What’s Included in the DIY Golf Simulator Enclosure Kit?

Your Choice of Impact Screen

Select from three impact screen options—Standard, Preferred, or Premium. Each one is designed to deliver a seamless floor-to-turf image with minimal bounceback, enhancing realism while maintaining durability.

Black Nylon Enclosure

This durable enclosure not only provides a darkened backdrop for the best screen visibility but also creates a safe hitting bay that catches stray shots. Say goodbye to unexpected golf ball dents in your walls!

Steel Fittings

Your kit comes with the essential steel corner fittings needed to assemble the enclosure frame. Pipes are sold separately.

Ball Bungees and Zip Ties

Secure your screen with the included zip ties and 6” ball bungees. With extra fasteners included, you can fine-tune the screen tension based on your swing style, ball speed, and club selection.

Real Stories from DIY Golfers

Cody’s Unused Sunroom Transformation

Cody initially thought an indoor golf simulator was out of reach—until he discovered Carl’s Place. “I believed the price and effort would be beyond our budget, but after researching, I realized we could have an affordable, high-quality setup right at home.”

Guy’s Budget-Friendly Build

For Guy, affordability was key. “Carl’s Place was two-thirds the price of the next guy. That was huge because I needed to keep costs down. My wife wasn’t thrilled at first, but when I showed her the price comparisons, she saw the value.”

EMT Requirements

Unless you've selected the Pipe Framing Kit add-on, you'll need to purchase 1-inch EMT (electrical metal tubing) from your local hardware store to complete your frame. We'll include all details on what lengths and quantities of EMT are required.

Please note, 1-inch EMT is the US trade name of the material, however, the true outer diameter is 1.163" or 27mm.

Care & Use Guidelines for Your Golf Simulator

Optimal Distance from the Impact Screen

For safety and performance, stand at least 10-12 feet away from the screen when swinging.

Can You Iron or Steam the Screen?

• Do NOT iron your golf impact screen, as heat can cause irreversible damage.
• To prevent wrinkles, unpack the screen immediately and fold it loosely if storing.
• If wrinkles occur, tensioning the screen with zip ties or ball bungees will naturally smooth them out over a few days.
• Using a clean, consumer-grade steamer with distilled water can help remove stubborn wrinkles without leaving watermarks.

Safety Considerations for Indoor Golfing

• Follow all assembly instructions.
• Keep children, pets, and bystanders out of the swing zone.
• Protect ceilings, walls, and windows from errant shots.
• Understand our Terms of Sale when using Carl’s Place products.

Do You Need a Golf Hitting Mat?

Hitting mats provide cushioning for your joints and create a realistic practice experience.

• 4’x5’ is great for most golfers, allowing comfortable driver swings.
• 5’x7’ or 4’x9’ is ideal for wider stances or accommodating left- and right-handed golfers.
  👉 Shop Golf Mats for the perfect fit.
