If you live in a country with warm climate or the weather is great during the summer, you may not play darts as often because this game keeps you indoors. However, why should you be restricted to playing darts inside?
Can't dartboards go outside to allow you to enjoy the game out in the open?
The first thing to mention here is that a tournament played during the Professional Darts Corporation tour was held outside. The Dubai Darts Masters was played at the Dubai Tennis Stadium and the dartboard was outside. It was the opening event of a global series that took place for five years, with Michael van Gerwen and Gary Anderson being the only players ever to win the event.
The wind and heat did cause problems for the players, at times, but the tournament was successfully carried out for five years.
So, if it is good enough for the PDC, it is good enough for you and there is no problem in playing darts outdoors.
Dartboards can go outside but you should never leave them there. You could attach a dartboard to a sturdy stand and have it set-up in the garden but when you have finished playing, you should take it down and place it indoors.
A high-quality dartboard such as the Assassin Blade Pro available at IgnatGames is a great example that can work well outside in dry, warm conditions. It will last a long time, even if you use it outdoors but it cannot be left outside under any circumstances.
The dartboard is designed for indoor use and should always remain indoors when not in use but when the conditions are favorable, you can take it outside and enjoy a great game of darts with family and friends.
Humidity can also be an issue if you play darts outdoors regularly. Humid will damage the dartboard and you will need to purchase a new one more often than if you played indoors. This being said, if you rotated the dartboard often enough, there is no reason why you could not enjoy playing outside in humid weather, just don’t expect it to last as long as it would if you left it inside.
The bristles are likely to bulge faster on a dartboard outside, in humid conditions, and when this happens, you will need to purchase a new board.
So, the answer to the question ‘Can dartboards go outside?’ is Yes but only when they are being used. When not in use, you should take the dartboard inside and keep it stored in a cool, dry environment to keep it in good shape.
