Re: Bumper Thickness

It's really impossible to give a strict number, as pool noodle manufacture doesn't hold to very strict diameters. That said, there is a noticeable difference when holding a bumper that has been properly constructed, versus one that was constructed with the intent of flattening the pool noodles.

Go ahead an pull the fabric tight. But don't staple your fabric on while you have someone sitting on the bumper, that will flatten the pool noodles and not provide sufficient space for them to expand back out to their proper size.
