Direct answer
Waffle Games builds cornhole boards and wooden patio games for bars, breweries and restaurants, factory direct from its own plant in Yunhe, Zhejiang. Venues order from us for three reasons: boards that carry the venue’s own branding instead of a stock design, a regulation 4 x 2 ft size that works for league nights, and a minimum order of 100 sets that covers a single site or a small group rollout. The range covers cornhole boards in regulation 4 x 2 ft and tailgate 3 x 2 ft, cornhole bags in 8 to 16 oz duck cloth, giant 4 in a row, ring toss, ladder golf, washer toss and Molkky. Boards are UV printed with your artwork, Pantone matched, and finished with a hand-sanded clear coat. Orders ship FOB Ningbo or DDP, in 25 to 40 days after artwork sign-off.
Why cornhole is still the game that earns
A bar buys a patio game to hold a table for a second round, not to run a tournament. Cornhole does that better than anything else you can put outside.
Two people or eight, it works
A regulation 4 x 2 ft board set plays properly with two people and absorbs a whole patio when four teams rotate. No referee, no setup, no learning curve.
The bags are the consumable
6 x 6 in duck cloth in 8, 12 and 16 oz fills. They wear out and they walk off. Bags re-order on their own, in bulk sets of eight, without touching the boards.
One more game on the patio
Giant 4 in a row is the usual second purchase. All-weather frame and discs, it stands outdoors all season and it suits guests who will not throw a bag.
Games that survive a patio
Ring toss, washer toss, ladder golf and Molkky, all in the same timber and finish so the patio looks like one scheme rather than a clearance shelf.
Your venue on the board
Branding that lasts longer than a sticker
A patio game is a piece of your fit-out, and it gets handled by customers every night. Printed vinyl lifts at the edges within a season. We print into the wood instead.
- UV direct print: three UV print lines apply your artwork into the timber fibre rather than onto a film, so it does not peel or silver at the corners.
- Pantone matched: send a Pantone reference and your brand colour is reproduced on the deck, the crate and the packaging.
- Laser engraving: an alternative for a quieter, more premium look, and the method we use for hardwood decks and gift programmes.
- Free digital mockup: a visual of your board with your artwork applied, back within 24 hours, before you commit to anything.
- Deck options: 3/4 in cabinet grade birch plywood as standard, 18 mm competition grade for league play, or a hardwood deck for a higher-end room.
What venues put on a patio
Most venue orders are a single site. Group and franchise buyers order for several sites at once, which is where a second order usually gets easier rather than harder.
Cornhole boards
Regulation 4 x 2 ft, tailgate 3 x 2 ft and junior sizes, in birch, pine, beech or black walnut. Fifteen models to pick from, or a deck built to your spec.
Cornhole bags
Duck cloth, double sided or single, 8 to 16 oz. Supplied in bulk so you can top up a patio without replacing the boards.
Accessories
Board lights for a late licence, scorekeepers, distance cords and carrying cases, so a patio set ships complete.
Giant 4 in a row
All-weather frame in different sizes and colourways. The reliable second game for a patio, and the one that gets photographed most.
Ring toss
Rope and rubber rings on a hardwood base. Nothing to break, nothing to lose, and it works on a small patio as well as a beer garden.
Washer toss
Solid board with metal washers. Heavier than cornhole, so it stays put in wind, and there are no bags to replace.
Ladder golf
Folding ball ladder sets with bolas. Packs down into a crate, which suits venues with no permanent storage on site.
Molkky and skittles
Numbered skittle game with a throwing log. A good point of difference for a taproom that already has cornhole.
