Carl’s Place DIY Golf Enclosure Kit with Impact Screen
Built to the exact dimensions of the room, this DIY enclosure kit from Carl’s Place pairs a floor-to-turf impact screen with the durable BlackStop™ surround. Choose the screen material, add the Pipe Framing Kit for a no-cutting build, and get a golf bay sized for the space — not the other way around.
What’s Included in the Kit
Every DIY Golf Enclosure Kit ships with the impact screen, BlackStop™ enclosure surround, and the fittings needed to connect the frame. Pipe is sized to the room and can be sourced locally or added as a pre-cut kit.
Impact Screen
Floor-to-turf drop with minimal bounceback. Choose from four material tiers depending on image quality and room lighting needs.
BlackStop™ Enclosure
Shades the screen for a brighter image and catches shots that miss or glance off the screen, keeping golf balls off the walls.
Steel Corner Fittings
Connects the frame at every joint. Pipe is sold separately unless the Pipe Framing Kit add-on is selected at checkout.
Zip Tie Fastener Set
Secures the screen to the frame with room to adjust tension based on swing style, ball speed, and how close the setup sits to the screen.
Made-to-Order Sizing
Dimensions are built around the actual room instead of forcing the room to fit a fixed enclosure size.
Optional Pipe Framing Kit
Skip the hardware store trip. Add pre-cut frame pipe sized exactly to the kit’s dimensions — no cutting, no extra tools.
Four Screen Material Tiers
Screen material is selected as a variant at checkout. Each tier is engineered for a floor-to-turf image with minimal bounceback — the difference is surface smoothness, image quality, and ambient light handling.
- Budget material, good for beginners
- 100% heavy-duty polyester
- Loosely woven
- Smoother surface, better image quality
- 100% heavy-duty polyester
- Strong silicone reinforcement, tightly woven knit
- Smoothest surface available
- 3 layers of impact-resistant polyester
- Noise-dampening center layer
- Same top-tier material as Premium
- Deeper blacks, richer colors
- Best for rooms with more ambient light
A Fit for Non-Standard Rooms
The Odd-Shaped Room
Sunrooms, bonus rooms, and basements rarely match a fixed 10′/12′/13′ enclosure. Made-to-order sizing fits the room instead of the room fitting the enclosure.
The Budget-Conscious Builder
Starting at $999.95, this is the lowest cost of entry into a full enclosure setup on Elite Sim Golf without giving up floor-to-turf screen coverage.
The Hands-On DIYer
For builders who want to size, source, and assemble their own frame — with the Pipe Framing Kit available for anyone who’d rather skip the hardware store.

Round Out the Build
Carl’s Place offers several accessories that pair with the DIY enclosure kit for extra protection or a more finished bay.
Foam Insert Kit
Fills the gap where flaps stretch from screen to wall for an added layer of protection against frame contact.
Safety Baffles
Vinyl ceiling baffles positioned at different screen distances to catch high-angle shots before they rebound into the room.
Net Wall Extensions
Hook-and-loop net panels that attach to the enclosure for extra coverage against shanks and mis-hits.
Back Cover Kit
Blocks ambient light from behind the enclosure. Pipe sold separately, or add the pre-cut Back Cover Pipe Kit.
Choose a Projector for This Enclosure
The right projector depends on room depth, ceiling height, and whether a ceiling-mounted overhead launch monitor will be installed. Use the Projector Fitment Tool to confirm mounting distance before purchasing, since this enclosure is made to order and room depth varies.
BenQ AK700ST
- 4K UHD, 4,000 ANSI lumens
- Throw ratio 0.69–0.83
- Laser light source, 20,000hr life
- Auto Screen Fit, Golf Mode, IP5X
Optoma GT2400HDR

- DuraCore laser, 30,000hr life
- 8.4ms lag, IP6X, HDR10/HLG, 360°
Not Sure Which Projector Fits This Room?
Since this enclosure is built to custom dimensions, confirming throw distance matters more here than with a fixed-size enclosure.

Questions about sizing this kit to a specific room?
Contact Us →Size It to the Space, Not the Other Way Around
Carl’s Place builds this enclosure kit to order, so the exact dimensions of the room become the starting point instead of a constraint. Reach out to size a kit for a specific space.
Contact UsCommon Questions
How much room do I need for this enclosure?
Because this kit is made to order, dimensions are built around the actual room rather than a fixed size. Provide the available width, height, and depth at checkout or through the contact form to get an accurate build spec.
What screen aspect ratio does it use and why does it matter?
Aspect ratio follows the custom width and height selected, since the screen is sized to the enclosure rather than fixed to a single ratio. Matching the screen ratio to the intended projector and launch monitor image keeps the picture from being cropped or stretched.
What is included with the enclosure kit?
The kit includes the impact screen (in the selected material tier), the BlackStop™ enclosure surround, steel corner fittings, and zip ties for securing the screen to the frame. Frame pipe is sold separately unless the Pipe Framing Kit add-on is selected.
Is a hitting mat included?
No. The hitting mat and landing pad are sold separately. See the SimKit pairing section above for pre-configured packages that include a mat.
Can I use this enclosure with any launch monitor?
Yes. The enclosure kit is launch-monitor agnostic. Ceiling-mounted overhead units and floor-based camera or radar units both work, provided ceiling height and room depth are accounted for when sizing the kit.
What projector works with this enclosure?
The BenQ AK700ST (premium 4K) and Optoma GT2400HDR (best value laser) both pair well. Because this enclosure is custom-sized, use the Projector Fitment Tool to confirm throw distance for the specific room before purchasing — particularly with the GT2400HDR’s ultra-short throw ratio if a ceiling-mounted overhead launch monitor is also installed.
How long does assembly take?
Assembly time varies with enclosure size and whether the Pipe Framing Kit add-on is selected. Pre-cut pipe removes the cutting and sourcing step, which is typically the longest part of a DIY build.
Can I disassemble and move it?
Yes. The frame connects with corner fittings and is not permanently fixed, so the enclosure can be broken down and reassembled in a new location.
Does it work for both right- and left-handed golfers?
Yes. The enclosure and screen are symmetrical, so orientation does not affect right- or left-handed setups.
Can I upgrade to a complete simulator package?
Yes. Pair this enclosure kit with a launch monitor, projector, and hitting mat through the Custom Bundle Builder, or choose a pre-configured SimKit and select this enclosure at checkout.
How is this different from the Birdie 10, Eagle 12, or Albatross 13 enclosures?
The Birdie 10, Eagle 12, and Albatross 13 are fixed-size Elite Sim Golf enclosures with a set frame, premium velvet lining, and included assembly hardware. This Carl’s Place kit is made to order to the room’s exact dimensions, uses the BlackStop™ surround, and is priced as a lower-cost DIY option with frame pipe sourced separately unless the Pipe Framing Kit is added.
