Posted by Custom Cornhole, LLC on 20th Mar 2017
Just like any sports equipment, you want to keep your cornhole boards and bags in the best shape possible – especially if you participate in cornhole tournaments. These tips will help you keep your customized cornhole gear in great shape.
- Never store boards face to face – Storing your boards with the surfaces facing inward – it’s a great way to scrape the paint off. Store your boards with the backs together. Cover them with a tarp or cloth cover to prevent them from getting dirty and worn.
- Keep them cool and dry – Your cornhole boards are made of wood, so store them in a cool, dry place where to prevent warping. Your boards are painted with exterior gloss paint, but moisture damage can still become an issue if you don’t store your boards correctly.
- Be gentle – When setting up your boards and putting them away, never slam them down or throw them. They are built sturdily, but playing rough with them can still cause damage.
- Keep them cool and dry – Moisture can completely ruin your cornhole bags. They can develop mold and the inside materials can be ruined as well.
- Keep them inside – Cornhole boards are filled with corn. If you leave them outside they can attract animals like squirrels that will rip your bags open to get at the yummy corn inside.
- Freeze them – Freezing your cornhole bags for 24 hours on a regular basis can help your bags last longer. If you have room in your freezer, consider storing them there when not in use.
- Store accessories in a dry place – Your cornhole accessories can grow mold, or materials can be ruined by moisture.
- Turn them off – Be sure that your cornhole lights are turned off to prevent the battery from draining.
