Enclosure:
- Premium Golf Impact Screen
- Made of three layers of heavy-duty, tight-knit impact-resistant polyester. This is the smoothest surface available on a full-impact material. Plus, Carl's innovative cabled design lets the image go all the way to the turf for a truly golfable space.
- Black Knit Enclosure
- Black knit fabric surrounds your enclosure, shading your screen for a bright, clear image. The ceiling and side panels catch any errant shots, and with the smooth, black finish, they look good doing it.
- Steel Fittings
-
- The Pro Golf Enclosure Kit includes the steel fittings and elbows to construct all frame joints and corners. Pipes sold separately.
- Ball Bungees and Zip Ties
-
- We include all the fasteners you need to secure your enclosure and screen. Zip ties provide you with a plethora of options for tensioning your impact screen. And we give you enough ball bungees to find the perfect balance of tension for your specific swing style. Depending on how close you're hitting to the screen, ball speed, clubs used, and spin rates, you can adjust them all to find your sweet spot between tension and slack.

How far away should I stand from my impact screen?
For the safety of both the golfer and the screen, we recommend standing a minimum of 10-12 feet away from the screen.
Can I iron or steam a golf impact screen?
We do NOT recommend ironing your golf screen, simply because it is very easy to damage the screen. And we want your golf screen to last you a long, long time. With wrinkles and fold marks, the best thing is prevention. Unpack your new screen immediately, and if you need to store it, fold it very loosely. But if you're reading a section on ironing your golf screen, it's probably too late for prevention. Know that mounting your golf screen to a frame with tension, like with our zip ties or ball bungees, and letting it relax for a couple of days will smooth out most wrinkles.
Do I need to use a golf hitting mat?
Golf hitting mats give you a soft surface to stand and swing your golf club. They help protect your joints from any impact during your swing. They also let you have a more realistic golf practice when you can tee up the golf ball at the perfect height and swing freely.
How much space do I need for the enclosure?
When measuring for a golf simulator, make sure you take into account:
- Buffer space: You don't want your golf simulator right up next to any walls or ceiling. Balls that contact the walls or ceiling can cause damage and have unwanted bounce back.
- Footprint of the golf enclosure: Make sure to check the actual dimensions of the enclosure footprint. Our C-Series enclosures have built-in buffer space in the rear with the backset rear fitting.
- Safe golfing distance away from the screen: For the safety of both the golfer and the screen, we recommend standing a minimum distance of 10 to 12 feet away from the screen.
- Height of the golfer(s)
- Length of the golf club(s)
- Turf thickness, heating ducts, and soffits
- Furniture and access to doorways
What pipes do I need to construct the enclosure kit frame?
Our Pro Golf Enclosures require 2-inch EMT ((Electrical Metal Tubing/Conduit). We recommend you add a Pipe Framing Kit to your order so you get pre-cut, perfectly sized, and marked pipes for your enclosure frame. That way all you have to do is assemble your frame and enclosure.
Note, these pipes can be difficult to source locally. Be sure you can purchase it near you before making your final buying decision. Either way, we will provide a diagram indicating the required cut lengths for your specific size kit.
Pro Enclosure orders with a 'Pipe Framing Kit' ship freight. If you are unable to unload a pallet of 50lb boxes, you should add lift gate service. If you are outside of the US, freight shipping the Pipe Framing Kit may be cost-prohibitive.
