Hello I want to set up a dartboart,but i live in a student house and cant use nails. Are there any other ways?

Go to Home Depot or Lowe's and get a 4x8 sheet of Celotex (or equivalent fiberboard). About $10. Attach your dartboard to that and set it against the wall. The fiberboard will catch darts missing the target (like in case you have dorky friends over) and save the wall from looking like someone hit the wall with a shotgun.Hello I want to set up a dartboart,but i live in a student house and cant use nails.

I don't see why a nail hole is a big issue. Most people renting houses to students are happy if the walls are still there afterwards.





There are some hooks that will work that just make a small hole in the sheet rock. They are made for women to hang pictures with but they only make a very small hole and can be removed easy.





They sell them in Home Depot and Harbor Freight, probably other places too.
what are you going to do when the darts hit the wall, it will leave the same mark as a nail would.


solution: take your mattress, lean it against the wall, get a wire hanger, loop the dartboard hanging ring, poke the other end of the wire through the mattress then crimp it.


-no respect for mattresses
no more nails


you just wont be able to take it down again


EVER


MUHAHAHA
I am a big fan of those 3M plastic hooks that go on the wall with removable ';Command'; strip tape. They make all types and there are very narrow ones that would be good for what you are trying to do. Also, you may want to mount some cork sheeting (available at the Home Depot) behind the dart board if you are worried about holes in the wall. Come to think of it, maybe you should try another hobby all together :) Good luck.
Use lots of blobs of blue tack or those double sides sticky tabs.





Don't do anything too permanent or you won't get your deposit back when you leave.
Hercules hooks!


They are fantastic - hold a lot of weight - yet only put a pinhole sized hole in the wall..

You could knock up a lightweight easel or A frame that would lean against the wall and mount the board on it.
no
Blue Tack !! =D
Use a 5 gal-bucket cut 2x4 to height place 2x4 in ready mix concrete let it harden attach plywood backer thats cut to size of your dart board or just alittle wider than your dart board then mount your board to ply wood.I hope this helps.
hang it from a string from the ceiling against the wall
use a nailless dartboard setterupper.
