Still gotta make 18 bars equal. 3 per side. And they have to nest just right to create tension and hold it together. So exact spans are important. But maybe could've winged it.

Sorry it does matter. You're right. I'm an engineer. I mean you just need the same size universally. It's going to take quite a bit of staples.

I was just making a joke about using company resources.

The length has to be 2 and like 21/23rds the width of a single staple or something similar. I think. (A staple or two short of 3 widths for overlap and tension)

Thanks for the info about the bars inside. I didn't watch the whole gif and was thinking about it while driving. Trying to figure out if interior support could be avoided.
