About Dartboards

There are a few considerations which need to be borne in mind before you rush off and invest in a new dartboard, but once you have considered these, there are many excellent boards to choose from at very reasonable prices. The most important thing you need to consider is safety. A dart is a sharp instrument which can do a lot of serious damage in the wrong hands, so be very careful who has access to the equipment.
It is also important to establish right at the start whether or not you really have enough room to have a dart board installed. It is not just a case of measuring the necessary distance between the wall and the line from which the dart will need to be thrown. There needs to be enough room behind this line for the player to feel comfortable in their stance when throwing the dart.
Dart boards come in many different types and price ranges, and are made of different materials. It is best to avoid the absolute cheapest dart boards, as they are not made of bristle. Dart boards which are not made of bristle do tend to wear out more easily and more often, so if you are going to be playing a lot of darts it is a false economy anyway. The dart will not stick into the surface as well, and areas of the board can easily become damaged from excess wear. Other than the consideration of the material used in the manufacture of the dart board, there is no real reason to choose anything more expensive than the basic model.
