Golf Simulator Enclosure Kits Compared (2026): Real Sizes, Pipes and Prices

By Evan Reid, with research from the HPG Research Team · Updated Nov. 9, 2026

Black walls go up around a bright screen, the turf rolls out, and a spare corner of the basement turns into your own hitting bay. Snow can pile up outside while you work through a bucket of balls, with nobody waiting on the tee.

The best golf simulator enclosure is the one whose real outer size fits your room, with a few inches to spare. So check the height in inches before you buy a golf simulator enclosure kit, because the name is not the size. Carl's Place sells a kit called "8 x 8" that stands 100 inches tall.

On the makers' own numbers, the Carl's Place DIY kit fits the widest range of home rooms. Carl's Pro kit is the frame to hang a projector or an overhead launch monitor on. The Net Return's bay ships the frame and side nets in one box, and it's the shallowest frame here.

On October 24, 2026, we read the spec sheets, product pages and return policies of 7 enclosure makers.

Carl's Place sale, November 4 to 22, 2026: 20% off Carl's Place branded products with a qualifying bundle. That's a Carl's enclosure or built-in screen, plus at least two of a projector, launch monitor or hitting mat. Other brands don't count. Type the code SIMSZN2026 at checkout, since it doesn't come off by itself. Carl's says it's open early to people who give an email on its site, or who shop through partners like us, and it drops to 15% from November 23 to December 1.

Below: every kit side by side, the real sizes, the picks, Carl's DIY vs Pro vs Curved, which kits include the frame and returns and warranty. Or skip to what to confirm before you order.

Best golf simulator enclosure kit: the quick comparison

We compared 10 kits. Sizes are height by width by depth, in inches, from each maker's own spec sheet or product page. On a phone, swipe the table sideways.

Feet to inches is our arithmetic. Bushnell sells its enclosure only inside a simulator bundle, and we found no enclosure on its own in Bushnell's store. Its other bundle, with the Launch Pro i, was listed as sold out on October 24, 2026. The price above covers the Launch Pro, a mat and a projector too.

Bushnell's own pages disagree on the frame's depth. Its bundle page lists both frames as "17' Long." Its spec tab lists the 10' frame, with the mat, at 8 feet 6 inches by 10 feet by 5 feet 4 inches. SkyTrak's matching Studio 10' is 5 feet 4 inches deep. Bushnell's room minimum, 18 feet deep, covers either one.

Golf simulator enclosure dimensions: the name is not the size

A kit's name is a nickname. Carl's spec sheets say so in a footnote: "The main listing size is a simplified name. Verify the actual outer dimensions to ensure a correct fit." The same sheets head the size column "(W x D)," but the numbers read height by width.

So Carl's names are roughly height by width, in feet, and the real frame often runs a few inches bigger. SkyTrak, which also sells Carl's DIY kit, lists it as "8'H x 8'W x 5'D." Carl's own sheet puts that frame at 100 inches tall and 100 wide, or 8 feet 4 inches each way.

Bushnell, SkyTrak and The Net Return name a kit by its width. Bushnell's 8' frame is 8 feet wide and 7 feet 6 inches tall. The Net Return's Bay 8 is 8 feet wide and 8 feet 6 inches tall.

So a kit with an 8 in its name can stand anywhere from 90 to 102 inches tall. Our golf simulator with an 8 foot ceiling guide covers what fits under 96 inches.

On a phone, tap the chart to open it full size. The hatched part of each Carl's bar is the room Carl's asks for over the frame.

How much ceiling the frame needs

Carl's sizing guide says, "Give yourself an absolute minimum of 2-3 inches buffer space from the height you have available." The Curved kit needs more: Carl's suggests "closer to 6-7 inches ceiling buffer space" for it. For width, Carl's says to "Subtract 4-6 inches from the width you have available (2-3 inches per side)."

Behind the frame, Carl's recommends 12 inches. Its rear fittings need at least 8.25 inches on the DIY kit and 9.5 inches on the Pro and Curved. The tables below add that buffer to each standard Carl's frame. The sums are our arithmetic.

Carl's Place DIY kit sizes (see the DIY kit)

Every DIY frame is 59.125 inches deep, and the rear fitting brings the footprint to 67.375 inches.

Carl's Place Pro kit sizes (see the Pro kit)

The Pro's depth names hide inches too. Carl's lists its 5 foot depth as 69.5 inches, almost 5 feet 10 inches, and the rear fitting adds 9.5 inches more. The other depths are 105.5, 129.5 and 189.5 inches.

