What the AI looks for in Dartboard Cabinets
- Board fit
- Should accept a regulation 17.75 in (451 mm) bristle board and allow it to be rotated Rotating the board spreads wear across segments.
- Mounting height
- Must let you set the bullseye at 5 ft 8 in (173 cm) Cabinets mount differently from bare boards, and the board's position inside the cabinet shifts the height.
- Backing and inner protection
- Interior should have protective backing around the board Darts that miss and hit bare wood mark the cabinet and blunt points.
- Scoreboards
- Chalk or dry-erase boards inside the doors This is a practical reason to choose a cabinet over a plain surround.
Brands that matter
- Viper: Large range of home cabinets in several finishes.
- Winmau: Cabinets designed around its boards.
- Unicorn: Cabinets and board bundles.
What to avoid
- Cabinets bundled with paper or stapled boards
- Cabinets without inner backing
Questions
Do cabinets protect the wall?
They protect the area they cover. Wide misses still need a surround or backboard.
