A board and surround bought together sit tight to each other, with the aperture cut to the board's edge rather than leaving the gap that comes from mixing makers.

That gap matters more than it sounds — it is precisely where a stray dart would otherwise find the wall behind the board.

Buying as a pair also saves the usual sequence, where a board goes up, the wall collects marks over a few weeks and a surround gets ordered afterwards. The bundles here cover every major board from club through to tournament specification, with foam and polyurethane surrounds in a range of colours.
