Ways to Make Your Cornhole Set Stand Out

Customizing cornhole sets has become big business. Call it pride, bragging rights, or an expression of the creator, but people love to customize cornhole boards and bags to make them, well, more of them. If you’re considering customizing your boards or bags, take a look at the following ideas that can add personality to your ensemble.

Paint job or custom decals

The easiest way to add character to your cornhole boards is to paint them. You can paint them solid colors, create patterns, or even turn your boards into sports logos. If you’re short on money or time, using stickers might be a good idea. Decals add character for little time and cost and are available online.

brand bags

If you decorate your cornhole boards with a brand logo, such as that of a sports organization, you should consider branding your bags to match. You can buy licensed fabric and make the bags or buy them.

solid walls

Boards with solid walls look impressive. In addition to being visually appealing, the solid walls and legs reduce mis-bounces from bags. This is because the legs are not adjustable and do not move when the bags hit the boards. Although solid walls have their advantages, they also have drawbacks. They add weight to the boards and make the ride difficult.

pacemaker cord

Tired of measuring the distance between your boards when you place them to play? I also! The upgrade with the biggest investment is definitely connecting a measurement cable to both boards. Using two holding clips, you can attach a cable between the two boards. When you take out the boards to play, you can put one board in place, extend the cable, and then attach it to the other board. Once the cable is taut, you’ll know you have the correct distance.

Lights

Having to stop playing due to darkness is a pain that all cornholers face. There’s nothing worse than having to end your fun because you don’t have daylight. For little money, you can buy hole lights to illuminate the hole in your dash. If you want the board to light up, you can buy Christmas lights. Drill holes in the face of the board along the edges, then insert the Christmas lights through the bottom of the holes.

Marker

Although freestanding markers are cheap, building them on the boards can add a lot of flavor and easily impress friends. You can incorporate them into your board by making a scorecard on the back or side wall of the board. You can buy a magnetic marker and mount it on the board. For the bookmarks, just get two different colored magnets.

cup holder

Cup holders can be incorporated into your dashboards with ease. Place a 2×4 horizontally between the two legs. You can then drill cup holder holes in the 2×4 and conveniently store your drinks on the back of the dash.

Do you drive

If you’re tired of carrying your boards around by the edges, you can add handles to your board at no cost. The two most common types of built-in handles are ropes and cutouts. For the string, simply drill two holes in the side of each board and thread the string through the holes. For a cutout handle, simply make a cutout in the side of each board.
