From the 2014 manual

A. be backed by ¾ in. (nominal) thick by 5 in. (± ½ in) tall plywood or solid, robust wood. Small clearance pockets
and/or access holes in the plywood backing are permitted, as long as they do not significantly affect the structural

To assist in applying the fabric covering, fasteners may be used to attach the pool noodles
to the wood backing, so long as the cross section of Figure 4-8 is not significantly altered (e.g. tape compressing the
pool noodles).
