I Am Going To Build A Corn Hole Set, Need Advice

[Hotsauce]

Anyone ever built a set of corn hole boards???

I am going to make Panthers themed boards.

I have looked at a couple of plans to make them. And I have also looked at a couple different designs by people who build them to sell. I am pretty good with woodworking, and have all of the tools to do the job.

I will use this on the beach probably every weekend, Here are some things that I am planing on doing, a little different...

I am going to use 2x3s instead of 2x4s for the base. It will make it alot lighter, and easy to carry.

I am also going with 1/2 plywood as opposed to 3/4, again for the weight issue.

I am going to use only stainless steel on all bolts, screws, nails, etc....(will help it stay together longer, due to the salt water.)

I have heard that if you use decals, they will start to wear down overtime. I may decide to use decals, then poly urethane over top of it. I am not the best artist, so painting the panthers logo would not come out well! Anyone know of a stencile pattern?

My real question is with the bean bags. I would like to get some with designs. I have googled them, haven't seen any designs I like. I would prefer to get the new logo, but it will probably take a while for that material to hit the shelves. I would like to also get high quality ones too, something that can withstand abuse, sand, salt water, etc... I guess my best bet will probably be ordering offline.

Anyone have experience building them, to offer pointers? Or can someone suggest a good website for some HQ bean bags at a cheaper price?

TL;DR = building Panther boards, does anyone have ideas for the design I should put on there? Anyone know of a good website for bean bags?

Thanks

I'm not an expert but wouldn't the 1/2 plywood make the bags bounce more.

I played on a set this weekend that was 1/2, with the 2x3s as a base, and they were not too bouncy. I think if you use 1x4s, them it's bouncy

I've only played on one set that my buddy owns and I'm not sure what the thickness is.

If you used PVC instead of 2x3s, it would be lighter, and you could disassemble it.

Re stencil: just make a print out of the panthers logo and use a razor blade to cut it out. It's really that easy.

Got a buddy that makes these on the side. I think it's a thin plywood so it's not too heavy but durable.
