MUST KNOWS to BUILD a HOME GOLF SIMULATOR on a BUDGET!

[@trevorhill9051]

Be very interested in how you put the floor down and how you used the catenary wire

[@TKGolfYT]

So, the original floor in polished concrete. Ontop of that, I’ve laid a spruce timber frame with floorboards on top. That way, I was able to sink the hitting mat to sit flush with my flooring 😊 There’s a square shaped catenary wire around the top of the enclosure. From this I’ve hug my top netting (so I can hit LW and flop shots without worrying about going over the screen), my side netting and of course my hitting screen 😊

You need some thing soft at the screen to stop the ball bouncing and rolling around after your shot . I put 45 mm syth turf from my mat to screen

[@TKGolfYT]

Yeah that’s a good idea 🤔 I don’t mind the ball rolling back toward me though. Maybe I’m just lazy 😂

Hi, nice simulator. How have you connected your impact screen with the curtains? Just wondering how to get enough tension at the sides for the impact screen.

[@TKGolfYT]

Hey! So along the top, I run the screen on small carabiners attached to the wire frame. Tension is applied to the screen from the sides only. 😊

Did you use any padding above the screen, my screen goes to the ceiling of my garage and i need to have 90cm ish of padding on the ceiling

[@TKGolfYT]

No padding above the screen, just a netting across the whole top of the enclosure. Imagine a hitting case, but indoors 😊
