Bag Toss 2 is unique because it has a hole and a slot whereas Bag Toss
Classic just has a hole. A bag on the board is worth 1 point, a bag in the hole is worth 3 points and a bag in the slot is worth 5 points. The slot adds excitement to the game and
makes it even more fun to play.
Does size matter? Yes and no. The tournament series cornhole boards are 4ft long by 2ft wide verses the tailgate size which is 3ft long by 2ft wide. One might think the tailgate size would be more challenging because the deck area is smaller; however, in side by side tests, players found the landing bags on the deck equally as difficult. Difficultly is really dependent on how far the boards are separated apart. Because the separation distant (27ft pros, 24ft causal, 20ft junior) is measured from the leading (front) edge of the board, both the tailgate and tradition size boards have equal separation distance between them. Thus, both sizes have similar difficultly. With respect to portability and transporting, the tailgate size is much more user friendly. They fit in small cars like a honda civic or bmw 3 series and they are easy to carry long distances. With respect to cost, the tailgate size will be cheaper because there is less material, less finishing and lower shipping costs. But if you got to have the 4x2, then you got to have it. When we have events, we always bring both sizes out and we have a lot of fun on both of them.
Bag Toss boards come in either a Natural or Heritage finish. A Natural finish is several clear coats over the bare wood. A Heritage finish involves staining the wood then applying clear coats. Both finishes are amazing to look at and are very durable. The Heritage finish costs a bit more due to the extra step of staining. Our stain work is not furniture quality, but it still looks really good. We cannot guarantee stain uniformity. Each finish can be painted on for those that want to customize their own. Some neat designs can be achieved by carefully masking areas that you want the wood to show through.
The entire board is brush coated with an outdoor grade,
low VOC protective coating. Brushing on the coating is important because spraying wastes material to over spray. Low VOC is important
because typical oil-based coatings have a ton of terrible stuff that has to evaporate into our atmosphere to dry.
This was unacceptable to us so we searched long and hard for alternate
coating. We found an excellent
solution that is very durable but not cheap. Our clear coat costs about $60 a gallon and each set uses about 1/5th of a gallon. Cheaper sets are cheap because they skimp on the materials. We don't!
Our boards are of excellent quality and have a great
natural feel. Our competitors strive to make their boards as cheap
as possible while we strive to make our boards as best as possible. One of the best aspects of our boards is how easy they are to take with you. We designed these boards to be light-weight, stiff and strong. Easy to grab handles are integrated on all of our boards. We offer both the Tailgate size which is 3ftx2ft and the traditional size which is 4ftx2ft. The Tailgate
size is perfect for nearly every occasion.
We use high quality 1/2in birch plywood on all our boards.
This stuff is not cheap. The edges of the boards are finger joints that allow for bi-directional
fastening which adds strength. A full grown man
can stand on these boards without breaking. Let's see those plastic
boards do that. A center stiffener is added to minimize deck bounce (actually there are three center stiffeners on the tournament series).
The stand is cool because stows into the board for easy
storage and transportation. It also holds the bags and is a nice place to put stuff when playing.
Slide - Bag slide is an important characteristic and is something we spent a long time working on. Our manufacturing approach gives the same smooth finish to each board resulting in the perfect amount of slide. There is no need for dust. Boards that require dust to slide will change significantly if wet. Our boards allow the bags to slide in any type of weather. Overall, you will get more consistent results from our boards and bags.
Bags are an essential part of the game which you can't afford to go cheap on. They need to be well crafted and use high quality materials. Our bags are made from durable duck cloth (plain without any logos) which is double stitched using strong polyester thread. The filler is secret blend using primarily recycled plastic pellets. These pellets are truly remarkable as they have the right feel and are nearly indestructible. Best of all, you can wash our bags and they won't rot like corn does. Give our bags a try, we know you'll love'em!
Dust - Since our filler is nearly bomb proof, they do not create dust. If your boards require dust to slide, then you will not like our bags. But if you have our boards, the finish is tailored to have the perfect amount of slide without dust. Consistent slides, in any type of weather.
Recycling the Bag Filler -
The filler material is 100% reusable. It is
extremely durable and will last a lifetime. It's great that we
can put this recycled plastic to such a cool use; however, it
is important that we continue to recycle the filler after the
bags start to wear out. It is easy to recycle and cheaper
than buying new bags. Here is what you do: 1)
Purchase new fabric Recycle Bag Set. 2) These bags are
90% finished. There is a small opening which you use to pour your
old filler material into. Carefully pour your old filler material
into the new bag. 3)
Sew up the small opening. This is best done on a sewing machine
but hand threading works just fine too.

Medium Text: Basic lettering. Same on both boards. Text is placed on two surfaces: the front, side or back.
Large Text: Advanced lettering. Unique boards. Text is placed on all surfaces: the front, side and back.
Custom Graphics Options

As much as we would like your business, if you want to build your own, we support that. Below are the dimensions for Bag Toss 2 in inches. The slot is 6.00in x 2.75in with 1.0in corner radius. It took some trial and error to find the right size as we wanted to make it hard to get it in but not impossible. A novice might get it in the slot once or twice a game, but a pro might get it in once a round. The board shown below is the tailgate size which is 3ftx2ft. If you want the 4ftx2ft size, simply add a foot on the bottom and keep the slot and the hole in the same position relative to the top of the board. And if you want the classic version, the hole is 9.00in from the top instead of 12.00in. For more info on building your own Bag Toss (a.k.a. bean bag game or cornhole) set, click here.
