Re: Pool Noodle Size Tolerance

While not an official ruling about noodle tolerance, R21a specifies a 10% tolerance in the height of the wooden backing (literally 5in +/- 1/2in) , which is supposed to be twice the diameter of the noodles. I doubt that anyone will flunk inspection for noodles that are between 2 1/4" and 2 3/4" in diameter if your wooden backing matches the noodles. We most commonly use Dollar General noodles, which are cored and about 2 3/8" in diameter - and sell for $1 during the summer.
