FAQ

Q: What is included with the Garmin Approach® R50 Carl's Place DIY Golf Simulator Package?
A: Garmin Approach® R50 Launch Monitor, Carl's Place C-Series DIY Golf Simulator Enclosure Kit with choice of Premium or High-Contrast Gray Impact Screen, and your choice from BenQ, LG, Epson, or Optoma projectors.

Q: How far away should I stand from my impact screen?
A: For the safety of both the golfer and the screen, we recommend standing a minimum of 10-12 feet away from the screen.

Q: How much buffer space do I need around my enclosure?
A: For Carl's Place DIY Enclosure Kits, we recommend you give yourself an absolute minimum of 2-3 inches buffer space from the height you have available. For width, subtract 4-6 inches from your available space to allow 2-3 inches of clearance on each side. Keep in mind that C-Series enclosures include a rear backset fitting that adds 8.25 inches to the depth, creating a built-in buffer for safety.

Q: How much space do I need for the enclosure?
A: When planning your simulator space, consider several factors including buffer space around walls and ceilings, enclosure footprint, launch monitor requirements, safe golfer distance (10-12 feet from the screen), golfer height, club length, turf thickness, and any nearby furniture or doorways.

Q: What if the black enclosure material gets hit with a golf ball?
A: The black enclosure material isn’t designed to take direct hits, but if a ball bounces off the impact screen and hits the enclosure, you should not experience any issues.

Q: What pipes do I need to construct the enclosure kit frame?
A: DIY Enclosures require 1-inch EMT (Electrical Metal Tubing). You can either add a pre-cut Pipe Framing Kit for DIY Golf Simulator Enclosure to your order or source EMT locally.

Q: How long does it take to assemble the enclosure?
A: Assembly time for DIY Golf Simulator Enclosure Kits is about an hour, depending on size and whether you have a helper. For guidance, refer to our assembly video and manual.

Q: Where and how should I mount my projector?
A: Projector placement depends on your viewable screen dimensions and the throw ratio of your projector. Feel free to reach out to our team so we can provide you with the exact mounting location based upon the enclosure size and projector that you choose. Common mounting options include flush or drop mounts.
