Inner Cover Size:8-Frame and occasionally rub some woodOur inner cover has high mechanical strength, high durability, and high functionality. Unlike most inner covers, it is 1. 125" tall. This extra height increases strength by allowing more glue at the joints and more overall stiffness. The inner cover is further strengthened by 18 staples connecting the panel to the frame. Additionally, whereas most manufacturers only use a 1 4" panel, we use a 3 8" panel. This further increases overall stiffness and
