Corn hole plans

gmac

Anyone have plans for the dimensions etc for a corn hole board set?  Played it in the States when I was down there and thought it would be a fun thing to make for the boys this summer. Not sure how angled it needs to be, size etc. I'm sure the web has plans but I get my best advice here so I'm starting here.
Thanks

Cut the hole the size of the mini

When I was in college we made a bunch of these and went around to tailgates selling them. One of our roommates used to paint them with gameday rivalry stuff. If you have all the materials it shouldn't take you more than 90 minutes with a helper to build. 

Yallawood has some good instructions. http://www.yellawood.com/projects/project-plans/corn-hole.aspx?gclid=CIDbpojR_tMCFUUvgQodJzgDeA

Make sure you make the legs foldable for easy storage and don't leave your corn bags outside or the squirrels will steal them. And the top needs to be painted to help the bags slide.

You know, it's funny. When I was a kid growing up in rural Indiana ( a long time ago), corn hole had an entirely different  and not so benign connotation. That's all I'm saying.

That site doesn't seem legit.

Build a beer pong table instead! Only issue is wind.

We've made a few sets, pretty straightforward.  We like to use finish quality plywood for the top and seal it with 6+ coats of polyacrylic so you get good protection and slide.  Paint or stain whatever you want on it then the poly.  We don't leave them outside.  Attach the 2x4s to the bottom of the plywood, don't attach them to each other or it will twist eventually.  Found out the hard way.

I'll take "Things Said on the Set of a Gay Porno" for $500 please Alex.

well, the fact that the boys are 10, 12, 15 and 17 is sort of a issue too

I'm from Indiana too and had only heard your definition as well until I moved to Texas.  "Want to play some cornhole?"..."Excuse me?"
