Everything you need to know about regulation cornhole bags — size, weight, materials, and more.
Whether you’re buying your first set or stocking up for a tournament, here are the most common questions we get about official cornhole bags.
Each cornhole bag must be a minimum of 6 inches by 6 inches. Some bags run as large as 8 inches by 8 inches, but they should always be square.
Regulation bags are typically made from waterproof duck canvas (duck cloth). Twill and synthetic suede are also acceptable materials.
Traditionally bags were filled with corn. Most modern bags use plastic resin pellets for durability and water resistance; some use beans. We fill all of our bags with plastic resin.
Regulation cornhole bags weigh between 14 and 16 ounces. Bags outside that range can result in disqualification at sanctioned events.
Bags are made from two square pieces of fabric sewn together with a quarter-inch, double-stitched seam using durable upholstery thread, which keeps the fill from leaking during play.
There are no color regulations. Custom colors, designs, and embroidery are all allowed — just pick colors that contrast with the board and your opponent’s bags for easy scoring.
Check with the seller for confirmation that the bags meet regulation size, weight, and construction standards, or look for that information on the manufacturer’s product page.
