I need some help coming up with a way to attach gutter foam to my wood frame.
The only solution I can come up with is taking cardboard and cutting & folding it into an L shape. I would then attach the foam to the outside of the card board with some sort of adhesive and would be placed in front of the screen with the longer piece of the cardboard folding around the frame from the side and screwing it to the frame from there. (See photos)
However I think I might be over complicating things and I’m curious if anyone else might have a better solution.

I’ve seen guys take foam pool noodles, slice them, and secure to the poles that way.
PL 300 is the adhesive I would use
And wrap in black material the gutter foam or even memory foam. I’m trying to think of better something better than cardboard but if you wrap the foam you may just be able to use self adhesive Velcro to attach.
Not sure about foam but if you want to get all the wrinkles and creases out of your screen do this: https://youtu.be/reUFf3OT-rA?si=ZoRjcBoyu41haWiT
Works really well!
Here’s a version of what I did. If you don’t wrap the gutter foam it will disintegrate from ball strikes. This version will still allow balls to sneak behind the foam and get stuck there, but that’s better than catching a ricochet in the face.

1” emt and pipe tube insulation (similar to noodles) works great
There’s 1 inch foam piping insulation you can get if that size works.
Maybe you could get on marketplace and buy used memory foam mattress toppers and tuck them
