Carl's Place DIY Golf Simulator Enclosure Kits are crafted to bring the feel of professional golf right into your home. Includes our impact screens that let the image go all the way to the floor, durable BlackStop™ enclosure, and the fittings to build your frame. We’ll even tell you exactly what pipes you need or make it easy with our Pipe Framing Kit for a hassle-free, all-in-one solution.
Picture yourself stepping into that spare room in your house, ready to perfect your golf swing at any time of the year. With Carl's Place DIY Golf Simulator Kit, indoor golfing has never been easier.
Make the most of Carl's DIY Golf Enclosure by pairing it with a top-notch launch monitor. Integrating a launch monitor tracking system within the enclosure opens up a world of knowledge about your golf performance. Gain insights into your swing like ball flight, spin, ball speed, and more. These insights are instrumental in elevating the quality of your golf practice sessions.
Our golf simulator impact screen material comes in four versions: Standard, Preferred, Premium, and now High-Contrast Gray Premium. Each is engineered to create a bottomless edge that creates a picture-perfect floor-to-turf image with minimal bounceback.
The BlackStop™ enclosure surrounds your simulator with a tough surface to shade the screen for your brightest image. It also creates a hitting bay golf environment that catches any shots that miss or bounce off the screen. Because you don't want to put a bunch of golf ball-sized holes in your wall.
The DIY Golf Simulator Enclosure Kit includes the corner fittings you need to connect your pipes. Pipes sold separately.
“The biggest hurdle for me personally when I was thinking through the simulator was really in my mind,” Cody said. “I just had this belief that the price, the effort, was kind of over what our budget would allow.” “It really took me researching, going into forums, and then eventually stumbling on Carl’s Place DIY enclosures to then realize that with our budget, you really could have an affordable, high quality setup in your home."
"(Carl’s Place) prices are two-thirds of the cost of the next guy,” Guy said. “That was a massive selling point because I was trying to save money on this." My wife was not happy when I explained to her how much I was going to spend on this. I had to negotiate by saying, ‘Here’s what it costs most people, and this is what it’s going to cost us.’

Need a custom golf simulator enclosure? We can customize golf screens and enclosures down to the inch. Get the size that fits your space perfectly with this build your own golf simulator customizer.
For the safety of both the golfer and the screen, we recommend standing a minimum of 10–12 feet away from the 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.
That being said...
We have also had success using a steamer to help get wrinkles and folds out. Using a clean, consumer-grade steamer with distilled water will help accelerate the wrinkle removing process, and should avoid leaving water marks on your screen.

We want your indoor golf set up to be fun, help improve your game, and be safe for everyone.
Golf hitting mats give you a nice cushy 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.
When choosing a size for your golf mat consider the golfer's needs. A size of 4'x5' will let most golfers swing a driver with their heels comfortably on the edge of the mat. A larger size, 5'x7' or 4'x9', would be able to accommodate golfers with a wide stance or if you have friends over swinging either rightie or leftie.
Carl's DIY Golf Enclosure Kit offers you an easy, entry-level way to build a safe place to swing your clubs. An affordable, convenient kit, the DIY Enclosure Kit helps home golfers take the guesswork out of designing their own golf simulator.
Carl's Pro Golf Enclosure Kit is a higher-end enclosure for top-of-the-line performance in a golf simulator. Because it's available in wider, deeper bays with additional safety features it makes the best commercial golf simulator 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
For complete guidelines on proper spacing for a golf simulator, check out our article'Measuring Your Space for an Indoor Golf Simulator'.
Our golf enclosure kits are made to order (which is why we can customize them down to the inch!). We make sure they are measured, sewn, and packed perfectly before they are ready to ship. Because of that, production lead time may fluctuate based on volume. To see the expected shipping and delivery times, please add the item to your cart and enter your shipping information.
The enclosure material is not designed to take a direct hit from a golf ball. However, if you hit the white impact screen, and it bounces and hits the enclosure, you should not experience any issues.
We can easily make you a replacement screen to save you money. Replacement screens can be ordered by contacting one of our Customer Service Team Members. You can also call us at 608-352-0002. Learn more information about extending the life of your golf screen.
You can also check out our Clearance section to see if you can snag a deal on a replacement golf screen that fits your setup.
Our DIY Golf Simulator Enclosures require 1-inch EMT (Electrical Metal Tubing/Conduit). We recommend you add a Pipe Framing Kit to your order so you get pre-cut, perfectly sized pipes for your enclosure frame. However, you can source EMT pipes on your own. Your kit will include all details on what lengths and quantities of pipes are required.
DIY Golf Simulator Enclosure Kits assemble in about an hour, depending on the size. Of course, it goes a bit faster if you have a helper. Here's our assembly video and manual for reference.
EMT stands for Electrical Metal Tubing, also known as, Electrical Metal Conduit. We often just refer to them as pipes on our website. You need EMT (pipes) to build the frame for your enclosure/screen. Do not mistake PVC pipes for EMT. PVC will not work with our fittings. You have 2 options on how to get the necessary pipes:
✓ DIY Enclosures require 1″ EMT.
✓ Pro and Curved Enclosures require 2" EMT which can be more difficult to find. Make sure you have a source for your EMT when selecting whether you want to add on our Pipe Framing Kit options.
The projector specifications determine the maximum image size and how far from the screen it will need to be mounted. Check out our screen size calculator to find the best mounting location.
As for how to mount your projector, here are the places to put a golf simulator projector.

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.
