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. We offer custom color customization for those who want to spice it up. See our customization section below. Some neat designs can be achieved by carefully masking areas that you want the wood to show through. For those who love to DIY, our clear coat finish can be painted onto without problems.
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 Long Board size which is 4ftx2ft. The Tailgate
size is perfect for nearly every occasion.
We use high quality 1/2in thick 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.
Pro Boards are for those people who want the best. The Semi-Pro boards are for those who play several times a year but don't want to spend a bunch of money on a premium set. Bags for both styles are the same. The primary differences are as follows:
- Pro boards have built in bag storage.
- Pro boards have more stiffness for better deck response.
- Pro boards are a little heavier.
- Pro boards have a smoother finish (see bag slide below).
- Pro boards have more finishing coats.
- Pro boards are fully coated front and back.
Bag Slide - Bag slide is an important characteristic and is something we spent a long time working on. Our Pro boards have a very smooth finish. This results in terrific slide characteristics. There is no need for dust. Believe us, these boards are sweet. The Semi-Pro boards have less slide initially because they don't have as many finishing coats. Semi-Pro boards will break in over a several games and they too will have great slide characteristics.
If you are new to the game you may wonder how bag slide affects the game. If the bags are sliding a lot then it is more difficult to get a point by landing bags on the board; however, it is easier to get 3pts because the bag will slide right in the hole when the toss is in line with the hole (i.e. the bag lands on the center of the board in front of the hole). Players with good aim will prefer more slide because they want 3pts. Players with bad aim will want less slide because they want the bags to stay on the board. With practice your aim will get better so don't be discouraged if your bags are sliding off the deck. Adding arch to the toss is the best way to get bags to "stick" when they hit the deck. Watch our instructional video on cornhole tossing for more help with this.
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! Click here to order a new set of bags.
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.
Recycling your old filler material
will not only save you money but it will help our environment
too.

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.
