You want to use Clear polyurethane to seal the decals. two coats!

just completed construction on my boards,whats the best type of paint to use and what finsh do i put over my decals to hold them in place,would appreciate any suggestions

the top is SUPPOSED to be glossy people!!!!!! also there about a million web sites with the demensions of the boxes.

Is it ok to use semi-gloss paint for my set?

Can you make the boards out of a different kind of wood?
like cherry, ironwood or hickory?

I have just built a set of cornhole boards, but i have seen several people built a scoring system in the back. I want to do that, but I cant figure out what type of wooden pieces they have used. Anyone have any clue??

Can you send me instructions on how to play Corn Hole? I have the board and bags, but other than throwing the bags to the hole, I'm lost. How far apart should the boards be, how do you score, etc?? Any info appreciated.
Thanks,
Lil

I would love to know how to make the led lights with battery pack to light up the 6" hole for the boards, I just don't see the reason by paying 70 bucks plus shipping for something that I may use every so often.. Thanks

Can Anyone Tell me the Mesurments for a Mini Cornhole Set, it is for my friends son. I promised him I would make one with him but I am lost! Any Help I would be so Thankful for.

I was wondering after you paint the boards, is there a sealant or a certian type of clear coat that will give the boards a slick feel?

I am looking for a VA Tech stencil. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Hi Charlene,
My name is Shari and I have been making corn hole games and selling them out of my house. Mostly the bags. I just opened up a booth in a Habitate Restore and would like to make the mini & Kids size boards and bags but I too have not been able to find instructions. Did anyone share their information with you? If so, would you mind passing it onto me? If you can, I thank you in advance. Sincerely, Shari Stogdill

Can a cornhole board be made of materials other than wood?

Try this Kristi,

I bought bags from this lady. She makes any style or color. She has all the sports themes and can even embroider almost anything on bags. For the quality of the bags her price is great. She has been making them for 3 years.

I have the platforms built. I need to know what is recommended for finishing them. Is staining and urethane the best? Is priming and painting the best method? if painting, how many coats of clear acrylic should follow? Please help with best method. Thanks

I just made a game set, and, sealed the top with polyeurethane to protect the decals I attached. The surface is VERY slick; is this acceptable, or, should I make the surface slightly less slick by applying an additional coat of polyeurthane containing a small amount of silica sand?

where can you purchase the cornhole bags?

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM BARRY !!!!!!
I thought he`d man up after reading my comment and come up with my order. NO WAY !!! BARRY IS A RIP OFF

My friend and I are cornhole enthusiasts, as we're building a fun, free site that provides step-by-step pictures along with detailed instructions for building your own cornhole set: www.cornholehowto.com . Take a look; I hope something there might be a useful supplement to the nice suggestions posted here.

Anybody else order a stencil or decal from Barry and not receive it. After several attempts to contact him, and promises that my decals will be sent. I stopped hearing from him. All I know is he cashed my check for $24 and I never received the product. WHAT`S UP BARRY !!!!

What is the best kind of wood for a corn hole game? 3/4" Oak, 1/2" plywood, 1/2" maple cabinet grade plywood, 1/2" AC plywood, 3/4 hardboard, 1/2 medium density fiberboard. I want the right material for the best stick to the board and little bounce or slide.

How do you paint an accurate logo onto the wood?

How do you make a stencil that can make a Cubs or Bears logo?

Do you have dimensions for "hilbilly golf" as well?

I would like to have the dimensions for the cornbags and platforms please.

What a great website you have! I got some great ideas. I am building a Corn Hole game for my nephew, & was going to paint a Chiacgo Cubs logo on one & a Bears logo on the other. One question: how'd you do that? I cannot for the life of me figure out how to paint an accurate logo onto the wood. In other words, what do you use to transfer the logo?

Thanks!!!

What kind of Paint do i use to paint the corn hole boards? Do i use a glossy paint? Do i need to sand them down?

For anyone who would like to know, I have a method for making cornhole boards that can be finished in less than 8 hours(including paint drying time), and will cost less than $60.00, including hardware, wood, and paint. And I make quality boards with 45 degree corners and a semi-gloss paint finish. If you're interested in my list of materials and construction steps, send me an email.

Cornhole ROCKS!

Hi, I am so glad to find your site. My husband an i were camping an a couple that camped behind us were playing cornhole. We watched them play, so we thought it might be fun for us also. So now that i cannot play horseshoes any more becaus of a back injury, i think i can do the cornhole game. I would like to know what kind of material to buy an how much i need to make my own bags? Thank you from Kentucky

Brandy...Someone posted a great idea on that!! My family and friends are big corn hole players. We hold tourneys all the time, great for bbq's and such. One thing that we always had a problem with was finding the correct distance of the boards. Each time they would either be too close or too far. So, what we did was measured out the correct distance, put an eye screw in the front of each board and tied a rope at each end. Then.... you just pull the boards apart until the slack on the rope is gone. Perfect distance every time... no tape measurer needed!!!

Whats the best way to measure the distance between the two boards? I've seen some people use a rope, but I'm not sure how they are attaching it to get the right distance... Any help with this would be awesome!

If you like the Cornhole game then you should try bolo (ladder golf) also. I have designed a dual game board supporting both games in one. Its been a great hit with friends and at parties!

Hi
I need a game ebfore the 4th of July. Anyone want to make me one? I live on Long Island.

Thanks

COLLEGE LOGO STENCILS from Barry -
send me an e-mail. idsignus@comcast.net

Hey barry, Im interested in the University of Kentucky logo stencil could you help me?

Barry, I would also be interested in University of Louisville logos. How do we contact you to find out information?

Thanks Bo for the infomation....I have semi-gloss finish and home court advantage

Dan-o, I like using a high gloss paint, but don't be afraid about being different either. Whatever finish you choose on your set, you'll always have "home court" advantage.

What is the best finish to apply as a top/clear coat ?

Barry, I'd be interested in a Univ. of Louisville "cardinal head" stencil, and a Univ of Kentucky "UK" stencil.

Great site

Would like measurements for the beanbag game.Would like to make one.Thanks

Each player throws 4 bean bags each turn. That means, you'll need 4 of one color/design, and 4 of another color/design for a complete set.

Thanks for the great website. Should I sand the plywood before painting? Or would that slicken the surface too much? My friend used high-gloss paint and the bags slid right off the boards - is this due to the high-gloss paint or is there another possible reason?

why two sheets of plywood?and as for what to do with all the left over corn.1 feed deer in back yard.2give it farmers.

What do you think is the best kind of paint to use
on the boards so they have a nice slick finish

Great site!! I'm looking to build my own set and thank you for not charging a fee for the plans. I'd like to see your folding leg design but the link is out. Can you help? Thank you.

I have the dimensions and hardware needed for the folding cornhole boards, but can some one email me the instructions for assembly?

Nice article. Anyone looking for free dimensions you can check out my site. http://www.cornhole-game.org

I made bags and the first time I threw them , they busted ! Anyone have any advice on what kind of thread or stitch I should be using ?

Great site and information. It would be great if you could contribute some of the places you play and other cornhole information over at cornholeparty.com

Thank-you for a very helpful site . The best I've seen , with great information.

So is it bean bags or cornholio ? Or are they 2 names for the same game ?

What kind of paint is used on a plywood board used to make the corb hole game ?
