NFT: Cornhole Boards

Essex : 7/19/2018 10:24 am
We are renting a beach house in Long Island this August and wanted to get some cornhole boards for the backyard for the week. I live in the city and have no backyard and literally no use for the boards other than that week (I might even dump them instead of storing them when we leave). I was shocked that the decent quality boards were in the 200 range. Does anyone know of some cheaper boards that aren't complete plastic garbage like in the 100 range that would last for the week? I looked online but it seems like its either a good board or garbage and no in between. Do I have that right? Thanks in advance?

went on a golf trip to Myrtle and went to Walmart and bought a set for I think around $90.

they left it there when they flew home.

said it worked fine while they were there.

There's usually college kids looking to sell theirs pretty cheap. If you're in NY you might even find ones that have the Giants logo on it.
Ah, good ole cornhole.

I think currently there is some neon light ones that you can put up in the yard. Maybe $80 bucks. DO NOT BUY. Extremely cheap and poorly made.
E-bay has

a set made of aluminum in the $50 range.
We are going to outer banks and there's a place that rents them

as well as other stuff like boogie boards, surf boards and bikes. We are renting one for the week. Might be an option too.
you can build them pretty cheaply

I'm no carpenter but I could handle that job.
I would buy one sheet of plywood

and one 2x4

Make it super cheap and you dont even have to bother painting it (although the bags will slide better.

I just bought a set at Target in Setauket with a carry bag for $100. real wood not plastic for a housewarming.

They were good had fun sure but they would come apart if left outside for a few weeks.

Montauk
check with the owner  
jestersdead : 7/19/2018 11:32 am : link
and see if they have a set of boards there. If not, check ebay and craigslist for sales.
If you plan on just keeping them there and not taking them back

I would order on Amazon and have it delivered directly to the house you are renting.

Really easy, cheap, and you can make them look however you want them...

madgiantscow009 : 7/19/2018 3:20 pm : link
already.
Build them yiyrself  
louinma : 7/19/2018 8:42 pm : link
I've built a few. 2'x4' piece of plywood, 24" 2x4, 2 pieces closet pole an out 6-8" long.

Hole cut up top.

Very easy to build
Unless you have the tools  
pjcas18 : 7/19/2018 8:46 pm : link
and want to keep it there is zero reason to make this yourself.

between wood, tools and your time, it would cost you more than the $90 or whatever it is for the Target or Walmart set and it sounds like you live in the city maybe in an apartment (or at least have no yard and no use for it after you leave) so it's cool so many people can make their own cornhole set, but probably not the best use of your time or money.
