Screen to curtain gap. Need thoughts

[NoUser]

My dad and I are building a simulator. We have most of it done thanks to a lot of help from this forum and other online resources. I fired up the projector and hit shots into the net for the first time last night. I hit about 6 shots before I shanked one and it ended up slipping through the crack where the screen meets the curtain. We have our curtain hung on the inside of our enclosure, as you can see in the picture, as opposed to how most people drape curtains over the top of their enclosures. We have the curtains tensioned against the screen with the cables wrapped in pipe foam, but it seems we can not get them tight enough to stop a ball. My first thought is to try using the gutter foam others have used to cover pipes along the bottom of their enclosures. Do any other thoughts jump out at any of you guys? Any input is welcome.
Thanks

What happened when it went through the "crack"? If it doesn't have anywhere to go, and doesn't wreck anything, maybe you don't need to "fix" it?

If it is going under the side curtain you could do a couple of things - (a) several 1 oz slip shot sinkers available at Bass Pro Shops, a swim noodle or foam wedge gutter guards (Lowes). I put velcro to attach my impact screen and side curtains. works like a charm

My screen and side curtains hang from the EMT frame and I use tarp clips to join the screen and side curtains together. Then I hung a cheap 10'x20' net all the way around behind the curtains/screen to catch a ball that might get through those corner seams.

There are lots of windows directly behind the simulator

The velcro seems very convenient, but we have a lot of extra screen behind to shift once the middle runs out. Think we're going to try the gutter guards.

Our screen wraps about 4 feet behind our enclosure so clipping them together isn't really an option. Net seems like a decent last-ditch effort though. We're going to try wrapping the gutter guards in cloth them pulling them

Buy a tarp or canvas 4' wider than the back of your enclosure. Wrap it around the back from side to side and use clamps to clamp the tarp to your foam covered cables, if the tarp/canvas is a bit taller you could lay the excess across the top, then fold over the corners, similar to wrapping a Christmas present, and clamp the overlap on the top somehow.
