Commercial Grade Outdoor Chessboard with 18" Squares
Free Standard Shipping
Description
The Commercial Grade Outdoor Chessboard with 18" Squares is designed for customers who want a premium, durable playing surface that can remain outdoors year-round. Made in the USA from commercial-grade hard plastic, this board provides excellent weather resistance, long-term durability, and a polished, professional appearance. The surface is self-draining, easy to maintain, and engineered to handle all climates with minimal upkeep.
This board includes integrated safety edge ramps that create a smooth transition to ground level, reducing trip hazards and giving the chessboard a finished, high-end border. The 18-inch square size is ideal for larger giant chess sets, including 2-foot, 3-foot, and 4-foot models, as well as 10-inch and 14-inch MegaChess checkers. It is the perfect option for customers who want a substantial, visually impressive board with commercial-level performance.
The chessboard performs best on hard, flat surfaces such as decks, patios, concrete, or flagstone. It is not recommended for grass when using the safety ramps because the lightweight edges may elevate unevenly. For grass installations, simply remove the ramps and clip the loops on two sides of the board.

FAQs
IS THE CHESS SET INCLUDED?
No. This listing includes the commercial-grade outdoor chessboard only. Giant chess pieces and checker pieces are sold separately.
WHICH CHESS SETS ARE COMPATIBLE?
This board is designed for the 38-inch and 48-inch MegaChess giant chess sets and is also compatible with the 14-inch MegaChess giant checker set. The larger playing surface provides ideal spacing for oversized game pieces.
CAN THIS CHESSBOARD STAY OUTSIDE YEAR-ROUND?
Yes. The commercial-grade hard plastic construction is engineered for permanent outdoor use in virtually any climate. The board resists moisture, UV exposure, and temperature extremes while maintaining its appearance year after year.
CAN THE CHESSBOARD BE INSTALLED ON GRASS?
The board itself can be installed on grass, but the included safety edge ramps are intended for hard, level surfaces. For grass installations, MegaChess recommends removing the ramps and clipping the connection loops on two sides of the board.
WHAT SURFACES WORK BEST FOR INSTALLATION?
This chessboard performs best on concrete, patios, decking, pavers, flagstone, and other hard, flat surfaces. These surfaces allow the safety ramps to sit flush while providing a stable playing area.
DOES THE BOARD REQUIRE ANY MAINTENANCE?
Very little. The self-draining design helps prevent standing water and debris buildup, while the durable hard plastic surface cleans easily with water and mild soap. The material is also resistant to many common chemicals and petroleum products.
WHAT ARE THE SAFETY EDGE RAMPS FOR?
The included edge ramps reduce trip hazards while creating a clean, finished border around the chessboard. They also make it easier for players to step onto the playing surface.
IS THIS BOARD SUITABLE FOR COMMERCIAL USE?
Absolutely. The 18-inch Commercial Grade Outdoor Chessboard is built for high-traffic environments including luxury resorts, hotels, parks, municipalities, schools, universities, corporate campuses, event venues, and other commercial properties.
