Driveway Games All Weather Corntoss Bean Bag Cornhole Yard Game Set for Indoor and Outdoor Use with 2 Target Boards and 8 Bean Bags

January 2019: It’s still alive. Forget the shed, I store it under the deck out of sunlight but it sees all 4 seasons. It gets pressure washed before every BBQ season, so my nieces and nephews can come over and jump on it and pop the stand legs off...I pop them back in and get back to rocking. Cool part: Every year we get someone telling us “real cornhole games use wood and...” then about a year or two later they are asking for the url. So I hope they find this review too :) Thanks for reading my review and the update. October 2012 - UPDATE: No more parties this year so the game is in the shed for now. It's held up well and we will be going into next year with the same parts all in working order. I have come to appreciate even more that that bags are stored under the stand portion, that's great and makes it easy enough the older kids can clean it up without much drama. Also when the stands are on end facing the opposite direction, you can wrap a larger bungee around them and they just become a big block in the corner of the garage/shed etc. Also, If you manage to get the boards dirty and Fantastic doesn't work well, try patio furniture cleaner. So 6 months later and still pleased, would definitely buy these again. May 2012 - Original review below: The Corn Toss game has become a staple at all of our parties, so when I found an all weather version made by a quality USA company I was all but sold. Not because I could play outside in a monsoon, but because I could leave it outside for a weekend without concern of the weather and I figured it would be easy to clean. So far it has lived up to these ideals. The nice extra is due to its weather-resistant properties, I now have a beach game that I don't need to worry about chasing away any flying or bouncing parts from. I should mention that this set is a replacement for a set (from a big box store) which got a little wet from some unexpected rain and "fell out of shape" literally. Sad as we owned that one less than a year and paid almost as much. My 30 second inspection of the slightly more costly Driveway Games version is that we will have it significantly longer. So, the experience: from the get go, the experience is good. The box is labeled clearly and there are no mysteries to whats inside. You open the box and there are (2) big solid poly boards with legs attached, a couple pieces of styrofoam holding everything in place, and (4) of each color bean bag (red and blue) bearing the corn toss namesake. There are instructions, but I can summarize them here: flip the legs out on the boards, place them N paces apart, and get to throwing. My 7 year old niece pretty much took over the show once they were opened, so a complex operation this is not. My biggest concern with this was tossing the bags and how they would react, slide, or if the boards would be bouncy because they weren't made of a dense wood. That concern was eliminated with the first toss, they are fine. The nice part about the light colored plastic I found is when the sun starts to fade the boards are still easy to see until the sun is almost gone. Looks like they also make a night time light kit for them, but I haven't given that a shot yet. Overall the weight + construction of these is about what I hoped for when I clicked the buy button. The bags are also decent quality. We only have one weekend on the whole setup but the feeling overall is just sturdier (not heavier, just more well made) than ones I have used in the past. I'm glad I bought this set and would do it again now knowing what I know. The price is a little more than most - but buying the right stuff the first time is always cheaper than buying the wrong one twice. Hopefully this review has helped with that.

Spring has sprung and that means summer is on its way, and college football season is only 100 days away. Simply put, that means it’s time for backyard BBQ’s and soon after, tailgating (it’s required by law in the Midwest). For a while I’ve been wanting to build my own cornhole boards, but I’m prohibited by two things. One, I need to take the time to do it. Two, my wife says I’ve over build everything. She’s right, I like things to last and if I were to build my own boards, they’d probably be too heavy to carry around, but they could also be put in place as a truck ramp. So, with portability and time being big issues I decided finding a lightweight, portable cornhole set to be my best option. After searching around online I found the Driveway EZ Carry Portable All-Weather Cornhole Set. I have to say I am thrilled with this purchase. Granted it’s not wood, nor is it painted in my beloved scarlet and gray, but it is highly portable and fully meets my needs. Pros: Did I mention it’s portable? The two boards collapse to sandwich together, holding the bags inside while the sides latch. It ends up being only 3.5 inches thick and there’s a built-in handle that’s cut into the sides, no chance of that breaking. Nice. The legs themselves fold down from the back side of the board, with a cross-bar that folds down between the two to add extra support. These won’t collapse on bag impact like some of the other portable options, plus it remains sturdy giving a nice solid platform for game play. Carrying the it, it’s super light, making it easy to transport. This will help when tailgating and I don’t feel like carrying a lot of extra weight. The bags are full size, using a nice thick material and appear to be well sewn, I’ll update at the end of the season to remark on how they held up. Cons: I wouldn’t want to try it out as a ramp into a truck bed, but that’s my issue not the game’s. And it doesn’t come in my team colors, soon to be remedied by vinyl. Final remarks: I love it. This was the perfect purchase for my needs and I’m looking forward to a summer and fall filled with cornhole glory.