Carl's Place Curved kit sizes (see the Curved kit)

The "lowest ceiling" column is for the frame alone. Your swing needs more room than that, and Carl's custom sizes fill the gaps between these rows.

To see which Carl's Place frame sizes fit under your lowest point, use our golf simulator room size calculator. It uses Carl's own 2 to 3 inch rule.

Our picks, from the makers' own numbers

Carl's Place DIY kit: best for most home rooms

Carl's DIY kit comes in six standard frames, from 95.8 to 112 inches tall, and Carl's will "customize golf screens and enclosures down to the inch." With Carl's buffer, the shortest standard frame needs about 99 inches of ceiling and the tallest about 115, by our arithmetic. Its spec sheet promises "Fast 1 hour assembly."

The box holds your choice of four screens, the BlackStop fabric walls and ceiling, steel corner fittings and zip ties. The pipes are on you: "you'll need to purchase 1-inch EMT (electrical metal tubing) from your local hardware store," unless you add Carl's DIY Pipe Framing Kit. Carl's says it will "include all details on what lengths and quantities of EMT are required."

As of October 24, 2026, the kit costs $999.95 to $1,874.95, and the pipe kit adds $349.95 to $414.95. The lowest full frame is the "8 x 8" with the Standard screen, at $1,349.90 by our arithmetic.

Each kit is made to order. Carl's says, "You'll get to see your delivery date in the shopping cart."

• Best for: most home rooms with 99 inches or more to the lowest point, at the lowest frame price we found.
• Skip it if: you want to hang a projector or launch monitor on the frame. SkyTrak, which sells this kit, notes that its 1 inch pipes "do not accommodate electronic frame mounting."
• Main compromise: foam, side nets and ceiling baffles cost extra. See what's extra.

Carl's Place Pro kit: best for a projector or launch monitor on the frame

The Pro frame uses 2 inch pipe, where the DIY uses 1 inch. Carl's says, "The Pro Enclosure frame is engineered to be strong enough to support mounted electronics, including projectors and overhead launch monitors." You can mount gear on the front bar or add the movable crossbar at the depth you need.

It comes in six standard sizes, from 102 to 123 inches tall, and four depths, from 5 to 15 feet by name. The box holds a one-piece wraparound fabric cover, a Premium white or High-Contrast Gray screen, foam inserts for the frame and the fittings. Carl's also sends a "Custom diagram" with your pipe lengths. Carl's says the wraparound cover cuts setup "from about three hours to two."

As of October 24, 2026, the kit costs $3,409.95 to $5,609.95, and Carl's Pro Pipe Framing Kit adds $910 to $1,550. Orders with Pro pipes ship by freight on a semi-truck.

• Best for: a room with 8 feet 8 inches or more to the ceiling, where an overhead launch monitor or projector will hang from the frame.
• Skip it if: your ceiling is under 104 inches. The shortest Pro frame plus Carl's 2 inch minimum buffer needs that much.
• Main compromise: the price. As of October 24, 2026, it starts at $4,319.95 with Carl's pipes, by our arithmetic, more than three times the DIY's lowest full frame.

Carl's Place Curved kit: the widest view, for a big room

The Curved kit is the only curved enclosure kit we found. The screen wraps around the hitting area, and the frames run 166 to 205 inches wide and 108 to 120 inches tall.

Plan for the extra ceiling room. With Carl's 6 to 7 inch buffer, the "9 x 14" needs about 9 feet 6 inches, and the "10 x 17" about 10 feet 6 inches, by our arithmetic. Our best golf simulator for a 9 foot ceiling guide explains why the standard Curved sizes miss a 9 foot room.

The box holds the Premium screen in white or gray, BlackStop fabric, steel fittings, foam and the ball bungees. Pipes are extra, and "Orders with a 'Pipe Framing Kit' ship freight." Carl's says "The heaviest box is likely to weigh about 50 pounds." As of October 24, 2026, the kit costs $4,894.95 to $6,629.95, and Carl's pipe kit adds $1,915 to $2,810.

• Best for: a wide room with 9 feet 6 inches or more to the lowest point, where you want the screen to fill your side view.
• Skip it if: your ceiling is 9 feet and you want a standard size. Carl's says a custom Curved can fit a room 9 feet high. Or look at its Pro and DIY sizes.
• Main compromise: the ceiling. Carl's asks for 6 to 7 inches over this frame, more than double the 2 to 3 inches for its other kits.

