Winmau Dartboard Surround

Product Information

Winmau's latest range of dartboards has been well-received, particularly the Winmau Blade 6, which has become extremely popular among players worldwide due to its outstanding quality and affordability. This has resulted in it becoming one of the highest selling dartboards on the international market. The one point I would make is that the wood can be more damaging to the dart tip than other materials (particularly foam) but it’s still a solid and long-lasting choice.

My strong recommendation would be to get a dartboard surround if you don’t have one already, not only do they act as an important safety item to protect your wall from darts but they also look great and give your dart setup a professional look. The dartboard light surrounds are designed in such a way that they are not in the way when throwing. All darts lighting is universal, meaning they all fit every dartboard. Besides that, all of our dartboard lighting is LED. As a result, the lighting is very durable and energy-efficient.

I’ve previously made a roundup article to recommend the best dartboard surround and it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Winmau Dartboard Surround ranks as the highest-rated on that list! The most common options are wood, cork, and a rubber/foam blend with the latter being by far the best option for most people. A wooden surround may protect your walls completely but it will damage your dart tips through impact. This is often an overlooked aspect but something that is useful for motivating you to practice and for also enhancing your play/practice time at the board. Final Thoughts

Overall, this is a high-quality product that will completely transform the look of your board from an amateur setup to a professional standard that will last for years of use and abuse with little sign of damage. Design: The fabric design is arguably the best looking of any dartboard surround making your dartboard a feature point of your room. This is a really high-quality product and in my opinion, it really is an excellent choice, the only thing stopping me from rating it higher is that other surrounds on this list can offer better value for money. If you’ve got the spare cash though, this could be a decent option. ProsOne clear downside with this product is that the logos are just too excessive. They haven’t subtly blended the logo and it ends up distracting from the board rather than being complementing. Price: This is a premium product and unless you are based in the UK, the price can seem quite high. The product quality and high rating more than justifies the price tag though. If like me, you are a fan of darts but need to protect the walls in your home from any loose darts, you only really have two options. These are a dartboard cabinet or a dedicated dartboard surround.

The size of the dartboard surround is going to be important for two reasons. Firstly, if you’re a beginner and frequently have loose darts miss the board, the larger the surround the better. Firstly, I actually own this product (I’ve included this in the image at the top of this article) and can personally vouch for the quality of this product.The Winmau Dartboard Surround is definitely best suited to an intermediate-advanced level darts player or a serious hobby player. The main reasons being that at a mid-range price point, it won’t have the same appeal to a casual player who isn’t really investing in their darts setup. The Viper Defender III is an extended dartboard surround that offers impressive coverage to catch loose darts that miss the board whilst protecting the wall behind. Dartboard surrounds give your darts set up a professional look and in this article, I’ll be reviewing one of the most popular and highest rated dartboard surrounds – The Winmau Dartboard Surround. All dartboard lighting is universal and fits to any dartboard. The old-fashioned dart light fixed on the wall is now being replaced by playing darts with LED lighting and therefore every dartboard light surround contains LED's in our assortment. Because the dart ring has LED lights, it has a longer lifespan and is more energy efficient.

It’s minimal, subtly branded (for those that like to have a branded setup), and fits perfectly around standard-sized bristle dartboards. Design: The cork design offers a more natural and authentic look that will blend in well with your dartboard for a more classic playing area. A simple design is used so the 6 pieces slot together in seconds for easy assembly and the universal fitting means this product will fit almost any steel-tip, bristle dartboard with standard measurements of 17.75” and 18”. Mounting: This surround is simple enough to wall mount with the screws and anchors included but it also has the capability to mount the dartboard directly onto it as well for easy installation.Winmau offers a diverse range of dartboards that cater to different levels and price points. The professional-grade Winmau Blade 6 and Winmau Blade 6 Triple Core dartboards are more premium compared to the recreational dartboards. Recreational Level Winmau Dartboards
