Corn Hole set up

This is a very interesting start on the set. I used 2×4 material as well but to make it portable I simply framed in 2×4 legs on the back. They are removable and bolted to the sides when not in use but yours looks to be more versatile.

This was an interesting post.

ok..call me stupid…but what the heck is a corn hole…I like the sliding dowel…but not sure what it is…

Those boards are going to be very heavy duty. I usually just trim out a piece of 3/4 ply with some 1×3 for my boards.The front rest in the grass on the 1×3. For the back side I use 3/4 ply on hinges mounted to the bottom side of the boards.

Corn Hole is like yard darts with bean bags. Most people play outside, but if you have a few diehard corn holers that set boards up in the basement.

you don’t want to get caught corn holi’n in public around these parts of the country, you’ll find yourself spending time in the county jail!!!!!!!

Uh? Does the corn hole game involve exchange of money? If it doesn’t, I can’t see much use in it. Seems like time that could be spent in the shop. Just my honest. :-)

Frame looks good, though. Like the slot for making it KD.

Corn hole is basically a safe way to play horseshoes. Here is the official website in case anyone cares to learn more: http://www.playcornhole.org/

Thanks for the post. I’ve kept telling myself I’m going to build me a set, but I still haven’t. Corn hole has gotten pretty popular around this part of the country.

Now I know what it is. We were camping this weekend and saw some people playing it. I guess I’ll have to try.

I thought the board had multiple holes of differing values….5 points, 3 points..ect, ect. Is that a different game?

ok…i got me a new summer project!!! in my day talking about your cornhole in public was not appropriate…now I can invite people to come over and play?

It was called Baggo by all the hippies that played it in my college’s town.

Nice work!

Thanks for the post

-- There is no such thing as a mistake....just a design modification Check out my site http://thetimberkid.blogspot.com/

I’m glad that someone got to explaining the game. I took my basic design directly from the “official” corn hole website and expanded on it for the support leg structure. I’m sure that it is very much overkill, but not having any experience with making them and learning from others, I decided to try to make up my own design. Based on my wife’s initial thoughts, the next set I make for friends will probably not use the interior frame work and just use the legs w/the support dowel. That would take some weight and time off this project.

The other reason I used 2×4s is that according to the “rules” of corn hole, the front edge of the boards must be 2.5 to 3.5 inches off the ground.
