Outdoor Games

Outdoor games are what keep people at the pool after the swimming is done. The problem with most of them is material. Wooden cornhole boards warp, cardboard and plastic games crack after one season, and everything has to be dragged back into the garage before it rains. Everything here is molded from UV stabilized resin, so you set it up once and leave it out.

What you can shop

• Cornhole sets with weather resistant boards and bags.
• Ping pong tables built for permanent outdoor placement.
• Poolside basketball for shallow ends and sport pools.
• Ring toss and washers, the compact throwing games for smaller decks.
• Checkers, tic tac toe, dominoes and four in a row in oversized outdoor formats.

Choosing for your space

Throwing games need a lane. Cornhole runs 27 feet at regulation, or 20 to 21 feet for casual family play, and the lane should never cross a walkway. Ring toss and washers need far less room and tolerate uneven ground. Board style games such as giant checkers and four in a row work best on a flat deck and are the great equalizer when you have players of very different ages.

Built to stay outside

Colour runs through the resin rather than sitting on top as paint, so scuffs do not show as bare spots and nothing needs repainting. Cleaning is a hose rinse. Most games ship freight with delivery included and make strong add ons alongside a furniture order.
