Shoes bro! Do you not want to keep your toes? Or acid on your skin?!? It will erase concrete and you’re wearing flip flops. People please take care of your body unlike this guy. Great looking concrete floor but not worth losing your skin or feet

Thanks !!!!

Gotta give that tape the ol Mortimer!!

Thank you for this! I tried watching some of the user-submitted videos for the LED bulbs on Amazon and, to be nice, they were incredibly frustrating. They gave no rationale for cutting wires, some not even explaining (wtf) a ballast is, and just assumed I knew how to do this. Some suggested soldering..I don't have one of those tools. I had 0 confidence in doing this "easy installation" the product boasts...blindly cutting wires that at some point would be hot and potentially burn down my house. I was ready to just go with a fluorescent bulb when I decided to YT search it and saw your video. Your video not only discusses its purpose and setup, you show how easy it is using simple terms and straight-forward guidance. Thank you! I now know why the ballast isn't necessary, how to safely rewire everything, and why plug and play isn't always the answer. Solid instructional video! You gained a subscriber.

The best installation video I've watched. Great advice on placement of seams.

Great video! I liked how you showed different techniques for the different situations.

Excellent

Great work ! Love it

Say "monitor" again...

So no primer is needed

So what do you do when water floods the basement and gets trapped between the plastic barrier and bottom of planks? Not good scenario.

Excellent video with great instructions. Thank you for sharing your video. 😊

Very detailed! I only wish your garage opening was the same as mine. Your floor drops off right where the garage door closes. So it’s easy to know where to stop painting. My garage floor extends out past the closed door. So your options are: 1. Paint to where the floor ends, which would be outside the door by 4-5 inches. IMO this wouldn’t look right. 2. Close the garage door and paint a line up to the door. I believe this is the method I used in the past. The paint goes down with some give so you can cut in a straight enough line without getting any on the bottom of the garage door. 3. Put painters tape down in a straight line. Using a laser to help guide the placement of the tape is best, or if you don’t have a laser then use the closed garage door. Make markings where the door rests then extend tape touching the marked lines. Brush up to or a little over the painters tape.

Great way to show how to end up with injuries. What dumbass wears sandals when running equipment and pouring acid.

I would love to have your genius do the same for those of us with a need for a retractable or movable enclosure. This was an incredibly well done video. I don’t know how you can stand on a ladder barefoot my man.

The dollar store has pool noodles that are thicker than the pipe insulation

If you put some goo gone on the stickers, they come off easily. Wet the stickers first then use the scraper, when the paper is off rub the Goo Gone on the sticky residue, and Robert is your Dad's brother.

Completed my build yesterday and I'm a big fan of this video. It was a lot of help. Here are a few lessons learned. This took me much longer than I thought it would. Probably spent a solid 12-14 hours not including the time I spent painting a few pipes (For your reference, my skill set and experience with DIY is quite a lot, but I am a perfectionist). Instead of painting all pipes black, I bought black pipe insulation for all pipes that wouldn't be covered by the side and back padding. This resulted in me only needing to paint 3 pipes and back 4 corner fittings (I have a 10' wide enclosure; thus, this would be different for 12' wide... assuming 6 pipes and 6 back fittings depending on how long you cut your back pipes). The reason I did this is that I will have kids and their friends playing, thus I wanted some type of insulation on every pipe possible. I also found that the vinyl padding on the back sides and top was not sufficient to my liking. Balls could and will find ways to go out the back as the pads were "relatively loose" to the side and top duck material... Maybe this was due to me not installing it correctly... not sure. So, I doubled up on it. What I mean is that I created another layer of insulation (same size as other 5" cuts) and stuffed them in the sides and top between the enclosure and initial vinyl wrapped insulation. This created a very tight fitting between the vinyl insulation and duck fabric. Lastly, instead of using rope string on the side, I was able to use bungies around the front pole. It helped that my side fabric length wrapped perfectly around the pole. Though, this resulted in me running out of bungies, so I did one side with bungies and the other side with the string method as it is not exposed and sitting up close to a wall. Additionally, due to lack of bungies, I used zip ties on a few gromets. Overall, I am really happy with the build. Thanks again Maz! Final cost was $840ish. I did get fabric on sale, but did buy extra vinyl fabric and a slightly larger (extra cost here was marginal) foam mattress. I borrowed pipe cutter from my dad, so saved me approximately $16 there.

how's the screen holding up? Any wear and tear? are tear holes starting to show?

Excellent video. I noticed your support pillars at the end of the video, how did you covered them up?

