Cornhole Boards

For casual or family play, standard 2'×4' plywood or composite boards with a smooth surface and basic stability are sufficient; competitive players typically prefer regulation-sized, 2'×4' hardwood or tournament-grade composite boards with consistent surface friction and a true 3.5-inch hole placement

Solid hardwood (plywood or hardwood tops) offers a traditional feel, predictable slide, and easy refinishing; composite or plastic-coated boards resist moisture and warping better for outdoor use but may have different ball slide characteristics and are harder to repair

Prices vary by material and build quality: budget options and beginner sets commonly fall under $100, mid-range solid wood or branded sets are roughly $100–$250, and higher-end tournament-grade or custom-painted boards can exceed that range; average prices in this category are around the mid-hundreds

Regulation boards are 2 feet wide by 4 feet long with a 6-inch-high front and a 12-inch-high back, and the hole is 6 inches from the top center with a 6-inch diameter (note: some organizations use a 6-inch diameter; confirm rules for the specific league); recommended board weight per standard varies but should be heavy enough to stay stable during play

Keep boards dry and store them indoors or under cover when not in use, clean the surface with a soft cloth and mild soap, avoid prolonged sun exposure that degrades finishes, and tighten or replace hardware as needed; for wooden boards, reseal or refinish surfaces if you notice wear

Common accessories include sets of regulation corn or synthetic bags (8 total), carrying bags or cases, scorekeepers, protective covers, and rubber feet or leg braces for added stability and floor protection

Indoor boards made of untreated wood can warp or degrade if left outdoors; outdoor-rated boards use sealed wood, composite, or weather-resistant coatings and are better for yard play—if you plan mixed use, choose a weather-resistant finish or a composite board and store it indoors when not in use