Carl's Ready-to-Golf Garmin R10 Bundle: best if you need the launch monitor too

If you don't own a launch monitor yet, this is a Garmin R10 golf simulator in one order. Carl's package brings its DIY frame, with the pipes and fittings. You also get a Premium or Gray screen, the foam kit, a BenQ projector, a ceiling projector mount and a 4x9 foot HotShot mat.

On the DIY kit alone, the pipes are extra. Not here.

You pick one of three frames: the "8 x 8," the "8 x 10.5" or the "9 x 12." Those are the DIY frames in our size table, so the real heights are 100, 100 and 112 inches. Carl's says to add a 2 to 3 inch buffer on each side and above the frame.

The R10 runs on a phone with the Garmin Golf app. It goes on the ground 6 to 8 feet behind the ball, and Garmin says "Your space must be at least 15 feet long by 8 feet wide by 8 feet high." Radar is the catch. Garmin wants the area "free from large objects or electronics" like fans and heaters, and Carl's reminds you that "sometimes launch monitor placements have requirements of their own." Check the room for the R10 as well as the frame.

As of October 24, 2026, Carl's package price starts at $5,526.84. Each frame is made to order, and Carl's says "cancellation and order change policies apply."

• Best for: a first simulator in a room at least 15 feet long, with the launch monitor and Carl's frame sizes in one order.
• Skip it if: you already own a launch monitor. Carl's DIY kit with its pipe kit starts at $1,349.90, by our arithmetic.
• Main compromise: the projector goes on your ceiling, since the DIY frame isn't made to hold electronics. Side nets aren't in Carl's list of what you get. As of October 24, 2026, Carl's net extensions cost $120 to $160 a pair.

Bushnell Launch Pro Simulator Bundle: the launch monitor with side nets included

Bushnell sells its enclosure only inside a simulator bundle, and its Launch Pro i bundle was listed as sold out on October 24, 2026. One order brings the enclosure, "Side Net Protection," a 5 by 5 foot turf mat, a 1080p projector, a computer cart and the Launch Pro launch monitor. Bushnell adds, "GAMING PC IS NOT INCLUDED AND REQUIRED TO POWER SIMULATION SOFTWARE."

The 8' size frame is 8 feet wide and 7 feet 6 inches tall. The 10' size is 10 feet wide and 8 feet 6 inches tall. Bushnell asks for a room at least 18 feet deep for both, and its Sim Fit Check tests your room against them. As of October 24, 2026, both sizes have a regular price of $6,499.99, and a sale was running.

Bushnell calls its enclosure guide a "Toolless" assembly guide. Delivery comes on a pallet: "The pallet-sized package is placed outside your home, so recruit a helper to move it inside."

• Best for: a first simulator, when you want the frame, screen, nets and launch monitor from one maker.
• Skip it if: you already own a launch monitor. A frame-only kit costs far less.
• Main compromise: Bushnell says, "Simulator package components (net, mat, frame, screen, projector) are not returnable." As of October 24, 2026, its FAQ also lists a $250 fee to cancel after 24 hours.

Our golf simulator packages compared guide lines up 29 packages, with returns and first-year costs.

The Net Return Simulator Bay: best for a shallow room, with everything in the box

The Net Return's frame is the shallowest we found. "All Simulator Bays share the same 3 feet 6 inches depth," and each one stands 8 feet 6 inches tall, in widths of 8, 10 or 12 feet. The Net Return says, "Allow 6 inches behind the bay."

The enclosure parts all come in one box. It "Includes frame, screen, valance, netting, side barriers and frame pads," and The Net Return says no tools are needed. The Net Return lists a minimum room 14 feet long and 9 feet high, but adds that "some monitors need up to 22 feet."

The warranty runs 3 years on the netting and 1 year on the screen. As of October 24, 2026, the Bay 8, Bay 10 and Bay 12 have regular prices of $1,995, $2,495 and $2,995, and a sale was running.

• Best for: a room where every foot of depth counts, and you want nets and pads in the same box.
• Skip it if: your ceiling is under 9 feet. The frame alone is 102 inches tall.
• Main compromise: one height only. You can't pick a shorter or taller frame.

SkyTrak Golf Simulator Enclosure: the lowest standard frame sold on its own

SkyTrak's 8' enclosure stands 7 feet 6 inches tall, 8 feet wide and 4 feet deep. That's the same height and width Bushnell lists for its 8' frame, but SkyTrak sells this one without a launch monitor. Its larger 10' and 12' frames stand 8 feet 6 inches tall, and the 13' Deep is 10 feet tall.

