The Best Cornhole Boards: Find Out Who Makes Them and What the Best Materials Are
“The best cornhole boards in the world.” Pretty bold statement right?
Not only do we believe we make the best cornhole boards, but we also believe this to be a fact. At Slick Woody's, we are confident that many of our customers would tell you the same thing.
It might sound a bit cocky and a bit over-confident, but we have done the research to put ourselves in a position to make a conclusion like this. Here’s why we truly believe our boards are unmatched:
-
The features and quality of our boards and materials
-
Our experience buying boards from our top competitors
- Slick Woody’s the brand, and the people who endorse us
The Features & Qualities of the Best Cornhole Boards
Here at Slick Woody’s, we put quality and performance before anything else. There are plenty of places to get cornhole boards and cornhole accessories around the country, but there are not many places that think through the user experience like we do at Slick Woody’s.
We prefer to put ourselves in the shoes of our end customer. Because we are all cornhole players ourselves, we are always thinking of ideas to make the game better and ensure we offer the best cornhole boards.
The Frame
All of our board frames are made with 1” by 4” hardwood poplar. Our wood is computer-cut to ensure the finest cuts, and put together using pocket screws to hide all hardware. This creates a smooth, clean, and professional look that people admire about our boards.
We add a built-in back-brace on all of our boards to prevent bags from having too much bounce when they land. This brace is a signature feature on our boards and makes for a much greater playing experience.
As you might know, cornhole boards can be very tough to carry around. Because of this, we decided to cut two handles into the frame of the boards to ensure an easy way to carry and transport your boards.
The Board Top
Our board tops are the best in the industry. We use ⅝” high grade wood to make our tournament board tops. It is a durable and perfect surface for playing cornhole. High grade wood is the smoothest and flattest plywood on the market and makes for a great playing experience.
We use a proprietary process where we adhere a vinyl layer to the tops of our boards. After this layer is added to the board top, we can then print any stock or custom image onto the board. UV inks are used when printing on any of our boards to ensure the sun does not fade images and artwork after prolonged exposure.
Lacquers and varnishes are not used here at Slick Woody’s. The reason being is the idea that no matter what the temperature or humidity is outside, your board will still have the same consistent play. Hot, cold, wet, or dry, no matter what, your board will provide the same type of experience, which is something you can’t find anywhere else.
Board Legs
We use two simple bolts on the legs to make sure there is an easy-to-use pull out system. We have a support crossbar to help support the legs and keep your boards sturdy throughout an entire game.
Our boards can hold quite a bit of weight and it will be very hard for you to collapse a board (unless you decide to pull a semi-truck on top of them).
Our competitors’ board legs are not connected with a support crossbar like ours. This can make it more difficult than needed to set up your boards; not to mention the risk of your boards collapsing.
Our experience buying from the top competitors in our industry
As I mentioned before, the number one thing we care about here at Slick Woody’s is the quality of our boards and the user experience when playing cornhole on them.
We decided to buy a few sets of boards from the top competitors and players in our industry, and what we found out was astonishing to say the least.
The pictures shown are from the top company in the cornhole industry. The boards we ordered from them looked like they were thrown together in a very short period of time. The paint around the inside of the hole was smeared, the wood was chipping off on the bottom of the frame (unlike our pocket screws), and there were no handles either. No handles, really?
The paint job was average to say the least. It didn’t seem like they used UV inks, meaning that long exposure to the sun would make these boards fade.
To be honest, the boards looked like they were thrown together by someone in a garage who didn’t have much time.
Slick Woody’s The Brand
We take our brand and image very seriously at Slick Woody’s, and we refuse to put out any products that we don’t absolutely love ourselves. Quality, quality, quality! This is what we stand for and live by here. If it costs us a few more dollars to get the best features for our boards and other products, you can believe that we will do it.
There is a reason the 7x world cornhole champion, Matt Guy, endorses our boards. Matt liked our boards so much we actually brought him on to help us engineer our boards in an even better way. This relationship has been a great experience for us. Matt loves our boards and we love using his expert input to make our boards better in any way that we can.
We work with some of the biggest companies in the world. Whether it’s Barstool Sports, Hooters, Anheuser Busch, Staples, or any of the other large corporations we work with, they know what kind of quality products we produce, and that will never change.
Slick Woody’s is truly the premier cornhole and tailgating company in the world. With the popularity of cornhole growing at a very fast rate, we plan to take advantage of this growth and keep bringing our customers amazing and well crafted products and cornhole accessories. All of our products are 100% made in the USA and are built to last. You won’t find this quality anywhere else when it comes to the cornhole and tailgating niche.
