Product Features:

 

• Immersive Curved Design:

  Unlike standard flat enclosures, this model features a gently curved impact screen that enhances the sense of depth and realism during play. The curvature creates a wraparound visual experience, making your simulator feel more lifelike and engaging.
  
  

• Wider Field of View:

  The curved shape expands your viewing angle, surrounding you with the course and helping you better visualize shot shape and trajectory.
  
  

• Smooth 4.5-Foot Curve Rise:

  The screen’s maximum curve depth is approximately 4.5 feet, creating a balanced arc that feels natural and visually seamless without requiring additional space.
  
  

• DIY-Friendly Setup:

  The Curved Golf Enclosure Kit was designed as the first true do-it-yourself curved simulator enclosure. Clear step-by-step instructions make setup straightforward — no specialized tools or professional installation required.
  
  

• Single Projector Design:

  The entire curved surface is optimized for use with just one projector, eliminating the need for complex multi-projector setups.
  
  

• Projection Software Compatibility:

  To achieve a perfectly mapped image across the curved surface, additional warping software may be required. We recommend Immersive Display PRO v6.1.2, which has been successfully tested with this enclosure.

Getting Started Guide:

 

Step 1: Measure your ceiling height, width, and depth. Ensure a minimum of 9 ft ceiling height for safe swings.

Step 2: Select a standard or custom size that fits your space.

Step 3: Choose your screen material (Premium or High Contrast Gray).

Step 4: Gather your 2″ EMT pipe set or add the pre-cut Pipe Framing Kit.

Step 5: Assemble the frame using provided fittings and fasteners.

Step 6: Attach the enclosure fabric and tension the impact screen.

Step 7: Add optional accessories — Foam inserts, baffles, back cover, and mounts.

Step 8: Align your projector and launch monitor, then enjoy your personal golf simulator.

 

Setup & Installation Recommendations:

 

• Maintain 12–16″ of clear space behind the impact screen to allow safe flex and prevent friction wear.
  
  

• Leave 2–3″ of side clearance and at least 6″ of top clearance for assembly and ventilation.
  
  

• Use clean golf balls and clubs to extend screen life.
  
  

• Position your tee 10 ft from the screen to reduce bounce-back risk.
  
  

• When setting up your projector, measure the distance from the front edge of the curved screen — Not the back or deepest part of the curve. This front edge is your true starting point for calculating the correct projector mounting distance.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Does the Curved Golf Enclosure Kit come with pipes?

No. Frame pipes are not included with the standard kit. You can purchase standard 2” EMT conduit locally or choose the optional pre-cut pipe kit for a faster, more precise setup.

 

Q: How much ceiling height do I need?

Allow at least 6 inches of additional clearance above your chosen enclosure height for fittings and assembly.

For example, a 9 ft enclosure should be installed in a room with at least 9 ft 6 in of total height.

 

Q: How much space should I leave around the enclosure?

Maintain 12–16 inches of open space behind the screen for air movement and ball impact, and 2–3 inches on the sides and top for assembly.

Keep your hitting mat 10–12 ft from the screen for accurate readings and safe play.

 

Q: How long does it take to assemble the curved enclosure?

Setup takes about 4 hours. We recommend having two or more people to help lift and connect the frame pipes safely.

 

Q: Is the curved golf simulator really DIY?

Yes! The Curved Enclosure Kit is designed for easy do-it-yourself installation. With basic tools and at least one helper, most customers complete setup in a single afternoon.

 

Q: What kind of pipes do I need for the frame?

The frame uses 2-inch EMT conduit (Electrical Metal Tubing) — the same as our Pro Enclosure Kits.

You can either order the Pre-Cut Pipe Framing Kit (ships freight-ready) or source your own pipes locally.

If you can’t unload heavy boxes (each around 50 lbs), add Lift-Gate Service for easy delivery.

 

Q: Do I need a special projector for a curved enclosure?

No, you can use a standard projector, but image-warping software will help you achieve a perfect fit across the curved screen.

Compatible projectors include:

 

• LG BU53RG

• BenQ LK936ST
  

  Or use software like Immersive Display PRO for custom setups.
  
  

Tip: When mounting your projector, measure the distance from the front edge of the curved screen (closest to the golfer) — not the furthest point. This ensures a properly aligned projection with the use of screen warping software.

Screen-warping software lets you fine-tune or “bend” the projected image so it fits smoothly across the curved surface.

 

Q: How heavy is the Curved Enclosure Kit?

Weight depends on configuration:

 

• Screen and enclosure only: Around 130–150 lbs

• With pipe kit and accessories: Up to 250 lbs

All shipments are securely packaged for freight transport.

 

Q: Can the impact screen be returned or exchanged?

Impact screens are considered wearable items and cannot be returned or exchanged once used.

If your screen arrives damaged or defective, contact support@simulatordirect.com with photos and your order details.

 

Q: Can I order a custom-sized curved enclosure?

Yes! Custom builds are available within the following ranges:

 

• Height: 102”–120”

• Width: 144”–240”

• Depth: 82”–240”

 

Allow for 6 inches above and 2–3 inches of side clearance for assembly.

Custom orders are non-returnable once production begins.

 

Q: Is there a warranty on the enclosure or screen?

Because screens naturally wear over time, they aren’t covered by a standard warranty.

Replacement components can be purchased individually through Simulator Direct.

 

Q: How long will it take to receive my order?

Typical lead time before shipment is 5–7 business days, plus 5–7 business days for transit within the U.S.

International orders may take longer due to customs processing.

 

Q: How long does the screen last?

With normal use, most screens last 3–5 years.

To extend the lifespan, rotate the screen periodically and use clean golf balls.

 

Q: How do I clean the screen?

Vacuum lightly to remove dust or debris. For marks, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth, then dry immediately to avoid water stains.

 

Q: Do I need extra lighting or flooring?

Not required, but turf flooring and overhead lighting can enhance both the look of your space and your launch monitor’s tracking accuracy.

 

Q: What makes the Curved Enclosure different from other models?

The curved model delivers a wrap-around viewing experience unlike any other — expanding your field of vision and creating true depth perception for ultra-realistic simulation.

It’s built with the same premium materials as the Pro model but adds a precision-engineered curve designed for single-projector setups.
