Protective and decorative coverings applied to the surface of cornhole game boards are designed to enhance aesthetics and provide a smooth playing surface. These coverings are typically adhesive-backed vinyl, allowing for easy application and customization. For instance, a set of plain cornhole boards can be transformed with vibrant designs, logos, or personalized images using these applied surfaces.
The utilization of these coverings offers several advantages. They protect the underlying wood from scratches, weather damage, and general wear and tear, extending the lifespan of the game boards. Furthermore, they provide an opportunity for branding, personalization, or artistic expression. Historically, players would paint or stain their boards. Now, these coverings offer a more efficient and less permanent option for achieving a professional and visually appealing finish.
