We had two sets of bumpers, with a very similar attachment method to this. We used the same pins, but used 1" ID C stock and put that around 1" x 2" tube stock. We then drilled a hole through both pieces of metal, through all 4 walls. We then dropped the pin through the hole. We could take a bumper off in 5 seconds, and put another one on in 15 seconds. If we have bumpers again next year, that's how we are going to do it again.
