How can you protect your wall while playing darts You can protect your walls against darts by covering them with a dartboard cabinet or surround? Cabinets are great for protecting your walls and dartboards, as well as providing extra storage space when you’re not using them.
A Dartboard Cabinet
Dartboard cabinets are the best wall protection. It can protect your wall and dartboard. There are many other benefits to it. It can be decorative and hold your stuff. Your wall will be protected more if the cabinet is larger than it is. Most cabinets won’t provide wall protection. You will still be able to damage your board, although there will be some space between the boards.

It can be squeezed or cut to fit smaller cabinets. You can flip the surround over when you notice wear in any particular segment. This will not only prolong the life of your investment but also keeps it looking new for an as long time as possible. Viper Defender III has all the same features as Defender II, but with a longer bottom segment that protects the area below your board.
