No not that cornhole this cornhole:



Anyone have plans? Material suggestions? Paint Schemes?

Or pictures of your set up...

I'm thinking of building up a set for car camping weekends and Titans tailgating!

Also anyone have a cheap place to get the bags online?
The cheapest I've found for quality bags is $35 + shipping for 8 bags.

Google it. We did when we were at my dads place one summer. Took longer to find the wood than it did to build it.

I understand how google works, I was looking for insight from someone who had experience with an actual build.

Thanks for the reply capt. obvious!

dig around on craigslist, my BIL got 2 nice boards and bags for like 65 bucks.  Some guy makes em on the side, and you would have at least half that in materials.

I'm looking for a weekend project... picking up a set from the local flea market isn't manly enough for me

But I don't sew, so buying bags online would be an option!

Use 1/4 inch plywood for the top. It flexes more and provides bounce.

Built my own and painted them in college colors.  Other options are sports teams.  There are folks that sell bags on ebay in all sorts of designs on them.  Make sure to get ones with corn.

Also, don't sand the heck out of the playing surface.  The paint and corn dust will make them plenty slick.

Don't let your bags get wet or leave them in the shed over the winter as the animals will eat them.

I will never understand how that game got that name.  Around here (South 'burbs of Chicago) it's called Bags.  I hear "cornhole", and all I can think of is Office Space, and Nationwide's old avatar.

This I hadn't considered
the bounce is good? I was thinking of making it solid as can be.
but 1/4 inch would definately be cheaper than 1/2 or 3/4

Any suggestions on the "legs" just a 2 x 4 with a bolt through it? a couple of washers to give it room to more
