Re: bumper question
Usually they're not too bad, provided you construct it the same way and it still obeys the weight limit.
If they're too big, it's easier than if they're smaller. You could take aluminum tubing and fit it down the hole in the center of the pool noodle, stick it in the lathe, then gently shave some off with sandpaper. apply heat after this though, with a heat gun or similar device, just enough to sort of "reseal" the tube. Don't heat it too much though.
I hope that helps.
