These balls are pretty squishy. You could get them through a
much narrower passage if needed. (That said, we're lifting the ball over a continuous solid frame perimeter, using a gap in the bumpers to help keep things tight and low.)

I don't see anything forbidding this. Bumpers are not required to all be at the same height, or even horizontal along their length. However, given the hardware required to mount this, it would probably be easier and lighter to raise the whole corner.