SkyTrak promises a "two person assembly in under an hour," with a steel frame, foam frame guards and bottom bags in the box. The screen is "designed for ball speeds up to 250 MPH." Side nets are extra: as of October 24, 2026, SkyTrak's pair costs $249 to $319.95.

As of October 24, 2026, the 8' and 10' sizes have a regular price of $1,995, the 12' $2,295 and the 13' Deep $2,495, and a sale was running.

• Best for: a ceiling near 8 feet, where a 90 inch frame leaves room to spare.
• Skip it if: you want full driver swings under a ceiling lower than 9 feet. The frame fits, but SkyTrak says "a standard golfer requires at least a 9-foot ceiling and 10 feet of width to safely swing a driver." Our golf simulator with an 8 foot ceiling guide covers what works lower.
• Main compromise: a return can cost you 20% or more. See returns and warranty.

Rain or Shine SwingBay: the fastest setup and the longest frame warranty

Rain or Shine says its SwingBay goes together with push buttons, and "Most customers have the SwingBay® fully assembled in under 20 minutes." The frame is 1.5 inch powder-coated aluminum. Rain or Shine backs it with a "3-year warranty on framing," the longest frame warranty we found.

The box holds the screen, the frame, blackout curtains, two triangular side nets with sandbags, frame padding and ball bungees. The 8x10 frame is 8 feet tall, 10 feet 5 inches wide and 4 feet 2 inches deep. Rain or Shine says a 9 foot ceiling "works for most players."

As of October 24, 2026, the regular price is $3,499 to $4,999, and a sale was running. Shipping is free by freight.

• Best for: a room you want set up fast, with nets in the box and a long frame warranty.
• Skip it if: price leads. SIG's SIG10 is about the same size with the frame in the box, at a $1,999.99 regular price as of October 24, 2026, and SIG had a sale running.
• Main compromise: Rain or Shine says "All returns are subject to a 20% restocking fee."

Carl's Place Built-In kit: for a finished golf room

Carl's Built-In kit skips the frame. Carl's describes it as a "Wall-anchored cable system built into the room": the screen hangs wall to wall, and you finish the walls and ceiling with tiles, curtains or padded panels. The kit itself brings "the hardware, cables, fasteners, and starter panels."

Carl's is blunt about the skill level: "Be Forewarned: This product can be like a challenging par-5. It's designed for handy people skilled at home reno projects." It lists a "Minimum Room Width: 14 ft if you want your tee-centered" and says "at least 9 ft is best for swinging." The Built-In kit page shows no set price, since you size it in Carl's online builder.

Carl's Place DIY vs Pro vs Curved

All three come from the same Wisconsin maker and use the same BlackStop fabric. The pipe size, the screen choices and what the frame can hold set them apart.

Carl's own blog sums up the DIY's job: "Use ground-based or ceiling-mounted electronics." That means a launch monitor on the floor and a projector on your ceiling. If you want both on the frame, the Pro is the one Carl's builds for it.

SIG10 vs Carl's Place DIY

These two are near twins in size. SIG's SIG10 measures 100 by 130 by 60 inches. Carl's DIY "8 x 10.5" measures 100 by 130.3 by 59.125. The big difference is the frame: SIG ships push-pin poles in the box, and Carl's leaves the pipes to you.

With the Premium screen and Carl's pipe kit, the Carl's frame comes to $1,993.90 as of October 24, 2026, by our arithmetic. That's within $7 of the SIG10's regular price. SIG's own DIY kit also comes without pipes, but it adds side nets and sandbags in the box.

Does the kit include the frame? The price with the frame

Often it doesn't. Many "kits" are the screen, the fabric and the corner fittings, and you buy the frame pipes yourself. The pipe is EMT, the steel tubing electricians use, sold at hardware stores.

• No frame in the box: Carl's DIY, Pro and Curved kits, and SIG's DIY kit. SIG says its DIY kits "DO NOT include the pipe/tube for the frame."
• Frame in the box: Bushnell, SkyTrak, SIG8, SIG10 and SIG12, Rain or Shine's SwingBay, The Net Return and Gungho.
• Unclear: Rain or Shine's simDIY. Its description says "One order ships the enclosure frame," but its spec table says "Framing NOT INCLUDED." Ask before you order.

Carl's pipe kits save the hardware store trip. The DIY pipe kit has "no special tools needed, no cutting, no hauling," and the Pro pipe kit brings "pre-cut and marked 2-inch EMT pipe." Here is what a frame costs in the end.

