How To Hang A Dartboard On A Concrete Wall: Two Easy Methods Of Hanging A Dartboard On A Concrete Wall


Two Easy Methods Of Hanging A Dartboard On A Concrete Wall

Hanging a dartboard can be a very difficult task, particularly when the surface where you are going to hang it isn’t exactly easy to screw into. If you are planning to hang a dartboard on the concrete wall at your home, one of the easiest ways is to mount the board to a wall stud. The stud brings forth adequate support for the dartboard's weight. A board can weigh nearly 10 pounds or more, sufficient enough in order to tear away the mounting screws out of drywall if in case the board is hung from drywall without wall anchors. Hanging a dartboard on a concrete wall needs a little bit of planning, a few hand tools, and you need to select the method that best suits you. There are two easy methods you can use to hang a dartboard on a concrete wall: wall studs & anchors and toggle bolts.

Using Wall Studs

Follow the easy steps mentioned below carefully to hang a dartboard on the concrete wall using wall studs:
  • First of all, discover the exact place or position of a stud in the selected play area, with the help of a stud finder.
  • The next step is to calculate the wall through the stud 68 inches up from the floor. Mark this spot, because this is where the underside cup area of the mounting bracket belongs. Take hold of the bracket in this spot, open-side up, to make sure that the dartboard can slide into place.
  • Next, with the help of a pencil, mark positions for the pilot holes between the holes in the bracket.
  • Now, pull out the bracket and drill shallow pilot holes at the locations earlier marked. Use a bit having a small width in relation to length than the screws included in the bracket set.
  • Shift or dislocate the mounting bracket so that the holes in the bracket line up with the holes in the wall.
    Insert as well as tighten the screws included with the mounting hardware.

Using Anchors And Toggle Bolts

  • Firstly, drill a hole in the wall just wide enough to place, fit, or push each wall anchor or the folded "wings" of the toggle bolts. Go through the package instructions for the perfect drill bit size.
  • Now, push or hammer each anchor into the hole in such a way that the opening for the screw is facing towards you. This step is not needed if you are dealing with a toggle bolt & proceed to the next step.
  • Place, fit, or push each screw along its specific hole on the dartboard mounting bracket. For a toggle bolt, remove the "wings" off it first, before adding them back on, after the bolt has been pushed along its specific hole on the bracket. The wings and bolt should set up an arrow shape, indicating toward the wall and away from the bracket.
  • Push each screw into an anchor, securing it with the help of a screwdriver. For a toggle bolt, insert the "wings" through the wall. They should open as well as spread behind the wall. Secure the bolt with the help of a screwdriver while applying pressure in order to take hold of the wings against the backside of the wall.
  • Finally, move the dartboard or cabinet into position smoothly on the wall brackets. This can be done by holding the dartboard near the wall, to a small degree above the mounting bracket, before sliding the board downward into place.
