    Here is a link to an answer that removes nodes that go off the top of the screen. You would just have to replicate this to cover the entire border and set all of the walls to have the same contactBitMask values.

    Basically the logic is to remove the SKSpriteNodes when they contact physicsbodies that you have resting just outside the visible screen.
