It is finally the weekend, and you are ready to chill out. There’s plenty you could do, but you hear your den calling. Wouldn’t it be great if you could text your friends and have them over for a couple of beers and a round of darts? The beers would be easy enough to pick up, but how do you know what makes a great dartboard?
Here is a handy guide of seven things to think about while you shop. This way you’ll get the most out of your dartboard and your den becomes the place to be on Friday night.
1. Consider Bladed Dartboard Wiring
The wiring organizes the dartboard into the segments you’re familiar with. It’s important to remember that this wiring has an impact on the amount of playing surface on the board. Thicker wire will rob you of points by causing bounce-outs when the point comes in contact.
It is best to seek out boards that use bladed wiring. They are just as easy to see from a distance while maximizing your playing surface.
2. Best to Start Fresh, Avoid Used Dartboards

Level Up Your Game Room: Essential Furniture and Space Requirements
This is an ultimate guide about the actual space you need to keep around your pool table, air hockey, or whichever table you picked up for your game room furniture. It'll go over how much space you need to allow for the games themselves and how to use the space around the table to its full potential.
This article will give you a few ways to make your game room feel larger without sacrificing game table space–enjoy!
What's the Space Needed for a Ping Pong Table?
While smaller models are available, a full-size ping-pong table will be five feet wide by nine feet long. So right off the bat, you’re looking at a massive space commitment. Ping-pong (outside of the pool) is also the most demanding of the space around it.
It is best to allow at least sixteen inches of space on your ping pong table (on both sides) for each person playing. Without this space, players won’t be able to play comfortably and to their fullest ability.
What's the Space Needed for a Pool Table?
The amount of space needed for a pool table will depend entirely on the style and make of the table itself, but the consensus is that you will need a minimum of 8' x 4' (72" x 36") to play pool comfortably.
However, the reality is that you will need much more space than that. From lining up your shot just right to getting perspective on the whole table, you need to be able to move freely around your table as well as lean against as appropriate. To be safe, assume the pool table will take up half of the room itself.
