Washer Toss Washers: The Only Set That Publishes a Size

Q: What size are washer toss washers?

The only published figure is GSE's: 2.625 in diameter, 1.2 oz per washer. GoSports publishes neither a diameter nor a weight, claiming consistent weight without stating one.

Q: How do I know replacement washers will fit my box?

Measure your own cup — the maker probably did not publish it. GoSports states its set meets regulation guidelines but publishes no cup diameter. Measure, then compare against GSE's published 2.625 in.

Q: Does washer weight affect the game?

Yes. A heavier washer resists wind and skips out less; a lighter one bounces. GSE publishes 1.2 oz each; the others publish nothing, so mixing packs risks an inconsistent set.

Q: Plastic shell or powder coat?

Powder coat is bonded and chips; a plastic shell splits and peels. The powder-coated pack publishes no diameter, weight or thickness. GSE's stainless core means that when the shell goes, what is underneath does not rust.

Q: Why do replacement washers have bottle openers in them?

Because the game is played with a drink in the other hand. The caveat: a cut-out changes how a washer falls, and GoSports publishes no weight for either version. GSE includes an opener and still publishes a weight.

Q: Can you buy fewer than eight washers?

No — every pack here is eight washers, a complete set of four per side. If you have lost one you are buying eight, so keep the matching old ones as spares.

Verdict: buy the GSE 8-pack. It is the only replacement washer on sale that publishes a diameter and a weight — 2.625 inches and 1.2 ounces — which is the difference between checking that it fits your box and hoping. Take the flag design or the red and blue split; they publish an identical specification and the red and blue version is cheaper and matches how the scoring works. Buy the GoSports pack only if price is the whole decision, and the powder-coated pack only if you want the finish and accept that nothing about it is published.

This is a replacement-part page, which means it has exactly one job: help you buy something that matches what you already own. That turns out to be surprisingly hard in this category, and the reason is worth setting out.

The whole decision

Two sellers publish a size. Three do not.

A washer has to drop cleanly into the cup in the middle of your box. Too wide and it wedges or bounces off the rim; much too small and it rattles through without the satisfying stop. So diameter is not a nice-to-have specification here, it is the only one that decides whether the purchase works.

Consistency

Why weight matters more than it sounds

Washer toss is a game of fine distinctions — a washer in the cup, a washer on the board, a washer off. Weight is what makes those distinctions repeatable: a heavier washer holds its line in a breeze and is less likely to skip out of the cup it just landed in.

GSE publishes 1.2 oz per washer. GoSports' listing claims consistent weight for accurate tosses and then never states the weight, which is an unusual thing to advertise without quantifying. The practical consequence is about mixing: if you lose two washers and buy a pack from a different seller, you now have a set where half the washers have a published weight and half do not, and no way to know whether they match.

The tidy answer is to replace all eight at once and keep the survivors as spares. Every pack in this category is sold as eight anyway, so this costs you nothing.

Why the page exists

This is the cornhole-bags pattern

The most-read product page on this site is cornhole bags — not the cornhole set roundup, the bags. Consumables get bought repeatedly, researched carefully, and compared on numbers, and washer toss has exactly the same structure: a set you buy once and a pack of metal you replace.

The difference is documentation. Cornhole has the ACL publishing bag dimensions and speed ratings, which is why our bag speed numbers guide can be precise. Washer toss has nobody, which is why this page can only tell you which two packs publish a figure at all.

Skip this if

Skip this if your set's cup is undersized. 2.625 in is the figure to measure your own box against first, because almost no washer-toss maker publishes a cup diameter to check it against.

Stainless core inside a plastic shell, so it will not rust through
Stated waterproof, which matters for a game left outdoors

FAQ

Questions people actually ask

What size are washer toss washers?

The only figure published anywhere in this category is GSE's: 2.625 inches in diameter and 1.2 ounces per washer. GoSports, which makes the birch set many of these replacements are going into, publishes neither a diameter nor a weight for its washers — it claims consistent weight without stating one. So 2.625 in is the single checkable number in the category, which is why those packs top this page.

How do I know replacement washers will fit my box?

Measure the cup yourself, because the maker almost certainly did not publish it. Our washer toss page records that GoSports states its set meets regulation size guidelines but publishes no box size, no cup diameter and no throwing distance. So the honest method is a tape measure on your own cup, then compare it against the 2.625 in GSE publishes — the washer needs to drop through with room to spare, not wedge.

Does washer weight affect the game?

Yes, and it is the reason to care about a published figure. A heavier washer resists wind and is less likely to skip out of the cup; a lighter one floats and bounces. GSE publishes 1.2 oz each. Every other pack here either says nothing about weight or, in GoSports' case, claims the washers have consistent weight without ever saying what that weight is. If you are replacing only some of your washers, mixing published and unpublished weights is how a set ends up inconsistent.

Plastic shell or powder coat?

Powder coat is bonded to the metal and wears by chipping; a plastic shell is sleeved over it and eventually splits and peels, which is the usual end of a cheap washer. The powder-coated pack here is the most expensive on the page and publishes no diameter, no weight and no thickness, so you are buying the finish and nothing checkable. GSE's answer — stainless steel inside a plastic shell — at least means that when the shell goes, what is underneath does not rust.

Why do replacement washers have bottle openers in them?

Because the game is played in a garden with a drink in your other hand, and it is a genuinely useful piece of design. The honest caveat is that a cut-out changes how a washer sits and falls, and since GoSports publishes no weight for either its plain or its bottle-opener version, you cannot compare the two on paper. GSE's packs include a bottle opener and still publish a weight, which is the better combination.

Can you buy fewer than eight washers?

Not from any of the sellers here. Every pack in this category is eight washers, which is a complete set — four per side. If you have lost one, you are buying eight, and the practical answer is to keep the old ones that still match as spares rather than mixing a new pack in with an old one halfway through.

Why you can check our work

We have not played these. Every figure above is copied from a manufacturer's published listing or a governing body's published rules, and named so you can verify it. Where a maker publishes nothing, the field is blank rather than filled in. How we pick explains the whole method, including what would change a recommendation.

Every figure on this page is copied from one of these sources. If you find one that is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
