Folds Flat Against the Wall When the Room Has Other Plans
Fold-Away trades a fixed steel-tube frame for a folding pole system, so the enclosure can come down out of the way instead of occupying the garage or bonus room around the clock. High-density padding wraps the folding poles, a bungee enclosure system keeps the impact screen tensioned in the hitting position, and an extendable installation utility pole is included to make setup and takedown a one-person job. Roof and side wall panels complete the bay, folding flat against the wall to roughly 8″ deep between sessions.
Why Fold-Away — Built to Disappear Between Sessions
Fold-Away is built around a folding pole system instead of the fixed steel-tube frame used across the standard enclosure lineup. That single change is what lets the entire bay collapse flat against the wall, freeing the floor for a car, a workout bench, or anything else the room needs to do when golf is not on the schedule.
Folding Pole System
In place of a fixed steel-tube frame, Fold-Away uses a folding pole system that swings the entire enclosure down flat against the wall, rather than requiring disassembly to reclaim the room.
High-Density Padding
High-density padding wraps the folding poles for protection against stray strikes and to cushion the frame at the fold points through repeated use.
Bungee Enclosure System
A bungee enclosure system attaches and tensions the impact screen against the pole frame, keeping the hitting surface taut in the deployed position.
Extendable Installation Utility Pole
An extendable installation utility pole is included to assist with setup, making it easier for one person to raise and secure the frame without a ladder.
Roof and Side Wall Panels
Roof and side wall panels are included standard, giving the folded-out bay overhead and lateral containment for mis-hits during a session.
Space-Saving by Design
Manual fold-flat operation means no motor to maintain and no permanent floor footprint, built specifically for entry-level, budget-conscious setups.
Fold-Away Is Built for Shared-Use Space
Fold-Away is the entry point into the Elite Sim Golf enclosure lineup — designed for golfers who want at-home practice without giving up a garage bay or bonus room full-time.
The Shared-Garage Golfer
For garages that still need to park a car most of the day — fold the enclosure flat against the wall when practice is done and reclaim the space.
The Multi-Purpose Room Owner
For bonus rooms, playrooms, or home gyms that do double duty — Fold-Away steps out of the way instead of claiming the room permanently.
The Budget-Conscious First-Timer
For golfers building their first at-home setup and testing the habit before committing to a dedicated, always-assembled bay.

Choose a Projector for the Fold-Away 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.

Get the Space-Saving Bay That Fits the Room
Fold-Away solves the space problem that keeps many golfers from building a home setup at all, folding flat against the wall so the garage or bonus room can still do its other job. The Elite Sim Golf team can help confirm room fit, wall-mount placement, and projector pairing before the order ships.
Talk to a Simulator SpecialistFold-Away Questions
How much room do I need for the Fold-Away enclosure?
The folded-out hitting position is approximately 10’ wide, 8’ tall, and 4’ deep [PLACEholder — confirm]. When folded flat against the wall, it stores in roughly 8″ of depth [PLACEholder — confirm], so the floor space is available again between sessions.
What is included with the Fold-Away enclosure?
The package includes the folding pole frame system, a high-quality durable impact screen, high-density pole padding, the bungee enclosure system that tensions the screen, roof and side wall panels, an extendable installation utility pole for setup, and the required wall-mounting hardware.
Is a hitting mat included?
No. A hitting mat is not included and is sold separately, so the hitting surface can be matched to the room, budget, and performance needs.
Can I use this enclosure with any launch monitor?
Yes. Fold-Away is compatible with both ceiling-mounted overhead launch monitors and ground-based units, though ceiling clearance should be confirmed for the folded-out hitting height before installing an overhead mount.
What projector works with this enclosure?
The BenQ AK700ST is the premium 4K option and the Optoma GT2400HDR is the best-value laser option. The GT2400HDR uses an ultra-short 0.496:1 throw and should be verified against any ceiling-mounted overhead monitor bracket. Always confirm mounting distance with the Projector Fitment Tool before purchasing.
How does the fold-flat mechanism work?
Fold-Away uses a folding pole system, wrapped in high-density padding, that swings out from the wall into the hitting position and folds back flat against the wall when not in use. The included extendable installation utility pole assists with raising and securing the frame during setup. Operation is manual, not motorized.
Can it be moved or relocated?
Fold-Away is designed as a wall-mounted system rather than a free-standing frame. It is built to fold flat against a fixed wall-mount location rather than to be relocated between different walls or rooms on a regular basis.
Does it work for both right- and left-handed golfers?
Yes. The folded-out hitting width accommodates both right- and left-handed setups within the enclosure's hitting area.
Can I upgrade to a complete simulator package?
Yes. Fold-Away can be paired with a launch monitor, projector, and mat through a pre-configured SimKit or the SimKit Bundle Builder. Because Fold-Away is a new SKU, contact the team to confirm current enclosure options at checkout.
What screen aspect ratio does it use?
Fold-Away uses a 4:3 screen ratio [PLACEholder — confirm], the format most golf simulation software is optimized for.
How is Fold-Away different from the standard steel-frame enclosures?
The standard Birdie 10, Eagle 12, and Albatross 13 use a fixed steel-tube frame that stays assembled permanently. Fold-Away replaces that frame with a folding pole system so the entire enclosure can fold flat against the wall between uses, making it the space-saving, entry-level option built for shared-use garages and multi-purpose rooms rather than a dedicated, always-assembled bay.
