In short: General contractor Tom Silva demonstrates the precise woodworking techniques required to build professional-grade cornhole boards, ensuring your DIY project meets official regulation standards.

In this guide, Tom Silva walks Kevin O’Connor through the construction process using kiln-dried lumber and interior plywood. The project involves cutting specific dimensions for the front, back, and sides to ensure the width and length are regulation-compliant, followed by attaching the plywood base and installing legs.

The build can be completed in one day, though a full finish—including an optional custom decal—requires two additional days.
