It's quite literally impossible to play darts without a board. Having just any board isn't enough, as cheap-material boards tend to degrade faster, leaving behind a board with bent wires and a lot of wear and tear.

You'll want to get a board that can last long for casual as well as avid players. Target's 'TOR Dartboard' is a great, durable option.

Features include:

  • Self-healing properties
  • 215-MDG premium Madagascan sisal
  • Durable stainless-steel low-profile wiring system , which reduces bounce-outs
  • Peak-Fix lock and level system, which provides secure mounting on any surface

Surround

The Target Pro Tour Surround has been specifically developed to offer the best protection from stray darts whilst embodying Target's distinctive design aesthetic.

Not every darts player is accurate, so you'll need a foam surrounding to put around your dartboard.

Target's 'Pro Tour Surround' will protect your wall and give your setup a clean/aesthetic appearance.

Features include:

  • Sits perfectly around your dartboard without any need for mounts or fixings
  • Active Reflex Polymer material, which prevents unsightly penetration marks
  • Offers the best protection from stray darts

Oche

This World Champion floor-protect darts mat is a full length oche system made from a lightweight and odourless fabric.

Now that you have a board with a surround, it's time to find an oche (the line where the player throws from).

There are a couple of options for this. Those who want a visual rather than physical boundary line can buy Target's 'Laser Oche', which shines a laser line at the exact regulation distance from the board. For those who want a physical oche, Target's 'World Champion Dart Mat' is a great option.

Features include:

  • A versatile and innovative solution for marking precise toe lines in your dart setup
  • Wall-mountable
  • Easy to see laser that can be seen in any lighting conditions

Lights

Seeing the board is important in darts since the slightest errors make a difference, so having a lighting system that allows you to see the board clearly is important.

Target's 'Arc Dartboard Light' is a fantastic and affordable option to light up your board effectively.

Features include:

  • LED lighting system
  • 24 bright white LEDs fully illuminate the entire dartboard for shadowless play
  • Extra-long 3 metre cable
  • Compatible with dartboard surrounds
