University of Nebraska Black Dartboard Set

This set features a professional 18-inch tournament-sized dartboard constructed from premium bristle, also known as sisal fiber. This material is the gold standard for durability because of its "self-healing" properties; when a dart is removed, the dense fibers naturally slide back into place to close the hole. This prevents the surface from drying out or developing permanent pockmarks, ensuring the board lasts significantly longer than paper or plastic alternatives.

Based on our expertise with high-quality sisal, the most important maintenance step is to regularly rotate the metal number ring. This ensures that high-traffic areas like the "20" segment don't wear out prematurely. Additionally, you should never use water or liquids to clean the board; moisture can cause the natural fibers to swell and warp, which will ruin the playing surface.

This dartboard is an excellent addition to a "fan cave," whether it's in a basement or a garage. However, because sisal is a natural fiber, it can be sensitive to extreme humidity or moisture. If you live in a particularly humid climate, we recommend keeping the cabinet doors closed when the board is not in use to provide an extra barrier against the elements and help preserve the integrity of the fibers.

Beyond the aesthetic appeal of the team logo, the cabinet serves as a critical protective barrier. Measuring 19.75 inches wide and 21.5 inches high, the solid backing and open doors provide a wide safety zone that captures stray darts before they can damage your drywall. This makes it a much safer option for shared living spaces or high-traffic game rooms compared to a standalone board.

This set is designed for a streamlined setup. The hanging cabinet arrives preassembled and is ready to be mounted directly to your wall. You only need to secure the 18-inch bristle board within the cabinet to begin playing. Its compact 3.5-inch depth ensures it maintains a low profile, making it a great fit even for smaller rooms or hallways.

To replicate a professional tournament environment in your home, the dartboard should be mounted so the center of the bullseye is exactly 5 feet 8 inches from the floor. For the throwing distance, the front of the board should be 7 feet 9 ¼ inches from the "oche" or toe line. Following these precise measurements is essential for anyone looking to transition their skills from a home practice space to a competitive setting.
