A regulation-size board built from composite decking material that one owner, the Chapstick4 channel, reviewed on video in 2018 and again in 2019 after leaving the set outdoors for a year. He found little bounce and a consistent slide, and a year of rain and snow left only slight wear to the print at the corners. Both videos are several years old, the top is held on with visible screws he disliked at first, and the store currently marks its all-weather boards as on backorder.
Full review
An owner's review from 2018
In a 2018 video, Chapstick4 reviews a set of Slick Woody's all-weather boards made from Trex composite decking material. The frame he shows, with a cross brace, two lengthwise support bars and Slick Woody's name on the leg brace, matches the underside pictured on the current All Weather listing.
He was surprised that the material was lighter than wood and assumed the support bars were there to control bounce. With them he noticed no major bounce, not much more than on the wooden pro boards he had owned for about ten years.
Screws in the playing surface
The printed top is screwed to the frame with recessed screws, including one in the middle of the board. Chapstick4 says he did not love that when he opened the box and thought the screws might pick at the bags, but found the boards worked fine.
He describes the surface as feeling a little rough yet says it slides very well, sticks well and plays very consistently. His verdict in 2018 was that he would recommend the boards, with a promise to report back if the printed top failed.
After a year outdoors
In a 2019 follow-up video, Chapstick4 says the boards had been outside for a little over a year without coming indoors, through rain, snow and sleet. He reports that they still played perfectly and still slid well, and that the only wear was the printed pattern wearing off a little at the corners.
He says he no longer notices the screws, was considering a second set so he would not have to worry about boards getting wet when camping, and highly recommends the boards.
What the listing says today
Slick Woody's lists the All Weather boards at $399.00 for a regulation 4 x 2 ft set with bags, a cut-in handle and leg and back braces. The store asks for one to two business days to build boards before shipping, and its header currently states that all-weather boards are on backorder. No newer hands-on review was found, so the findings above describe sets bought in 2018.

How it compares
The only entry on this page built to stay outdoors: the AllCornhole and GoSports boards are all wood. At $399.00 with bags it costs more than the AllCornhole ACL Comp boards ($299.99). The GoSports 4x2 Solid Wood Premium set also includes bags at $139.99, but Reviewed found wet bags left water marks on its lacquered wood.
