The SportScreen Vanish LITE Hybrid-Retractable Golf Enclosure
The Vanish LITE by The SportScreen is a space-saving, hybrid-retractable golf enclosure designed for golfers who want a clean indoor simulator setup without committing to a large permanent enclosure. Built with durability, convenience, and everyday use in mind, it is a strong option for garages, basements, multipurpose rooms, and home golf simulator spaces.
The Vanish LITE uses the same retractable concept The SportScreen is known for, but with a simpler and more budget-friendly design. The front impact screen and rear impact support membrane retract up and out of the way, while the side curtains slide along a track system and pin back when not in use.
Because it only requires one mounting surface and two mounting points, the Vanish LITE is especially helpful for customers who want a retractable-style golf simulator but do not want the more involved installation of a full Vanish Series setup. It also uses built-in baffling and Velcro-free corner protection to help keep golf balls contained inside the hitting area.
With multiple standard sizes, hand crank and remote-control retraction options, durable construction-grade materials, and compatibility with many popular launch monitors and projectors, the Vanish LITE gives you a clean and professional simulator bay that can still share space with the rest of your room.

Product Installation Guide
-
Confirm rear clearance.
- Mount the Vanish LITE approximately 8 inches to 12 inches off the back wall.
- This helps protect the surface behind the screen and allows room for impact movement.
-
Confirm side clearance.
- Keep the side curtains approximately 6 inches to 8 inches away from side walls.
- This helps protect surrounding surfaces and gives the side curtains room to function properly.
-
Plan the mounting surface.
- The Vanish LITE requires one mounting surface and two mounting points.
- This can make installation easier in rooms where mounting options are limited.
-
Choose hand crank or remote-control retraction.
- Remote-control models use a motor power cord connected to the impact support membrane.
- The motor can connect to a nearby standard 110V outlet.
- Hand crank versions are available if power is not available near the mounting area.
-
Set your hitting distance.
- Most users hit from approximately 8 to 10 feet away from the impact screen.
- Final hitting position depends on your launch monitor, projector, room depth, and comfort level.
-
Review ceiling conditions.
- The Vanish LITE can be installed in certain sloped or vaulted ceiling spaces.
- Because it only requires two mounting points on one surface, it may be a better option than larger retractable systems in rooms with unique ceiling layouts.
