Another solution to play darts outside is to use dart boards made from plastic. Rain and bad weather will not harm this dart board. But be careful not to leave it on the hot sun because plastic with time may melt.

Viper Shot King Sisal/Bristle Steel Tip

Viper Shot King Sisal - Bristle Steel Tip

Shot King Official Competition dart board is made from sisal, bristle, and that means you should never leave it outside during the rain or when humidity is high. The bad weather can really damage this dart board. And I need to say that all the previously mentioned dart boards are made for kids and entertainment purposes only. Shot King and the dart boards that follow in this outdoor dart board review article are all good for professional play. Shot King is made in the official size and comes with six high-quality darts. To use this dart board outside you will need to mount it on some portable mount. You can either place it on a removable wooden plank which you take down and bring inside during the bad weather, or you can make a whole portable mount. But without question this dart board will not be easy to move, it will need some effort, not like others where you just take it and bring it inside.

 

Viper League Pro Sisal/Bristle Steel Tip

Viper league dartboard

There is not much difference between this Viper dart board and previously reviewed Viper dart board. The only difference is that this one is called League Pro and previous one is Shot King. Colors are different as well. The quality and everything else is the same. Also, the same problem with mobility is present here. You will need to be a good handyman to mount this dart board on something that is portable and something that can be moved inside the house fast. This dart board package comes with cricket scoreboard kit, and if you attach this to the portable plank, then that will be one huge plank that needs to be moved to the safe place during bad weather. With that in mind, I can say that this dart board is even worse considering the mobility. Because of that, you should maybe consider some material to cover the dart board during the bad weather.

The wood used to construct this good-looking cabinet is a high-quality material and will for sure not get damaged even if you leave this cabinet outside.

  Rabosky Roll-up Magnetic Dart Board

Rabosky Roll-up Magnetic Dart Board

If you are looking a good and safe dart board for your kids, then this is the ideal outdoor dart board for you. Instead of sharp steel tips or even soft plastic tips, this dart board is using magnetic tips. On darts, there is a magnet that gets attached to the board. This dart board can easily be folded and moved from place to place and because of that is an ideal solution for outdoor as well as indoor play. You can just hang it anywhere you like. The only problem with this dart board is that I can not recommend this to any real darts player. Magnetic darts are so much different from real darts, they fly different and land differently. If you are serious about your dart game, you would never play darts on magnetic dart board. But on the other hand, people who are looking to have some fun will not bother what kind of darts they are throwing as long as they have fun. Because of that, this is one of the best and most affordable dart boards for the outdoor fun play. But don’t expect anything other than fun from this board.

But just like the previously mentioned dart board, this one as well is not giving a real darts feel. Magnetic darts are so much different than real ones, and if you love darts game, then you will hate playing on magnetic dart boards. This dart board set comes with four magnetic darts, and because of that, it cost a few dollars more than the previously mentioned magnetic dart board.

 

Betterline – Safety Dart Board Set

Betterline - Safety outdoor Dart Board Set

This soft tip dart board is called safe because it uses plastic tips instead of sharp metal tips. But you need to understand that this plastic tips can also be dangerous and still you should not leave your kids playing with them without parental supervision. This dart board size is 1.8 inches, and it has everything set just like a real official dart board. It is made from plastic which means it can be longer outside.

Summary

There is really no special outdoor dartboard that you can leave outside on the bad weather and forget. Any material will wear off with time. Maybe plastic dart boards are great for bad rainy weather, but that same plastic dart boards will have problems on the hot sunny weather. The whole plastic dart board can be melted if the weather is too warm. Because of that any dart board, dart board cabinet and the electronic dart board can be used outdoors if you move it inside when you are done with a game. Ideal equipment for outdoor darts is outdoor dart board cabinet. They can easily be moved inside or even left outside with an additional cover.
