The Foundation of Your Build
The DIY Series is designed to be the foundation for your custom golf simulator, giving you a premium enclosure platform you can build around with the screen, framing, and accessory options that fit your space best.
Fully Customizable
Choose the setup that works for you. From screen upgrades to framing solutions and light-control accessories, the DIY Series gives you flexibility without sacrificing the clean, finished look serious simulator buyers want.
Optional High-Contrast Gray Screen
Upgrade to our optional High-Contrast Gray Premium Golf Screen for improved image contrast and clarity, especially in rooms with ambient lighting, creating a more immersive visual experience.
Elite Sim Golf Support
We do more than ship boxes. We help customers build complete golf simulator setups with launch monitors, projectors, enclosures, mats, and real post-purchase support.
Why the Screen Matters
In a golf simulator enclosure, the impact screen does the heavy lifting. It affects image quality, sound, durability, and how the ball reacts at impact. Cheaper entry-level screens often mean more bounceback, more noise, and a shorter lifespan.
That’s why our DIY Series 10x8 includes a premium triple-layer screen as standard. You get a better simulator experience from day one instead of needing to upgrade later.
For buyers looking for even better image performance, our optional High-Contrast Gray Premium Golf Screen helps improve image contrast and clarity, especially in rooms with ambient lighting, creating a more immersive projected image.
- Improved durability for repeated real-ball use
- Cleaner projected image surface
- Better bounceback management
- More premium overall simulator feel
- Optional high-contrast gray screen for brighter-room performance
What’s Included
- Premium triple-layer impact screen
- Black enclosure surround panels
- Attachment and tensioning components
- Hardware required for enclosure assembly
- DIY setup guidance for your frame build
Note: Frame tubing is designed around standard 1" EMT conduit, allowing you to source pipes locally and avoid oversized freight costs — or choose optional pre-cut framing solutions for an easier install path.
Optional DIY Series Upgrades
Because the DIY Series is built to be the foundation for your custom golf simulator, you can tailor the enclosure with premium add-ons that improve image quality, frame protection, and overall ease of installation.
Back Cover / Blackout Sheet Kit
Reduce rear light leakage for a darker, cleaner projection environment and improved image quality. For customers wanting the most complete setup, this is one of the best upgrades for maximizing projected image performance.
Back Cover Pipe Kit
Add the optional back cover pipe kit for a simpler install, or source the pipe yourself locally and we’ll tell you exactly what sizes you need to complete the blackout and back cover setup.
Foam Insert Kit
Foam inserts fit neatly behind the screen flaps to help protect the enclosure frame and create a more finished, better-protected hitting bay setup.
Pipe Framing Kit
Your frame still requires 1-inch EMT to complete the build. Source it locally from a hardware store, or choose our optional pre-cut pipe framing kit for tubing cut to the exact lengths required for easier assembly.

This builder-friendly design also makes it a strong option for DIY and Do-It-Yourself golf simulator enclosure shoppers looking for premium materials.
Suggested Frame Cut List
| Piece | Qty | Approx. Length | Use |

Frame Planning Notes
- Use standard 1" EMT conduit sourced locally for easier purchasing and replacement.
- Measure your actual fittings before final cuts, especially if using specialty corner connectors.
- Confirm ceiling height and room depth before assembling the full frame.
- Leave enough depth behind the screen for safe ball impact absorption and proper tensioning.
- Make sure the frame sits square so the screen hangs evenly and projects cleanly.
- For a cleaner finish, dry-fit the frame first before final tightening and fabric installation.