The last column's sums for Carl's are our arithmetic. Gungho's price is a starting point, since each kit is cut to your room.

What this means for you: compare kits with the frame added. A kit that looks cheap can land near one with poles in the box.

Golf simulator enclosure kit with impact screen: which screen?

Every kit here comes with an impact screen, the fabric the ball hits and the projector shines on. Carl's DIY kit offers the most choices, four in all.

• Standard: "Budget material perfect for beginners," and "Loosely woven."
• Preferred: "Smoother surface for better image quality," in a "Tightly woven knit."
• Premium: "3 layers of heavy-duty, impact-resistant polyester," with a "Noise-dampening center layer."
• High-Contrast Gray Premium: the Premium fabric in gray, "Great for areas with more ambient light."

The screen choice moves the price. As of October 24, 2026, the DIY "8 x 8" costs $999.95 with the Standard screen and $1,479.95 with the Premium. Carl's Pro and Curved kits come only with the Premium, in white or gray.

Other makers offer fewer choices. SIG offers "the SIGPRO Premium (white) or the SIGPRO Premier (gray)." The SwingBay comes with a single or triple layer screen, and Gungho uses a three-layer screen.

The 250 mph rating

Most makers rate the screen or the netting for ball speeds up to 250 mph. Carl's says its screens are "engineered to handle 250 mph screamers without flinching." SkyTrak, SIG, Rain or Shine, The Net Return and Gungho print the same 250 figure. None of the pages we read says how it was tested, so treat it as each maker's own claim. Bushnell's bundle pages give no ball-speed figure at all.

Want only a screen, with no enclosure? As of October 24, 2026, Carl's golf impact screens start at $179.95. Our best impact screen guide compares them.

Golf simulator enclosure with projector mount

Only one maker here says in writing that its frame can carry both a projector and an overhead launch monitor: Carl's Place, for the Pro kit. Carl's blog adds that the Curved "can mount electronics to the frame." The Pro's optional crossbar is "perfect for overhead launch monitors using our frame-mounting kits."

Here is where each kit puts the projector:

• Carl's DIY: not on the frame. Use the floor or your ceiling. As of October 24, 2026, Carl's Floor Mounted Projector Enclosure costs $299.95.
• SkyTrak: SkyTrak says its enclosure works with "both floor mounted projector shields and enclosure mounted brackets."
• SIG8, SIG10 and SIG12: SIG's spec table says "Projector mount included No." As of October 24, 2026, SIG sells a separate frame mount for $249.99.
• The Net Return: "Turf, projector and mount, launch monitor, software and computer are sold separately."

Overhead launch monitors need a ceiling or a frame strong enough to hold them. Our best launch monitor for a small space guide compares floor and overhead units.

Side nets, foam and baffles: what's in the box and what's extra

Side nets catch shanks before they reach a wall, and foam over the frame keeps a ball from bouncing back off a pipe. Some kits include both.

Carl's net extensions come 6, 8 or 10 feet deep and 92 inches tall, and a sandbag you fill holds each one down.

Carl's sells safety baffles for all three of its kits. They are "strips of vinyl that hang down 12-inches from the ceiling to help catch and knock down high-angle shots that might bounce off the screen." We found no ceiling baffles in the other kits' box lists.

How much room does the frame need?

The frame needs less room than your swing does, so check both.

Checkpoint: measure to the lowest point, not the ceiling. Joists, ducts, lights and pipes count. Then add the maker's buffer over the frame: 2 to 3 inches for a Carl's DIY or Pro, 6 to 7 for the Curved. Leave 12 inches behind a Carl's frame and 6 inches behind The Net Return's.

For the swing, each maker lists its own room minimum. Bushnell's and SkyTrak's lines include their launch monitors.

Carl's DIY, Pro and Curved pages list the frame and its buffer, and Carl's points you to its planner for the swing. Our golf simulator room size guide has the width, depth and height for every launch monitor. In a garage, door tracks often hang lower than the ceiling, so see our best golf simulator for a garage guide.

Assembly and delivery

Setup times range from 20 minutes to a few hours, by the makers' own claims:

• SwingBay: "under 20 minutes," per Rain or Shine.
• SkyTrak: "two person assembly in under an hour."
• Carl's DIY: "Fast 1 hour assembly."
• Carl's Pro: "Installs in About 2 Hours."
• The Net Return: "No tools needed."
• Rain or Shine simDIY: "Most DIY builds with one or two people take a few hours."

