7.5 lbs is about the lowest weight I have inspected this year. With the need to just cover the exterior corners, several were under ten pounds. However, the type of plywood used really is the determining factor. One team was nearly 18 pounds and was using exterior furniture grade 17 ply plywood. With all the resin and weather protection, the plywood is heavy. Anything over 15 lbs get a long look by inspectors to determine if any illegal weight has been added to pool noodle interiors.