I got this for a summer BBQ and it was a big hit. We're not avid corn toss players so not much up on the official game, or how it compares to others. I have played a version of "bags" with a wooden board with folks from Michigan/Chicago. Here in Philadelphia, not as popular as there... It was fun for all ages, and I think a great game to have around at a party- and safe. yes, the bags might be a bit light...maybe. After a few hours of playing, the weight of the bags hitting the board made the hinge fail. (children may have pushed on the top when retrieving the bags out of the hole, but no one sat on or stood on the thing). The plastic hinge is really just a plastic bump in a plastic hole. The hinge stayed together, but stripped and the board would fall flat. We solved it for the night by placing bricks at the front and back of the board to keep it from splaying out and flattening. I will try drilling some holes and threading a nylon cord thru it and the stand to permanently fix this. But I'll keep it since sending it back would be expensive, and I think I can fix it without much trouble, and otherwise fun. But you would think they would have tested this design!!! They are sort of big and bulky, but we have the room to store it. Maybe not the best choice if you don't have the storage area.

Terrific corn hole set Will update review if the set doesn’t hold up when left out in the weather of the East Coast. It surely seems well made and the material appears to be weather proof.

Nice

I've had a 2X3 mini cornhole set for awhile now, and find that I enjoy the game enough to now go to a regulation size set. I also like the idea of not having to always worry about making sure I put it away every single time, due to precipitation concerns. So, I figured this regulation, plastic set would be what I needed. The set is boxed in a cardboard box with no extra protection, so any rough handling or accidental dropping onto the corners will most likely result in damages. Mine had one corner slightly dented in, but I didn't feel it was that big of a deal. Compared to a good quality regulation set, this plastic set is probably half the weight. However, unless you have very long arms, it could be a bit troublesome to carry. I solved this by drilling and installing rope handles one sides of each board. I've had no issues with the legs, like other reviewers, but I can see that you would want to be on the gentle side when they are deployed. You would not want to bear any body weight on it. If you're used to playing on a good quality board, you will have to adjust your technique for this board. It is a very slick surface, and there is significant bounce due to the hollowness. Changing to bags with a sticky side will help, otherwise you will need to throw with a very high trajectory if using the included bags. The included bags are regulation size and weight, and are of decent quality. Another issue for some, will be the loudness factor. This is also a result of the hollow cavity. Your neighbors will definitely know when you're playing cornhole with these boards. I now own a pro quality solid wood cornhole set, but I still enjoy using this set for when conditions are damp, for going to the beach, and for taking it to other peoples' parties.

After reading comments I was excited to get these boards. When we got them we set them out on flat sidewalk and they were very bouncy and hard to play with. We returned them and only received half of the money back due to a restocking fee. They were used very briefly as it didn’t take long to realize that these were not great boards. I don’t know how much better of condition we could have returned them in. I am very disappointed that $70 was completely wasted on these boards and that I am only getting $70 back. We returned them in the best condition possible.

I love the concept of this conhole set, and it could work well for the right person, but we found it was not up to our standards. The ability to snap together, handle for portability, and the quality of the bags were all great. (5 stars) The main issue we had was that one of the legs kept coming apart as we played, we snapped it back in place but it eventually came apart again. It seems the way the plastic was manufactured where the leg snaps into the board did not have the right size area to really be a secure fit. The other legs stayed fine, but this one was not manufactured right. (3 stars) The set played well overall, but as other reviews have said there was a bit too much "bounce" at times due to the design, but I think that can be expected for a waterproof set. (4 stars) If I needed a waterproof set I would still consider this, knowing it may not be perfect, but for us we returned it and got a different set.

We have friends with some wood cornhole games and they really have to take care of them and make sure to bring them in if its raining. After a long night of drinking in back yard and such the last thing i want to do at midnight is pack up cornhole, so this set is nice you can just leave it be. It also does have a plug in the back to fill the board with water we just havent done it yet since it works fine without.

Great set...sturdy and waterproof! Won't warp like particle board sets.

This game broke during the first use. The plastic is very thin and the back legs will not hold the board in place without buckling and laying flat on the ground. The notches that are meant to hold the feet in place do not work and will leave the board flat on the ground.

We have one set of plywood cornhole boards of the same smaller (than regulation) size. Obviously you cannot leave the plywood set out in the rain. This plastic set is good because you don't need to worry about the elements, but unfortunately the beanbags bounce and slide a lot more on the plastic than on the plywood version. The plastic set folds up nicely for travel if you want to toss it in the car for taking to a picnic or the beach.
