Cornhole is a bean bag toss game played on two slanted boards with a hole near the top. Regulation boards are 4 by 2 feet, while 3 by 2 foot boards are often sold as a tailgate size. Some sets use baltic birch plywood, others use MDF or an aluminum frame, and the choice affects weight, bounce and how easily the set travels.
The six sets below run from handmade-in-the-USA plywood boards to folding aluminum sets with a carry case. Sizes, materials and contents come from each product’s listing page. We have not used these boards ourselves, and weight, build and made-in claims are the makers’ own.

Mistakes to Avoid
- Assuming every set includes bags.

- Trusting a single weight field without reading the text.
