We got flagged at MSC last year for dadoing all the way top to bottom on our bumpers, it might be worthwhile to think about a reinforcement at the top. We only went through 1 ply maybe 1.5 too. Our plan for this year was to just dado up far enough for the bolt heads to fit, but then we just made them bigger instead.

Thanks for the heads up. Our pockets are blind, not top-to-bottom. They only extend far enough to reach the minor protrusion.
And yes we will need to adjust a bit to fit the fabric -- this is a work in progress.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