Big kits come by truck. Carl's says orders with Pro pipes or Built-In panels "will require a freight delivery," and "Items requiring a freight delivery will ship on a pallet via a semi-truck and trailer." Bushnell's pallet is left outside your home. Carl's makes each kit to order and shows the delivery date in the cart.

Ship times vary. The Net Return says its bays ship in 1 to 3 business days. Gungho says its standard and custom sizes have been shipping in about 2 to 3 weeks. SkyTrak lists free shipping, and the SwingBay ships free by freight.

Returns and warranty: what happens if it doesn't fit

Return terms run from a 15% restocking fee to parts that can't go back at all. A made-to-order frame costs real money to send back, so get the size right first.

We found no written warranty length for Carl's own enclosure kits on its product pages, spec sheets or Terms of Sale. Ask Carl's before you order, and keep the answer with your receipt.

Bushnell's bundle page shows a "30-Day Returns" badge, but the same page's FAQ and its returns page say package parts "are not returnable." Plan on the stricter line.

What to confirm before you order

A few answers aren't published, and some makers' pages disagree with each other. Ask in writing, and keep the answers with your order.

1. Carl's Place: what warranty covers my enclosure kit and screen? And which standard size fits under my lowest point with your 2 to 3 inch buffer?
2. Carl's Place, for the Curved kit with your pipe kit: what will freight cost to my address?
3. Bushnell: your bundle page shows "30-Day Returns," but your returns page says package parts "are not returnable." Which applies? Is the 10' frame 17 feet long or 5 feet 4 inches deep?
4. SkyTrak: your enclosure page lists a 20% restocking fee, and your policy page says "up to 40%." Which applies to my enclosure?
5. Rain or Shine: does my simDIY order ship with the frame or without it?

If a maker won't answer in writing, plan around the stricter number.

Common questions

What is the best golf simulator enclosure kit?

The best kit is the one whose real outer size fits your room with the maker's buffer. On the makers' numbers, the Carl's Place DIY kit fits the widest range of home rooms, with six sizes from 95.8 to 112 inches tall. Carl's Pro kit suits a projector or launch monitor on the frame, and The Net Return's bay suits a shallow room.

What size golf simulator enclosure do you need?

Measure to your lowest ceiling point, then subtract the maker's buffer to find your tallest frame. Carl's asks for 2 to 3 inches over a DIY or Pro frame and 6 to 7 inches over its Curved frame. Check the real outer height in inches, since a kit named "8 x 8" can stand 100 inches tall.

Do golf simulator enclosure kits come with the frame?

Some do and some don't. Carl's DIY, Pro and Curved kits and SIG's DIY kit leave out the frame pipes, so you buy 1 or 2 inch EMT or the maker's pipe kit. Bushnell, SkyTrak, SIG's SIG8, SIG10 and SIG12, the SwingBay, The Net Return and Gungho ship the frame in the box.

How can you build your own golf simulator enclosure?

Start with a DIY kit. It sends the screen, the fabric walls and the fittings, and you build the frame from 1 inch EMT pipe. Carl's and SIG both sell DIY kits that work this way, and Carl's sells a DIY Pipe Framing Kit if you'd rather skip the hardware store. Carl's spec sheet promises "Fast 1 hour assembly" for its DIY kit.

How much does a golf simulator enclosure kit cost?

As of October 24, 2026, Carl's kits with its own pipe kits run from $1,349.90 for the smallest DIY to $9,439.95 for the largest Curved, by our arithmetic. Frame-included kits from SIG, SkyTrak and The Net Return start near $1,800 to $2,000 at regular price. Bushnell's bundle, with a launch monitor, has a $6,499.99 regular price.

Can you mount a projector on a golf simulator enclosure?

On some. Carl's says its Pro frame can carry "projectors and overhead launch monitors," and SkyTrak says its enclosure works with frame-mounted brackets. SIG sells a separate frame mount. Carl's DIY frame isn't made for it, so a DIY setup uses the floor or the ceiling.

What is the difference between Carl's Place DIY and Pro enclosures?

The DIY frame uses 1 inch pipe, stands 95.8 to 112 inches tall and comes with four screen choices. The Pro uses 2 inch pipe, stands 102 to 123 inches tall, includes foam and can hold a projector or overhead launch monitor. As of October 24, 2026, the DIY kit starts at $999.95 and the Pro at $3,409.95, before pipes.

Your next step

Take three numbers tonight. Measure the width of the wall where the screen will go, the depth of the room, and the height to the lowest point over where you'll swing.

The free Golf Simulator Room Planner turns those numbers into a worksheet, with the makers' published room minimums side by side.
