Step 4: Gather Your Frame Pipes

Step 5: Assemble the Frame
Connect the fittings, mount the nylon enclosure, and attach the impact screen using included fasteners.
Step 6: Add Optional Accessories
Install foam inserts, net extensions, or a back cover for enhanced protection and image quality.
Step 7: Set Up Your Launch Monitor and Projector

Step 8: Enjoy Your Simulator

Setup & Installation Recommendations:
Proper installation ensures optimal performance, longevity, and safety. Please review these setup guidelines before assembling your DIY Enclosure Kit.
-
Allow 12–16 inches of open space behind the impact screen to prevent friction, reduce wear, and allow the material to flex properly.
-
DIY enclosures require 2–3 inches of clearance on the top and each side of the frame for tensioning and assembly.
-
When constructing your frame using 1” EMT pipe, design the frame to be 4 inches taller and 4 inches wider than the outer screen dimensions for ideal tension when using 6” bungees.
-
Keep your tee positioned at least 10 feet from the screen to prevent bounce-back and prolong screen life.
-
Always use clean golf balls and clubs to minimize scuffs or marks on the impact material.
-
For rooms with fixed walls, maintain 2–3 inches of enclosure side clearance and a minimum ceiling height of 9 feet to accommodate safe swing clearance and assembly.
