One of the risks involved in darts is a damaged wall. Especially for beginning darters, a dart can sometimes work its way off the board, leaving an unintentional relief in the wall. Nowadays there is a solution for this as well: the dartboard surround!
What is a dartboard surround?
A dartboard surround, or dartboard ring, is a ring-shaped protective plate. As the word dart surround implies, you place it around your dartboard. Just like with a dartboard with backboard or other dart wall protection, any darts you miss while darting are then caught by this dart board protection instead of by your wall. Except, unlike a dart board backboard, a surround is made of a softer material that holds on to the darts and doesn't make a loud noise when you hit it. Only the extreme outliers will sometimes pass the dart surround ring, but a good darter knows how to get them inside the edges of the dartboard surround. So while it is not a guarantee for an undamaged wall, it certainly does help!
Popular surrounds
Our best-selling dartboard surrounds and dartboard protection include our own Dartshopper Surround and the Winmau surround. These are both one-piece surrounds. In addition to these types of surrounds, there are also dart surrounds that consist of multiple parts, such as the KOTO 4pcs. Surround. This consists of four pieces that you simply slide together. Once put together, they form your new dart board protector. For the most enthusiastic darts players there's even the dartboard light surround, which combines dartboard light and a dartboard surround in one simple surround!
