What Are Backyard / Recreational Cornhole Bags?

Recreational cornhole bags are built for simple, casual enjoyment — not advanced competitive play. Typically made from duck cloth, canvas, or synthetic fabrics, these bags prioritize durability, value, and fun over tournament-level precision.

Common features include:

• Heavy-duty duck cloth or canvas

• Single-speed fabric (consistent slide feel)

• Resin or corn filling

• Double-stitched seams

• Bright colors and family-friendly designs

• Budget-friendly price tags

These bags are ideal for homes, parks, schools, cabins, rentals, and social gatherings.
