How Wide Is a Dartboard Surround? A Complete Guide
When setting up a dartboard, one crucial accessory to consider is the dartboard surround. This protective ring not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your setup but also plays a vital role in shielding your walls from stray darts. But exactly how wide is a dartboard surround? Let’s break it down.
Standard Width of a Dartboard Surround
A typical dartboard surround has an outer diameter of 67–70 cm (26.4–27.6 inches) and an inner diameter that snugly fits around a standard dartboard, which is 45 cm (17.75 inches) in diameter. This means the surround generally extends about 11–13 cm (4.3–5.1 inches) outward from the edge of the dartboard.
Different Types of Dartboard Surrounds and Their Widths
-
Foam Dartboard Surrounds – These lightweight, flexible surrounds typically have a width extension of 10–12 cm (4–5 inches). They are easy to install and provide solid protection for home setups.
-
Hard Rubber Dartboard Surrounds – Made from durable materials, these surrounds often measure around 12–13 cm (4.7–5.1 inches) in width, offering superior wall protection.
-
Wooden or Cabinet Dartboard Surrounds – These are larger setups that can extend up to 20 cm (8 inches) or more in width, depending on the design. They provide a premium look and added protection.

Choosing the Right Size for Your Needs
- Home use – A standard foam or rubber surround with a width of 11–13 cm should be sufficient.
- Bars & pubs – Opt for wider surrounds or cabinet-style setups for enhanced protection.
- Professional setups – Tournament-style surrounds, which conform to league regulations, usually feature a 5-inch (12.7 cm) width extension.
Conclusion
The width of a dartboard surround typically ranges from 10 to 20 cm (4 to 8 inches), depending on the type and level of protection needed. Choosing the right surround size ensures both your walls and your darts stay in good condition while maintaining a professional-looking setup.
