St. Louis Cardinals Black Dartboard Set

Because this set features a solid cabinet design, secure mounting is essential for both safety and performance. We recommend mounting the cabinet directly into a wall stud using heavy-duty hardware to support the combined weight of the cabinet and the impact of the darts. As customer assembly is required, we suggest using a level during the installation process to ensure the board sits perfectly flush, which is critical for accurate play and protecting your wall from stray darts.

While bristle boards are highly durable, they are sensitive to environmental moisture. In humid climates—common in coastal or southern regions—moisture can cause the natural sisal fibers to swell, potentially warping the board. While the protective cabinet provides a layer of defense against the elements, our expertise suggests placing the set in a temperature-controlled environment, like a finished basement or fan cave, to best preserve the "self-healing" properties of the fibers.

A cabinet set is an ideal choice for multi-purpose rooms or shared living spaces. Beyond the aesthetic appeal of the team logo, the cabinet doors serve as a built-in wall protector, catching many of the stray darts that might otherwise damage your drywall. Additionally, the cabinet allows you to neatly conceal the board and store your darts when not in use, keeping your space organized and protecting the equipment from dust.

To ensure even wear and prevent "soft spots," our experts recommend regularly rotating the outer number ring so that high-traffic sections, like the "20," are moved. You should never use water or cleaning liquids on a bristle board, as moisture will permanently damage the natural sisal fibers. Instead, simply brush away surface dust with a soft, dry cloth to keep the board in peak condition for years of enjoyment.

This tournament-sized 18-inch board is crafted from high-quality bristle (sisal) fibers. Unlike paper boards that sustain permanent damage from every throw, these natural fibers allow the darts to slide between them rather than piercing the surface. Once the dart is removed, the fibers' natural elasticity allows them to "heal" and close the hole. This professional-grade construction significantly increases the board's durability and provides a consistent playing surface over time.

To create an authentic tournament-style setup in your home, you should follow official regulation standards. The board should be mounted so that the center of the bullseye is exactly 5 feet 8 inches from the floor. For the throwing distance (the oche), players should stand 7 feet 9 ¼ inches away from the face of the board. Adhering to these measurements ensures a professional-level experience for competitive or casual play.
