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 from high-quality nylon materials 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, or Premium screens, each crafted to deliver a seamless floor-to-turf image with minimal bounceback.
Black Nylon 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.
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).
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.
Baffles: 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.

Carl's Place DIY Enclosure
Here's everything you need to know before you buy.
Why Carl's Place
The most popular DIY enclosure in home simulation.
Floor-to-Turf Borderless Screen
The screen extends all the way to the floor — no black border at the bottom, no awkward gap between turf and image. Putting and short game shots look realistic because the image doesn't end at knee height. This is Carl's signature design feature.
6 Sizes. 4 Screen Options.
Choose from six enclosure sizes — from a compact 8'×8' to a full 9'×12' bay — and pair with your choice of Standard, Preferred, Premium, or High-Contrast Gray impact screen. One of the most configurable DIY kits in the industry.
One Person Can Build It
Most customers assemble the enclosure alone in just over an hour. The frame uses 1" EMT pipe and steel corner fittings — the nylon enclosure and screen attach via Velcro, zip ties, and ball bungees. Clear instructions included.
Withstands 250 MPH Shots
Carl's screens are tested to withstand repeated impacts from golf balls traveling up to 250 MPH. The bottom cable + zip tie system reduces bounce-back, keeping balls in the bay and off your walls.
Works with Ground-Based and Overhead Launch Monitors
Works with ground-based, portable, and overhead launch monitors. Compatible with floor-mounted systems like the Garmin R50, Spica 3, and Rapsodo MLM2Pro — as well as overhead units like the ProTee VX and VTrack.
Sim Builder Ready · Custom Sizes Available
This is the enclosure we use in the Golf Sim Depot Simulator Builder — our most recommended DIY enclosure for home bays. Custom sizes are available up to a 112" × 150" viewable screen. Need something larger? Step up to the Carl's Place Pro Enclosure.
Impact Screen Options
Choose your screen — it matters.
All four screens extend to the floor for Carl's borderless image. The difference is image quality, durability, and how your room handles light. Here's the breakdown:
Entry Level
Standard
Loosely woven single-layer material. Budget-friendly starter option — solid for practice and casual use. Image quality is good but not as crisp as the upper tiers.
Best for: budget builds, secondary bays
Mid-Tier
Preferred
Tighter weave with silicone reinforcement — noticeably crisper image than Standard. Single-layer but tightly woven for good durability. The sweet spot of price and performance for most home setups.
Best for: most home simulator builds
Top Pick
Premium
Three layers of heavy-duty impact-resistant polyester with a noise-dampening center. Softer at impact, noticeably quieter, and the highest image quality Carl's offers in white. Survives years of daily driver shots.
Best for: serious setups, daily use
Best for Bright Rooms
High-Contrast Gray
Same triple-layer construction as Premium, but in a gray tone that boosts contrast, deepens blacks, and enhances color vibrancy. Designed for rooms that can't be fully blacked out — like garages with windows or commercial bays with ambient light.
Best for: ambient light, short-throw projectors
Not sure which screen to choose? If your room has light spill → High-Contrast Gray. For pure image quality in a dark room → Premium. Text us at (770) 766-5571 and we'll give you a straight recommendation.
Enclosure Sizes
Find the right fit for your space
Allow 2–3" of buffer space above and on each side of the enclosure frame. Allow 12–16" of clear space behind the impact screen — anything touching the back of the screen can cause premature wear.
| Listed Size | Aspect Ratio | Overall H | Overall W | Viewable H | Viewable W | Diagonal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8' × 8' | 1:1 | 100" | 100" | 88.6" | 88.6" | 125.3" |
| 7.7' × 10' | 4:3 | 95.8" | 124.8" | 85" | 113.4" | 141.7" |
| 8' × 10.5' | 4:3 | 100" | 130.3" | 89.2" | 118.9" | 148.7" |
| 7.7' × 13' | 16:9 | 95.8" | 163.3" | 85.5" | 151.9" | 174.3" |
| 8.5' × 11.5' | 4:3 | 107.5" | 140.3" | 96.7" | 128.9" | 161.2" |
| 9' × 12' ★ | 4:3 | 112" | 146.3" | 101.2" | 134.9" | 168.7" |

