How to Build a Corn Hole Scoreboard with Drink Holder

Step 1: Cut the Boards

The scoreboard is made of 2 boards cut at 10-1/4″ wide by 42″ long. This can be a done using a table saw.

Step 2: Cut the Feet

I measured 2″ in from the sides and bottom for a cut out to create the feet. I used a roll of tape to create the curve for the corners.

Step 3: Cut out the Cup Holders

Cut two boards at 4″ x 10-1/4″ and one at 1-1/2″ x 4″ for the vertical support.

Then mark the cut outs for the drink holders (about 3″ in diameter) on one board and round off the corners. Once I started cutting I decided to round them vs the 45 shown below. I also added a slot for a wine glass which wasn’t really necessary since the opening for the drink was so wide already.

Step 4: Drill the Holes

I drew straight lines down one of the boards, spaced equally from the sides. Then I found center, marked it on each line and spaced 22 holes 1-1/2″ apart. Find the right drill bit for the tees you are using. Practice on a scrap piece of wood to make sure you’re happy with the fit.

Step 5: Assemble the Drink Holder

First, I drilled pocket holes on the underside of the top and bottom boards used for the drink holder.

Then, with I glued and nailed it together with 1-1/4″ brad nails.

Step 6: Finish and Assemble

I started off by painting where the two stripes would go with yellow exterior paint. Then I taped off straight lines centered over the holes with 2″ painters tape and painted the boards and drink holder blue.

Then, once the paint was dry, I installed the drink holder using 1-1/4″ pocket screws.

Next I added 1″ white adhesive numbers to the board in between each hole.

Finally, I installed the hinges to the inside of the boards. If I had to do it over again I would have attached the drink holder last to make the hinge installation a little easier. With the drink holder on the boards wont lay flat.
