How do I make a cornhole board?

Materials:

  • Two sheets of 3/4-inch plywood (4 feet by 8 feet)
  • Two 2x4s (8 feet long)
  • 1x4 pine board (8 feet long)
  • 3-inch wood screws
  • 1-inch wood screws
  • Wood glue
  • Sandpaper
  • Cornhole bags (4 sets)

Instructions:

  1. Cut the plywood: Cut two pieces of plywood to 2 feet by 4 feet.
  2. Cut the 2x4s: Cut four pieces of 2x4 to 2 feet long.
  3. Attach the 2x4s: Glue and screw the 2x4s along the long edges of the plywood, flush with the top surface.
  4. Cut the 1x4: Cut four pieces of 1x4 to 2 feet long.
  5. Attach the 1x4s: Glue and screw the 1x4s perpendicular to the 2x4s, 12 inches from the front edge of the board. These will create the lip that the bags will land on.
  6. Sand and finish: Sand the board smooth and apply a sealant or paint.

Tips:

  • Use 3-inch screws for attaching the 2x4s and 1-inch screws for attaching the 1x4s.
  • Ensure that the lip is level by using a level or straight edge.
  • Allow the glue to fully dry before using the board.
