. Just spread them out evenly on the back of the dartboard. There’s no exact location for the spring clips. The spring clips should then be spaced out and installed to the back of the dartboard. The center screw is screwed directly into the back of the dartboard at dead center. This includes a center screw, U-shaped hanging bracket, and three spring clips for leveling the dartboard against the wall or backing surface. Hanging the Dartboard with a U-Shaped Metal Bracket Typical Dartboard Hanging Kit with U-shaped Bracketĭartboards usually come with a basic metal hanger kit. If you do use anchors, make sure they are heavy duty metal hangers with significant weight capacity. This weight combined with the force of pulling darts from the board on a regular basis makes using anchors in a dry wall seem pretty risky. I don’t recommend doing this.Ī high quality bristle dartboard is at least 10 lbs. Some people use heavy duty anchor screws to mount into drywall. If you do mount directly on your wall, make sure you’re mounting into wood or concrete. I’ll discuss options for backing surfaces in more detail below. The backing surface is optional but highly recommended versus mounting the board directly on a wall. Dartboard Setup: How to Mount Your Dart BoardĪ dartboard should be mounted flush against a backing surface. If you don’t have someone to help you, using the horizontal approach with the correct measurements should yield the same results. Have that person hold a tape measure at the center of the double bulls eye and measure out diagonally to 9 feet 7 ⅜ inches (2.37 meters). $39.37 Buy Now on Amazon Affiliate link / commissions earned ( read disclosure) Diagonal Distance to the Throwing LineĪnother way to determine the throwing line distance from the face of the dartboard is to take a diagonal measurement. If you also know the thickness of your backing surface, you could easily estimate where to measure the throwing line distance from. Note: The distance is not measured from the wall.Ī standard 18″ dartboard is approximately 1 ½” thick. The official distance to the throwing line is 7 feet 9 ¼ inches (2.37 meters) from the face of the dartboard. ![]() This is the internationally recognized official dartboard height for steel tip as well as soft tipped darts.Īs you’ll see, I recommend mounting the board at the correct height before measuring out to the throwing line (more details about how to mount the dartboard below). The height from the floor to the center of the dartboard (the bulls eye) must be 5 feet 8 inches (1.73 meters). You should pick an area with plenty of space to allow for these measurements, plus some extra space to create a safe and comfortable darting environment. What are Official Dartboard Hanging Measurements?įirst thing’s first: before you start planning your wall decorations or custom dartboard surround, you need to know the correct dartboard hanging measurements.
