Installation Guide

Your 180DartDesigns backboard is made from lightweight 5mm Foamex, so it's quick and easy to put up. Here's how we recommend mounting it.

What you'll need

• Good quality double-sided mounting tape
• Tape measure and pencil
• Drill and the right drill bit for your wall
• Your dartboard bracket and fixings
• Optional: screws and screw caps

Recommended method: double-sided tape and your dartboard bracket

1. Apply the tape. Put a strip of good quality double-sided tape around all the edges on the back of the backboard, then add one strip down the centre.
2. Position the backboard. Peel off the backing, line the backboard up where you want it on the wall and press it firmly into place.
3. Mark your bracket holes. For a new setup, mark where your dartboard bracket goes. If you're putting the board back up in the same spot, use a tape measure to find your existing holes and mark them on the backboard.
4. Drill through. Drill your bracket holes through the backboard and into the wall.
5. Fix the bracket. Screw your dartboard bracket to the wall through the backboard. Once the bracket is fixed, it locks everything securely into place.
6. Hang your dartboard and you're ready to throw.

Alternative method: screws with screw caps

You can also fix the backboard straight to the wall with screws. Use screw caps to cover the screw heads and keep the finish clean.

Tips

• Make sure the wall is clean, dry and dust-free before you apply the tape.
• Check for hidden pipes and cables before you drill.
• Use the right wall plugs and fixings for your wall type.
