In the past decade, the game of cornhole has skyrocketed in popularity. No longer just a game that some families and friend groups play in the back yard after a barbeque, cornhole has become a favorite for fundraising events, and corporate get-togethers, and is even a professional televised sport.

If you love cornhole and play on a regular basis, you need to right equipment to ensure you are practicing with regulation bags and board and to elevate your game—and image—to the next level.

Here are some unique ideas for designs and patterns for your next custom cornhole boards. 

Official Cornhole Boards

If you’re a serious cornhole player—or just want to ensure you’re practicing with the right equipment, you need to make sure your boards follow the ACA (American Cornhole Association) regulations and standards. These boards need to be 23 ½-24 inches by 47 ½-48 inches and at least a half inch thick. The front standing height should be between three and four inches and the rear standing height should be 12 inches. The hole diameter needs to be within ¼ inch of six inches and nine inches from the top of the board and 12 inches from the sides of the board. 

Why to Get Custom Cornhole Boards

While there’s certainly nothing wrong with using plain regulation boards, you can take your game and event to the next level by getting creative. If you’re holding a corporate or fundraising event, customized cornhole boards can help reinforce your branding and you can give boards away to winners or raffle them off to raise money for your cause. If you’re playing for fun, you can show off your team spirit, choose fun art designs, or choose a classic design that your friends and family will love.
