ThomasDenton 79 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 You could make one pretty easily (and cheaply) to whatever size you want with just a quick trip to Lowes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhschamps04 15 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I had thought about that but my "do it your self skills" are not up to par lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasDenton 79 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yeah, that's usually the problem with most of my stuff, lol. If you can't find it at a store like Walmart or Sears, your best bet might be to order it off the internet (a place like Walmart may not have what you want in store, but it might have it on their site, and they deliver to your store).

Hacker 82 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I wouldn't be surprise if you couldn't find someone near you who makes and sells them. Check the local trade journals etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasDenton 79 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I saw a guy set up just below Sams yesterday selling them. Saw VT and WVU boards. dont know price While I was doing my student teaching at Virginia Middle School in Bristol, the art teacher spent some of her free time making a couple of cornhole boards for some people. One was University of Kentucky and the other was Alabama. I think she charged something like $50 for each one (which if you look at some of the prices of the good boards, that's a pretty good deal, and she did really good work too).

redtiger 1,741 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 They really arent that hard to make. The only thing that is tough is the holes, and they could be done with a jig saw(usually done with a hole saw). My fieancees brother made a Duke one, used cabinent grade plyboard. Put the Duke basketball D on one and the Duke Football logo on the other, then put down a poly clear coad(kinda looks like a basketball floor) they looked great and he isint that skilled. His mom made the bags. Instructions/plans are all over the internet. I dont see how she made much profit at $50! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked it up and you could get everything at Lowes to build one for about $20-$25 (for one board of course). Sell for $50 and make $25-$30. I'm thinking about giving it a try myself.

redtiger 1,741 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) it takes 2-3 hours to make a set of boards(im sure it gets faster with each one you do) and then the painting takes at least an hour(for just a basic color scheme). You could make a profit but $25-30 for 3-4 hours work isint great(not counting making the bags). The complicated paint schemes are where the money is at(I dont have the skill to do that) Edited June 13, 2012 by redtiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
