Just started dabbling in outfitting custom built barns with golf simulators. Pretty fun side job. Lots to learn but coming together nicely! I’ll post more updates of the final results.

Very nice. I'd love to hear about the materials used and the time it takes.

I have thought about putting a golf sim in one of my garage bays.

Thought about using 2” thick adhesive backed foam, but it didn’t look good. So we got some heavy duty black vinyl wrapped that around plywood with foam. Did an overlap on the boards with the foam facing the screen so the edges are protected as well. Then ran screws and cover them with buttons and leftover vinyl. Next one we do we are buying a bigger screen so we don’t have to frame it in like this one.

Carpet and trim in. Heavy curtains along the side to catch the shanks and hooks.

You should play a round with an 18 pack to test its safety. You KNOW the owner and his boys are going to.

The back 9 is a mess.

Yeah it’s always the back 9! Worst thing that could happen besides a full whammy bounce back to the face is taking out the projector with a back swing. Projector placement is key for the limited height.

What did you put over the lights to protect them?

We put 2” thick foam around them. You’re standing about 10’ or less from the screen. Chances of actually hitting straight into the light should be low albeit not impossible.

My thought was a club slipping out of someone's hand. Just something to think about.

Club slipping out of a hand on an indoor range is very unlikely. The only time a club ever slipped out of my hand by accident was in the pouring rain. In any case I would worry more about the projector than a light.

The lights do have a pretty durable cover at least. We looked into finding a suitable cover but nothing looked good. Also thought about trying to attach something to the vinyl but nothing seem aesthetically pleasing or durable so we left well enough alone.
