When building a set of cornhole boards, the type of plywood you choose will have a major impact on how well your board performs and looks. Some prefer birch plywood, while others swear by Poplar or even Oak. Ultimately it comes down to what you want from your board and how much you’re willing to spend.
If you are looking for a quick and easy project, Cassity at Remodelaholic has a tutorial on turning a wooden pallet into two small-scale cornhole sets. Her design can scale up to regulation size, but she also showcases a one-pallet version as well for those who want to save on materials.
Toni at Girl, Just DIY also covers a simple-to-follow tutorial on making a single cornhole board using a pre-cut piece of plywood. She explains how to use a jigsaw to cut out a circle per regulations (a circle that the bean bags will fall into).
Some builders prefer to go with 2x4s for the frame of their boards. If you’re going this route, make sure to choose kiln-dried lumber to prevent warping and uneven spots on the plywood surface.
Some people add legs to their cornhole boards for extra height. For this, you will need a 3/8-inch lag bolt, flat washers and a wing nut to attach the leg. After drilling the hole, be sure to test the leg to ensure that it rotates freely. If it doesn’t, sand the leg to remove any burrs or sharp edges.