Add-On Accessories
Complete your build — don't skip these.
Recommended for Every Setup
Recommended
Pipe Framing Kit
Pre-measured and cut 1" EMT pipes sized for your enclosure. Skip the trip to the hardware store, the measuring, and the cutting. The kit arrives ready to assemble. Note: pipes are NOT included in the base kit — you must either add this or source your own EMT locally.
Recommended
Foam Insert Kit
Foam padding that covers the exposed pipe frame to protect you and the enclosure from stray shots that hit the sides or top of the frame. A straightforward safety upgrade that most builders add.
Recommended
Safety Baffle
Hangs from the ceiling at the top of the enclosure to catch high-angle shots that might bounce off the screen and back toward the golfer. Particularly useful in commercial setups or for golfers who frequently hit high pop-up shots.
Recommended for Rooms with Ambient Light
Back Cover Kit
Wraps the rear of the enclosure with black fabric to block ambient light from leaking into the bay and prevent projector light from leaking out. A big difference in image quality if your room isn't fully dark. Includes the cover fabric — pipes sold separately or add the pipe kit.
Net Wall Extensions (Pair)
Side netting that extends the enclosure's protection zone to catch shanks and errant shots before they reach the side walls. Think of these as insurance for the walls — useful if you're worried about the occasional shank bouncing around the room.

In the base kit
- Black nylon enclosure (sides, top, and surround)

Common Questions
FAQ
No — pipes are not included in the base kit. You have two options: add the Carl's Place Pipe Framing Kit accessory (pre-cut to your enclosure size, saves time), or purchase 1" EMT pipe from a local hardware store like Home Depot. Carl's Place includes a detailed pipe list with exact lengths and quantities for whichever size you choose.
For most home setups: Preferred is the best value. If you use it daily and want the best image quality and durability, go Premium. If your room has windows, light spill, or you're pairing with a short-throw projector, High-Contrast Gray makes a real difference — it boosts contrast and deepens blacks in ambient light conditions. Skip Standard unless budget is the primary driver.
Yes — most customers build it alone in just over an hour. The hardest step is connecting the long crossbars overhead, which is easier with a second pair of hands. Everything else is straightforward: the fittings connect the pipes, the nylon enclosure attaches with Velcro and bungees, and the screen secures with zip ties and a bottom cable.
Allow 12–16" of free space behind the impact screen. Anything pressing against the back of the screen adds friction, causes premature wear, and can be a safety hazard. Also allow 2–3" of buffer around all sides of the enclosure frame so it fits without forcing.
Yes — the frame is engineered to support mounted electronics including projectors and overhead launch monitors. Make sure your crossbar position accommodates your specific monitor's mounting requirements. Text us if you need help confirming compatibility with your overhead unit.
Custom sizes are available up to a 112" × 150" viewable screen — this is also the enclosure we use in our Golf Sim Builder. If your room needs something larger than that, you'll need to step up to the Carl's Place Pro Enclosure. Text or email us at (770) 766-5571 or support@golfsimdepot.com with your room dimensions and we'll point you in the right direction.
Call or text a Golf Sim Depot product expert at (770) 766-5571 or email support@golfsimdepot.com, Monday–Friday 9–5 EST. We can help confirm the right size, screen choice, accessories, and projector pairing for your specific room.
Let customers speak for us
Truly incredible
I’ve tested multiple overhead launch monitors looking for the best mix of accuracy, reliability, and price. Nothing has come close to the ProTee. It simply works every time. The tracking is fast, consistent, and doesn’t require constant tweaking or recalibration like others I’ve owned. The software is a standout too: intuitive, polished, and far more advanced than I expected at this price point.
For anyone building a home simulator and wanting overhead performance without spending 20k, this is the new standard. ProTee absolutely nailed it.

ProTee VX Launch Monitor
Great Launch Monitor!
Have had the ProTeeVX set up for a little over a week and it's been amazing so far. Wasn't totally clear on the dimension requirements and Golf Sim Depot was super helpful through their chat feature and answered all my questions. Bundling this, the protective cover, GSPro AND getting two free swing cams is an incredible deal for a top quality product.

ProTee VX Launch Monitor
Great customer service!
I had questions about the Protee VX so I called Golf Sim Depot. Kyle answered the phone right away and answered all my questions. I am working on revamping my simulator so he also spent some time talking to me about it and some of the choices I have for the revamp. I bought the Protee VX from Golf Sim Depot and couldn't be happier.

Beyond Expectations
I've been a business owner since I was 12 years old; customer service is the blood that flows for the success of any business. Kyle and his team at Golf Sim Depot have met those standards, from choosing the right sim for my space to following through when an issue arose with my screen. Thank you, Kyle; you have a customer for life.

ProTee VX Launch Monitor
Perfect
It is my second Softy. It is worth my health. I am 65. I have hit my share of fat shots. No one had any issue with smacking the club. The last straw was my friend hitting the raised back edge. The first is a little warn in the center - still usable but needs repair gluing the corners and edges after forcing it into a cut out in my mat. This new one fits like a well fitted golf glove. I could not be happier with the product. Regarding Golf Sim Depot: I have had several great experiences with Kylie upgrading from Skytrak to Uneekor EML and then Uneekor's Optix package. This Softy was derived quickly like all the other purchases.
