How To Build Your Own Cornhole Game Platforms

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

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 am a teacher in El Paso, Texax And am looking for someone that will make me about 200 corn bags. I need them the official size and weight as described in this page. If you would be interested email me a price and time frame. Thank You! Tony Dubeansky

great site! very imformative! Thanks.

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

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

thank you so much for the specs for the game we played it for the first time last week at a WVU football game.As I looked around I counted 25 games in site of us,so we were hooked, its a great game!

how do i make around hole?

Anyone that needs bags or boards can check my site out at www.icornhole.com. We have all bags, MLB, NFL, NCAA boards and more.

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.

where can you purchase the cornhole bags?

Great looking boards and tutorial, your boards are on the same level as chitown Custom Cornhole

How do you make a corn hole set i am in school and this is our project for class this week and i have to find out every single measurment like for the hole and every thing

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.

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.

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

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!!!

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!

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!!!

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!

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?

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

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

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 ?

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

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