DIY Dartboard Cabinet

Step-by-step build — 7 steps. Also available as a print sheet.

  1. 1Assemble box

    Drill two pocket holes on each end of the Box Sides, Box Top and Box Bottom. Using 1 1/4" pocket hole screws, attach the Box Top and Bottom to the Box Sides flush on the ends using the pocket holes on the Box Top and Bottom. Do not use pocket holes on the Box Sides as those will be used later.

  4. 4Assemble doors

    • Cut 45 degree miters on the ends of the Door Sides and Door Top and Bottoms, keeping the length of the long edge of each corresponding with the cut list. Using wood glue, attach these trim pieces to the front of each Door and then clamp in place until dry.
    • Drill 6 pocket holes in the long edge of the Dart Holder. Using wood glue, attach the Dart Holder to the inside of one Door.
    • Once everything is dry, attach the Doors to the Box Sides using hinges.

  6. 6Insert Dartboard

    • Hang your dart board inside the cabinet using the included screw.
    • Insert darts into the pocket holes in the dart holder. You may have to push down slightly the first time to push the steel tips through the end of the hole.
    • Then, they will go through easily each time after that.
