how tall should a dart board be

A standard dartboard should be mounted so that the bullseye is 5 feet 8 inches (1.73 m) from the floor.

Standard dartboard height

• Regulation steel-tip and most electronic dartboards are set with the center of the bull at 5' 8" (1.73 m) from the floor.

• This height is based on the average eye level of an adult and is used by major bodies like the WDF and PDC, so it matches pub and tournament setups.

Throwing distance (for completeness)

• The usual throwing line (oche) is 7 feet 9.25 inches (2.37 m) from the face of the board for steel-tip darts.

• Some soft-tip/electronic boards use a slightly different distance, often around 8 feet (2.44 m), so it is worth checking the manufacturer’s guide.

Special cases

• For wheelchair users, there is a common adapted height: around 4 feet 6 inches (1.37 m) from floor to bullseye, while keeping the same throwing distance, to maintain fairness.

• Regional or specialty dartboards (like Manchester or Yorkshire boards) can have different regulation heights, so always confirm the board type if you are copying a league setup.

TL;DR: Hang the dartboard so the bullseye is at 5' 8" (1.73 m) from the floor, then mark the throw line at 7' 9.25" (2.37 m) out for a standard steel- tip setup.
