good advice but the design stage was last January and it may be too late......

Yes, it's too late to start over, but not too late to make some minor changes that might allow for the field elements to be as they really are. I guess that's just one more game challenge...trying to second guess how the actual field will compare to the drawings.

I think our 4 bumpers weighed right around 12 lbs, 26" for the ends and 36" for the sides, 5" high, no angles. Quick calculation of the weight of angle shows that adding 1/16" thick 3/4" angle would put them just over 15 lbs. Perhaps they had 1/2" angle in mind? Not much room for screws then....yes, the prescribed design seems to be questionable.
