Achieve a flawless floor-to-turf visual experience during your indoor golf sessions!
The Carl's Place DIY C-Series Golf Simulator Enclosure Kits, featuring an impact screen that seamlessly extends to the floor. Crafted with Carl's Place BlackStop™ material and connector fittings, these kits guarantee a smooth and hassle-free setup process. We'll tell you which pipes you need. Alternatively, you can just add the Pipe Framing Kit for an effortless, all-in-one solution to create your home golf enclosure.
What's Included
Your Choice of Impact Screen: Take your pick from our Standard, Preferred, Premium, or High-Contrast Gray screens: four materials, each crafted to deliver a seamless floor-to-turf image with minimal bounceback. Your screen is cut and finished for the exact enclosure size you select, with 4 to 8 inches of black masking across the top to hold your aspect ratio.
-
Standard Golf Impact Screen: the entry material. A sensible choice for a first simulator or a lighter-use room.
-
Preferred Golf Impact Screen: best value for home and light commercial use. Noticeably smoother texture than Standard, with tightly woven fibers for a better HD picture.
-
Premium Golf Impact Screen: three layers of heavy-duty, tight-knit impact-resistant polyester. Quiets the noise of the ball strike and delivers the best image quality. This is the screen Carl's builds into their Pro and Curved kits.
-
High-Contrast Gray Impact Screen: the same triple-layer build as Premium, but it absorbs more light for deeper blacks, richer color, and better contrast. The right pick for a room you cannot fully darken.
Not sure which to choose? Carl's offers a sample pack so you can see and feel the difference. Call (855) 718-4560 and we'll help you match the material to your room and projector.
BlackStop Enclosure: This tough enclosure not only shades the screen for optimal brightness but also creates a safe hitting bay environment, preventing any stray shots from damaging your walls.
Steel Fittings: Included in the DIY Golf Simulator Enclosure Kit are the essential corner fittings for easy pipe connection. Pipes are sold separately.
Ball Bungees and Zip Ties: We provide all the necessary fasteners to securely attach your screen to the frame. Additionally, you'll receive extra options, such as releasable zip ties and 6" and 9" ball bungees, allowing you to customize the tension based on your swing style and preferences. Adjust for the perfect balance between tension and slack, depending on factors like proximity to the screen, ball speed, club choice, and spin rates.
Size, Depth & Room Fit
All six sizes share the same depth, 5 ft from the impact screen to the front of the frame. Depth is not a selectable option on this enclosure line, which is why the size selector shows height and width only.
Two depth numbers matter, and they are not the same. Depth is 5 ft, the enclosure body. Footprint depth is 6 ft once the rear backset fitting is included. Measure your room against the footprint depth; that is the floor space the enclosure actually consumes.

We round to 5 ft and 6 ft in the copy above for readability. The table shows the measured figures to the inch, use those if your room is tight.
Listing size is shorthand, not a measurement. An 8 ft x 8 ft enclosure is really an 8 ft 4 in x 8 ft 4 in frame with a 7 ft 2 in x 7 ft 2 in viewable screen. If your room is tight, plan against the outer frame and footprint depth columns above, never the listing size. Figures are rounded to the nearest inch from Carl's Place DIY Golf Simulator Enclosure Kit Specifications sheet; the recommended buffer below more than covers the rounding.
Clearance to allow:
-
Above: 2 to 3 inches between the outer frame height and your ceiling.
-
Sides: 2 to 3 inches per side, so 4 to 6 inches of total width beyond the outer frame.
-
Behind the screen: roughly 8 inches is the hard minimum for the rear fitting; 12 inches is recommended so the material can stretch freely. Anything touching the back of the screen causes friction and premature wear.
-
Tee to screen: at least 10 feet. This is Carl's requirement, both for golfer safety and to keep the screen from wearing out early.
As a room baseline: 15 ft of depth minimum (18 to 20 ft recommended), 8 ft 6 in ceiling minimum (9 to 10 ft recommended), and a 14 ft wide room if you want right- and left-handed golfers playing from a centered position.
Not sure which size fits? Send your room width, depth, and ceiling height to support@golfsimgenies.com or call (855) 718-4560 and one of our simulation specialists will confirm the right size before you order.
Optional Accessories
Pipe Framing Kit: While the Pipe Framing Kit is optional, the pipes needed to construct your frame are essential. We'll guide you on the exact 1-inch EMT required, available at any local hardware store. Alternatively, opt for our add-on kit, including pre-cut pipes for hassle-free assembly.
Net Wall Extensions: Shield your enclosure walls without sacrificing space. Our net wall extensions offer an additional barrier against stray balls, easily attached with hook and loop strips. A sandbag base ensures stability (fill not included). Sold as a pair.
Foam Insert Kit: Ensure safety and peace of mind with memory foam cushions, precisely designed to fit behind the screen flaps of your DIY Golf Simulator Enclosure.
Optional Safety Baffles (sold separately): Tackle high wedge shots with ceiling baffles, now compatible with Carl’s DIY enclosure.
Back Cover Kit and Back Cover Pipe Kit: Eliminate light leakage for superior image quality and enhance the enclosure's appearance with our back cover kits. Opt for pre-cut pipes or receive guidance on sourcing and cutting your own.
