Plan your board wall and mark the throw line

Measure the space around the board, beside the wall and along the floor before choosing a surround or throw-line marker.

Measure the board and its surroundings

Use the outside edge of the installed board for surround fit. Measure the remaining wall space around the rim and below the board, especially if a cabinet door or shelf occupies part of the wall.

Decide which piece carries the board

A bracket supports the compatible board. A slide-on foam surround follows the edge for coverage. A larger backboard takes up more wall and may include a center mounting bracket. Read the specific package list.

Choose how to mark the lane

Measure from the face of the board using the distance for your setup. A printed mat can roll away. A peel-and-stick strip stays on the floor, and a raised oche adds a reference you can feel underfoot.

Guide questions

Can my surround replace the board bracket?

Use the hardware specified for the board. A foam surround is designed for coverage around an already supported board.

Where do I start measuring the lane?

Use the board face and the distance documented for your style of play.

How can I free up the floor between sessions?

Compare a roll-away mat or a projected line, depending on your space and available power.

Which accessory suits the job?

  1. The square framed backboard takes a 29-inch footprint and includes a center bracket. Allow wall space around the full frame.

  2. This round cork-faced surround has a different footprint from the framed panel. Its band accommodates the listed smaller bristle board.

  3. The Viper Edge is an adhesive line for a fixed position. It uses little floor area and has a printed stance scale.

  4. The Blade X 8219 puts a physical edge on a removable mat. Compare it if a printed line is hard to reference by feel.
