Re: Aluminum angle on bumpers

I've been smacking my head on the wall about this. What is the point of the aluminium? Last year we just stapled the cloth in place. I know it isn't really my place to contridict the allmighty GDC, but I'm flipping out about this because it is making my job of building the bumpers somewhat more complicated. Also, it says to attach the aluminium with wood screws, but won't the screw heads stick out a bit from the bumpers? Or do the screws go in from the top of the bumper, in which case the plywood has a better chance of cracking from the screws?

Argh, I wish this hadn't been thrown on me so late in the game. Oh well.
