Enclosures and screens

The enclosure holds the impact screen and catches mishits. It sets how the bay looks and how safe it is.

Sizing

Match the screen's shape to your projector: 4:3 and 16:9 are common, and many golf projectors can shrink the image to fit narrower screens. Kits come in widths from about 8 to 16 ft; measure the room first on the room size page.

Safety

Pad side walls and the ceiling near the screen, and test full swings with every club before calling it done. Mishits and bounce-back are the main ways a bay damages drywall or lights.
