Washer Toss: Choose the Set That Fits Your Rules

Start with the target: a box with one center cup or a board with three holes. Then check the included washers, storage size and that model's playing distance. A tournament label alone does not tell you the rules.

Washer Toss, in one breath

Cup boxes and three-hole boards use different playbooks. Match your target below, then agree on distance, cancellation and the winning score before the first toss.

Before you shop

Choose the playbook, then the equipment

For a cup-box game, GoSports' Premium Birch Wood set is a verified manufacturer example: two felt-lined wood targets with PVC center cups and eight coated steel washers. It is not a three-hole board. The link below goes to that exact birch model.

For three-hole play, look for two boards with near, middle and far scoring holes, matching washers and a setup guide. WashersGame publishes a 10 ft rope setup and three washers per player. Triumph's 2-in-1 set below is a compact three-hole option; the GoSports boxes are a different format.

We checked the sources on September 16, 2026, and the listings on September 27, 2026. Each of the four sets below links to the exact Amazon listing its details come from. They are not ranked, and we have not tested them hands-on, so the notes stick to published contents, sizes and formats.

Three-hole boards: Triumph 2-in-1

Triumph Sports 2-in-1 Three-Hole Washer and Bean Bag Toss

Triumph Sports' 2-in-1 set has two 26 x 10 inch platforms, each with three netted scoring holes, a padded washer surface and detachable legs. Flip the platforms for three-hole bean bag toss. It ships with six bean bags and six washers.

Pros
  • Three scoring holes per board, with nets that catch the washers.
  • Flips to bean bag toss, so one set covers two games.
Watch for
  • Compact boards, smaller than full-size three-hole washer boards.
  • Six washers in total; agree on how many each player throws.
Buying decision

A compact way into three-hole scoring. Groups that want full-size boards should compare dimensions before buying.

Starter cup targets: Franklin

Franklin Sports Starter Washer Toss, 2 Targets, 6 Washers

Franklin's Starter Washer Toss has two foldable 12 x 12 inch targets, six steel washers with built-in bottle openers and a carrying box. The listing does not state the target material or weather resistance.

Pros
  • Targets fold flat for storage and travel.
  • Everything packs into the included carrying box.
Watch for
  • Six washers, three per side; some rule sets use more.
  • Do not assume weather resistance; store it dry.
Buying decision

A simple starter set once you have chosen a cup-target ruleset and measured your playing space.

GoSports Premium Birch Wood cup boxes

GoSports Premium Birch Wood Washer Toss, 8 Washers

The manufacturer-confirmed model is GoSports Premium Birch Wood, WT-02-WOOD: two single-cup targets and eight coated steel washers. The link goes to that birch set.

Manufacturer specifications

Pros
  • The specified birch model includes felt-lined targets and PVC center cups.
  • Four red and four blue washers are supplied; the targets latch together for storage.
Watch for
  • This is not a three-hole board set.
  • GoSports notes that washer impacts may dent the wood. Check the instructions supplied with your model.
Buying decision

A cup-box option to check if you want the maker's listed eight-washer format. Confirm your event accepts it before buying for competition.

All-weather cup targets: Washoos

Driveway Games Washoos All-Weather Washer Toss

Driveway Games' Washoos set uses two weatherproof HDPE targets, each 14.5 x 14.5 x 4.5 inches, that nest together, plus four red and four blue coated washers. Its listed scoring is 3 points in the center cup and 1 in the base.

Pros
  • Driveway Games lists the HDPE targets as weatherproof, so a damp lawn is less of a worry than with bare wood.
  • Nesting targets pack small for tailgates.
Watch for
  • A single-cup target, not a three-hole board.
  • Smaller than wood boxes, so agree on your throwing distance.
Buying decision

A compact, weatherproof option if you mainly play at tailgates, the beach or on a small patio.

From the commissioner

How to choose a washer toss set

  • Match your group first. If friends or an event already use a particular format, buy compatible targets and washers and use their published rules.
  • Check both the playing lane and stored size. A 10 ft rope or 15 ft target separation does not include all the room occupied by the targets and the people throwing.
  • Count the contents. GoSports' birch set lists eight washers; Triumph Premium lists six 2-inch washers. A universal 2.5-inch replacement is not a safe assumption for every set.
  • For three-hole play, confirm that the actual listing shows three holes per board and includes that board's scoring instructions. A cup box does not become a three-hole set because its listing says tournament.
  • Check care instructions, handles, latches and replacement parts. GoSports explicitly notes that repeated metal-washer impacts can dent its wood; a finish is not proof of weather resistance.

Washer Toss buying FAQ

Is the GoSports Premium Washer Toss Set a three-hole game?

GoSports' Premium Birch Wood model WT-02-WOOD has two boxes with PVC center cups, felt-lined bottoms and eight coated steel washers. It is a single-cup box format. Confirm that model and its contents on the retailer listing.

Are these links for exact products?

Yes. As of September 27, 2026, each of the four Amazon links goes to the exact set described in its notes. Listings can change, so confirm the maker, target design and washer count on the page before ordering.

Are all washer toss washers the same size?

No. The current Triumph Premium listing specifies six 2-inch washers; other sets use different sizes and counts. Use the dimensions and replacement part specified for your model.

Do three-hole boards need more space than cup boxes?

Not necessarily. WashersGame specifies a 10 ft connecting rope for its three-hole boards, while the cited Triumph cup-box manual specifies 15 ft separation. Measure your own set's full playing area, including the targets and room for players.
