What Does a Cornhole Set Include?

Ordering a cornhole set should be easy. The hardest part is choosing your design. While we can’t make those decisions for you, we can certainly provide you some guidance of what to expect with your options. 

It’s a good idea to know what you’re getting. Basically, you’re going to receive a full set that you can play a complete game of cornhole with. But let’s expand on that just a bit. 

What Do You Need to Play Cornhole?

How much have you played cornhole? Do you consider yourself an expert, or are you just starting to play? If you’ve played before, do you know the basic setup for the game? 

Each cornhole game needs two boards and two sets of beanbags. These are the basic supplies. You will also need people to play the game and some way to keep track of the score. There are several different options for scorekeeping, but just know you may need a pen and paper if you don’t have a scorecard. 

Apart from the basics, there are some optional things you can add to the board. We’ll get to those a little later. 

When you purchase cornhole sets from Skips Garage, you get the following items:

  • Cornhole boards of choice (2 for a full set)
  • Beanbags of choice (8 for a full set)

You can add things like accessories or carrying cases to your set as well. 

Cornhole Boards

The cornhole boards are probably the most important part of your set. They set the stage so you can play the game. Admittedly, this is the hard part, but we try to make designing your boards as simple as possible.

If you have an idea for a customized design you want, you can reach out to us or use the design your own board tool. You can also browse through the hundreds of designs on our website and see if you prefer one of those options rather than creating your own. 

It’s totally up to you. One of the great things about custom cornhole sets is that you get to be totally in control of creating a design that you will enjoy for many years to come. 

Our standard boards are 24 inches wide by 48 inches long, which is regulation length. We use real wood and every board is handmade.

Cornhole Bags

Next, you’ll choose your cornhole bags. Each cornhole set comes with 8 total bags - 4 bags for each side of the game. 

When you choose your board, you can select either corn-filled bags or all-weather bags. The only difference is what’s inside the bags. Both fillings are allowed by tournament regulations, so it’s your preference. 

Corn-filled bags have long been a favorite. However, the corn can wear down over time or change slightly. All-weather bags have a plastic bead filling instead. Regardless of which option you choose, they weigh the same according to regulations. 

The exterior of the bag is the same on all bags. Our colors include the following:

  • Brown
  • Black 
  • White 
  • Gray
  • Orange
  • Purple
  • Royal Blue
  • Red
  • Dark Green
  • Yellow
  • Gold
  • Navy 
  • Lime Green
  • Pink 
  • Light Blue
  • Maroon

There’s a color to match any design out there. Most people prefer two different colors to keep the teams separate as much as possible. 

That’s it for a typical cornhole set. You get high-quality customized boards and beanbags. However, you can always add any of the following extras to your purchase. 

Additional Accessory Options

You might decide that you need more accessories for your set. We have plenty to offer. Some accessories can be used to safely store and move your bags, while others might just be used for fun. 

We also have scoring accessories to help you keep score accurately. Did we mention that cornhole accessories ship free? 

Check out some other options: 

Board Lights: Board lights are so much fun! If you play in the dark or you host gatherings and parties, it’s a great way to spruce up your boards and give them some added visibility in the process. You can use lights that make the hole glow, lights that line the frame, or even both if you prefer.

Carrying Case: We have a great carrying case that can be beneficial for taking your boards on the go and protecting them in storage. The carrying cases hold both boards and have a handle you can carry over your shoulder. You can also put accessories and beanbags in the case. It’s a heavy-duty polyester material with a structured inside coat for added protection. We also recently upgraded the zipper to a luggage-grade design. 

Score Keepers: Finally, we have score keepers. These are magnetic scoreboards that you can stick to the edge of the board on the top end. You use the magnets to track your points throughout the game. You can easily attach these directly to the board. This comes with two magnetic scoreboards and the necessary magnets.
