We found a problem with the "fence" today:

Sure, P16 is the vertical pipe on the "center barrier" or what our team calls the "fence". The BOM states that it is 14-1/4".

Now, look over at the perimeter of the field, where the vertical pipes are P8. P8 is stated to be 16" in the BOM.

Both of these vertical pipes sit on the same boards (B1 & B3, both 3.5" high), the same angled steel, and the same fittings (KK1-7).

With all of this in mind, P16 and P8 should be the same height... assuming two things:

1. The top edge of 16 is flush with the top of the fitting KK15-7.
2. The "fence" height is the same as the field border height... and they need to be since both fit into the fitting KK35-7.

Am I missing something here, of should P16 be 16" long?
