00:00Okay, quick story. I put a dartboard up in my living room, and within a week my hardwood
00:05floor looked like it had been in a bar fight. Little pockmarks everywhere. So I went down
00:12the rabbit hole and found the best deals on the top 5 dartmats to protect hardwood floors.
00:17Some of these are under 20 bucks, and honestly one of them I like more than mats I've paid
00:21double for. Let me walk you through them. First up, the Vikama Skull Print Retro Style
00:28mat, and this one's the budget hero at just $16.65. Retro Skull Graphics, so it actually
00:35looks like decor instead of a gym mat sitting in your room. It's non-slip, it's durable,
00:40and it works in a bar, a studio, or a spare bedroom. Almost 5,000 people have bought it
00:47and it's sitting at 4.8 stars. If you want floor protection without spending real money,
00:52start here. Then there's the dartmat non-slip checkouts mat at $22.22, and yes, that perfect
00:595-star rating is real, with about 4,700 sold. This is the one I'd grab for a game room,
01:06because it's heavy duty and it comes with proper throw lines printed on it. That means no tape on
01:11your floor, no measuring, no arguing about where you're standing. You roll it out, you throw.
01:18For $22, that's a lot of mat. Number 3 is very similar, the non-slip darts mat checkouts with
01:24throw lines, heavy duty, flooring protector, the whole package at $23.74, with around 4,500 sales
01:32and a 4.6 rating. It does the same job and the print quality is clean. I'll be straight with
01:39you,
01:39if the second one is available, it's a slightly better value. But if this is the one that ships
01:45faster or matches your room, you're not losing anything. It's a solid, no-drama mat.
01:51Next is the dart rug non-slip with throw line, the portable one, at $27.14.
01:58This is the pick if your dart setup moves around, basement one weekend, rec center the next,
02:03maybe a sports club. It rolls up, it's light, the backing grips hard, and it still protects your
02:09floor from bounce outs. 4,400 people bought it, 4.7 stars. It's the most expensive of the bunch,
02:17but if you need something you can actually carry, it earns that extra few dollars.
02:21And number 5 is basically that same portable dart rug, non-slip, throw line, protective,
02:27great for game rooms, basements, offices, except it's $26.22 with a full 5-star rating.
02:33Same idea, less money, and only a bit over 4,300 sold, so it flies under the radar.
02:40If you want the portable style, honestly grab this one and put the savings toward a better
02:44set of darts. That's the list. All the links are in the description below,
02:50so check the prices before you buy, they move around. If this saved your floors, do me a favor,
