To set up a dartboard, first, choose a suitable wall space that is free from obstructions. The center of the dartboard should be positioned 5 feet 8 inches (1.73 meters) from the floor. Use a level to ensure the board is straight, and secure it with screws or a mounting bracket. Next, mark the throwing distance. The standard distance from the front of the dartboard to the throwing line, known as the oche, is 7 feet 9.25 inches (2.37 meters) for steel-tip darts. For electronic or soft-tip darts, the distance is typically the same. Ensure the area is well-lit for optimal visibility.
