      Choose a low-traffic area. You don't want people to walk in front of you when you're throwing a dart. Try to stay away from any fragile items. Remember, darts can bounce far off the board and hit nearby objects.

      Make sure the space between the throwing area is clear of obstacles. Sometimes people set up their dartboards so they have to throw over items, such as a coffee table. This can be incredibly distracting and difficult to walk around when you go to retrieve your darts from the board.

      Remember to factor in room for fellow players and spectators. They'll want to be comfortable and have a clear view of the board.

      Consider hanging the dartboard on some type of backboard that extends around the sides of the dartboard. If you have any inexperienced dart players, you're bound to get a dart stuck in your wall at some point. A backboard will protect your walls.

      Attach the dartboard at the correct height on the wall. You should measure 5 feet, 8 inches from the floor to the center of the dartboard.

      Measure your toe line. The toe line is the line that you stand behind when you throw a dart. It should be 7 feet, 9.25 inches away from the front of the dartboard. Use a piece of heavy tape to mark the toe line on the floor.
