It would be harder to get it to work if you have any notches in your bumper (for example to load a 10" diameter round game piece through a hole in the frame).

We get ours from Home Depot for around $.30 a foot. And yeah, the full bumper vs gapped bumper is a constant struggle with us. We tend to hurt our performance some years in order to make sure our frame is strong and protected. One of these days we will have to have a gap in our bumpers and up the competitive level a bit.
