Getting Started Guide:

Step 1: Confirm Your Enclosure Size

Before ordering, double-check the height, width, and depth of your DIY Golf Enclosure to ensure you select the correct matching Pipe Kit size.

Step 2: Unpack and Organize

Once your pipe kit arrives, unpack all pieces and lay them out in an open area. Each pipe will be pre-cut and labeled (e.g., “Top Front,” “Left Side,” “Base Support”) to simplify setup.

Step 3: Verify the Parts List

Use the included parts diagram to confirm that all labeled pipes are present and match your enclosure configuration.

Step 4: Arrange the Frame Layout

Lay the pipes on the floor in the general shape of your enclosure to visualize where each piece connects. This makes it easier to identify corners, crossbars, and supports.

Step 5: Begin Frame Assembly

Using your enclosure’s corner and T-joint fittings (sold separately), start connecting pipes together beginning with the base frame. Ensure each joint is securely seated before moving on.

Step 6: Build Vertically

Once the base is assembled, connect the vertical and top pipes to complete the frame structure. It’s best to have a second person assist with lifting and positioning during this step.

Step 7: Square and Level the Frame

Use a level or measuring tape to confirm the frame is properly aligned and square. Small misalignments can lead to issues with screen tension later.

Step 8: Mount the Enclosure Panels and Screen

Attach your DIY enclosure fabric and impact screen per the manufacturer’s instructions. Use ball bungees or zip ties to secure the screen evenly across the frame.

Step 9: Final Adjustments

Check that the frame feels sturdy and square. Adjust tension on the screen as needed to ensure a smooth projection surface with minimal sag.

Step 10: Power Up Your Simulator

Position your launch monitor, projector, and hitting mat at the correct distances — and enjoy your fully assembled golf enclosure.

Setup & Installation Recommendations:

• Use your enclosure’s fitting set (corners, T-joints, etc.) — Ensure your pipes match the fitting sizes.
  
  

• Before tightening fully, ensure frame is square and level — Misalignment early can cascade into screen issues.
  
  

• Some buffer space is needed behind the rear pipe region (12” recommended) so there is clearance for screen flex.
  
  

• Be cautious not to scratch or damage the powder coat finish during assembly. Use protective gloves or place pipes on soft surface.
  
  

• For long runs, handle pipes carefully to avoid bending or warping while lifting into place.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Does this kit include connector fittings or screen?

No. This kit provides only the pipe segments. You’ll still need connectors, screen, and other components from your DIY Enclosure Kit. 

Q: Why purchase a pipe kit instead of sourcing your own EMT?

The kit simplifies the process. Every pipe is pre-cut and labeled. No measuring, cutting, or waste. Especially helpful if you don’t want to haul raw pipe or rent tools.

Q: Can I use this kit with a custom size enclosure?

The kit is intended to match the standard enclosure sizes Carl offers. If your build deviates significantly, you’ll want to confirm pipe lengths with us before ordering.

Q: What pipe dimension is used?

This kit uses 1-inch EMT conduit — The standard size for Carl’s DIY enclosure systems. 

Q: Is the powder-coating durable?

Yes. It’s designed to resist scuffs and corrosion for years of normal indoor use. Just avoid dragging pipes across rough surfaces during setup.

Q: How long does frame assembly take?

With all pieces in hand and basic tools ready, expect frame-only assembly in ~1 hour for standard sizes.
