Well the day finally came and let me start off by saying I’m glad it was the window not me.
DIY’d most of this SIM last year and it’s been awesome. However I used the builds by maz tutorial for the enclosure and never found a solution for:
1 – The bottom bar ricochets. I have pipe insulation and gutter foam in front of it and thinned shots still shoot up with some good velocity. (The one that broke the window actually hit the bottom bar then the top bar then zipped over my head and broke a window)
2 – Balls sneaking through the gap between the top bar and the impact screen. Luckily none of them damaged anything behind but they probably will eventually if I don’t fix it.
My question is how can I stop this for good? Or do I just need to cough up the money and buy a professional enclosure?

Cheap and easy. You can also find a way to velcro or attach then in the corners. They’re memory foam so they deaden shots nicely.
For the bottom bar use long sand bags
You can get the black foam insulation for water pipes that works well too.
