Cornhole is a popular outdoor game that is easy to learn fun to play. It’s a great way to spend time with family friends it’s also a great way to show off your DIY skills. Building a cornhole board from scratch is a relatively simple project that can be completed in a few hours. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started.
Gather Your Materials
Before you begin you’ll need to gather the materials you’ll need to build your cornhole board. You’ll need:
• 2 pieces of 3/4-inch plywood cut to 24-by-48 inches
• 4 2-by-4s cut to 48 inches
• 8 2-by-4s cut to 12 inches
• Wood screws
• Sandpaper
• Wood glue
• Paint or stain
• Polyurethane
Assemble the Frame
Once you have all of your materials you can begin assembling the frame. Start by attaching the two 48-inch 2-by-4s to the top bottom of the plywood using wood screws. Then attach the 12-inch 2-by-4s to the sides of the plywood. Make sure the frame is square secure.
SPaint
Once the frame is assembled you can begin sanding the wood to smooth out any rough edges. Once the wood is sanded you can apply a coat of paint or stain. Allow the paint or stain to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Attach the Legs
The next step is to attach the legs to the frame. Start by attaching the four 12-inch 2-by-4s to the bottom of the frame using wood screws. Make sure the legs are evenly spaced secure.
Add the Finishing Touches
Once the legs are attached you can add the finishing touches to your cornhole board. Start by applying a coat of polyurethane to the entire board to protect it from the elements. You can also add a logo or design to the board using paint or wood burning tools.
Enjoy Your Cornhole Board
Once your cornhole board is complete you can enjoy playing the game with family friends. With a little bit of time effort you can create a beautiful durable cornhole board that will last for years to come.
