Choosing the Right Cornhole Board Designs

by Custom Corntoss / Thursday, 09 January 2014 / Published in Information

As the bags fly, there is a lot more to observe on the cornhole court than just the final score.  Cornhole – while entertaining – is enlightening.  It reveals little bits about the competitors they often don’t know are exposed.

Are the players uptight or laid back?  Are they there to socialize or compete?  Will they curse at a defeat or nobly shake the winner’s hand?

Nowhere is personality more telling than in the cornhole board designs.  If you are eager to share the evidence of your true passions, here are a few tips and tricks to consider.

Tips and Tricks for the Best Cornhole Board Designs

Before you grab a set of custom cornhole boards, consider the following:

  • No matter what the boards look like, it is important to adhere to cornhole board specs.  Don’t sacrifice function for design.  The official cornhole board specs are 23.5 inches by 47.5 inches.  The hole (with a 6-inch diameter) should be centered 8 7/8 inches from the top of the board.
  • Make sure the cornhole board design doesn’t interfere with game play.  Don’t use a background color that is too dark; it might make it difficult to see the hole.
  • Choose a high-gloss paint for your boards.  This will help the bags glide smoothly across the surface.

Cornhole Design Inspiration

Maybe you know you want something totally unique, but you don’t know how to put your thoughts into action.  Here are some ideas for totally original cornhole board designs.

  • Use glow-in-the-dark paint.  This ensures game play can continue after the sun goes down.  You can also add lights to the boards for an even flashier appearance.
  • Incorporate the hole into your cornhole board designs.  Maybe the hole is strategically places where the eye of the skull would be.  Or maybe it is the window of the ship.  Use your imagination!
  • Add cornhole decals.  Even if you have very limited creativity, you can still have tricked out boards.  Choose a decal for your favorite sports team.  Paint the boards in corresponding colors.  Add a decal.  Slap on some varnish and you’re done!
  • Buy (or make) matching cornhole bags.  You can do something simple like sync the colors or you can go more advanced and incorporate specific aspects of the board design.  While festive cornhole board designs are key, it is equally important to pay attention to the cornhole bag designs.  Remember there are rules that govern official cornhole bags.  Just like the cornhole board specs, don’t sacrifice function for style.
  • Wrap the design all the way around the boards.  The top of the board isn’t the only visible surface.  Make the design continue on the sides too.
  • Use a continuous image across both boards.  Choose one design idea and have it spread across both boards.  Be sure to choose an image that will ensure visual appeal on both halves.
  • Be personal.  Use your initials, family crest, or portrait in the design.  Make sure everyone knows those boards are yours!
