Re: Bumper Wall Attachment

Looks OK. The fastener heads will probably count towards bumper weight, but you almost have to try to get a 15# bumper, let alone a 20# one.

The tight and robust connection called for is up to you. If, for example, you fastened through the angle to the top of a frame member, that would most likely be a good connection, unless you did something wrong.
