Mine isn't--but that's because we're doing a full-perimeter bumper setup.

What questions and concerns do you have specifically?
We're trying to fit in an indent to our perimeter to allow the boulder to roll in, however both sides of the gap would need 8 in of bumper, which is a design we haven't tried yet. And this extra 16 inches to the front would go over the 120 perimeter limit.