Great video. Did you remove the spacers against the wall after everything was completed?

Can you cut the top outermost pipe in the middle and connect it to a T joint so you could add a pipe for a projector?

Hey brother....awesome video. I just need a little explanation on the EMT dimensions. You say they only come in 10' widths. You are right because that is all I see at HD and Lowes. You say your build is 12' wide. How did you get there? Buy six 10' and cut each one to 6' and then have six 4' of scrap leftover? Also......you said, your enclosure needs to be 3" bigger than your impact screen......so, 1.5" on each side for a total of 3"s? Sorry, one more question and this is just for the width......if my impact screen is 10'x10', my enclosure should be 10'3"?.....can I just buy three 10' EMT's. cut them to 5' and then not stick them all the way flush into the middle spacer to get that 3" total I need, tighten them down with the screws to get that width of 10'3' for the enclosure.

If you are looking to bypass the ballast and switch to LEDs, you'll need Type B LED tubes like mentioned... BUT I don't know if all of the type B's are made for ballast bypass? I have direct replacement and plug and play bulbs i just bought which I don't believe will work since it needs to say ballast bypass on the packaging. I may just end up buying a new ballast because it seems that the majority of the LED bulbs are made for direct replacement or plug and play which won't work with the ballast bypass?

Any reason for not having 3x 10' sections with 2' added each end to make it 12' wide instead of cutting 6x 10' sections into 6' pieces?

For those who do not know. You grind so that the epoxy application is able to grab it to the substrate. If you dont do this step, you will have temporary positive results. Since you are saving money by dyi. Dont skip the steps. And a extra layer if protection to avoid the hot tire issue. Buy some of those heavy duty gtm mats. Rubber ones and place them where your tires are when parked inside. Its a cheap way to protect all that work.

I missed it in your video. What did you use for your the flooring?

Great video. I just got my screen in the mail. How are the grommets holding up so far? Have any of them started to rip out?

Is the projector and TV in different aspect ratios? I’d like to duplicate my projector on a TV to the side like you have but have issues since the TV is 16:9 and my screen is 4:3.

Great video

I'm about going crazy trying to find a replacement ballast. Then, I found your video. I'm going to try this. Thanks for being so informative & concise! (A few hours later.....) Back from the second home depot visit with what I needed. I was so happy to cut that ballast out of that fixture! Did the wiring as you directed. Installed the bulbs and "ta daa"! I've fallen off a log with more difficulty. Only thing I could add was that when I was installing the lights, I had a stripe down the bottom side of the bulbs. This was because I wanted to position the colour light button towards me to adjust it. Once adjusted, I realized I might be able to turn the bulb around by removing it and while keeping it in the same direction, just rotate it on the pins. After doing that, we got more light in the colour we wanted. A "Thank You" hardly seems enough! Here's the icing on the cake. The fixture was half the price of a new ballast!

Maybe a leaf blower to set the chips fully into the epoxy might be a good idea for anyone watching. Hell. I'll be doing this come spring. Perhaps I'll make a video.

I'd wet grind, power wash, degrease, power wash again. Sludge gone.

Phenomenal video. You absolutely clarified several things for me that were left out of a lot of the videos that I have watched. Great job!

Thanks so much for the great video, short and to the point. I had replaced the old bulbs in my wife’s office a few years ago and installed newer ballasts for the LED lights. I was note aware they had improved and created an even more efficient bulb eliminating the ballast. You pointed out how to identify and rewire the old light. Very helpful for the DIY folks.

WOW best golf simulator build i've seen....and down to every detail. Not only it is cost effective, but it is a nice looking setup. This will be my model when i finally decide to build mine. Ohhh, first thing i researched after watching this, is how much those grommet kit costs LOL

Never done this but can you just wet grind this to keep the dust down?

Does it work on wooden floors

How far is it from where you hit your ball from to the base of the impact screen?

How far is it from where you hit your ball from to the base of the impact screen?

Excellent..but I didnt catch why not too good use a extra lay of clearcoat....why? Thanks!

I have a two way switch in my bathroom can i install the dimmer on one switch and will it work

Maz- I applied grommets to the black duck canvas, as I was completing that process it was getting more difficult to compress the grommet and cutting the fabric out of the center. I returned that tool to Amazon and purchased a new one. I'll update on the success of that one when I receive it.

Maz - bought the same screen. The same grommet set from amazon. I don't know if mine is defective but my grommet tool will not cut the hole and the grommet will not crimp on itself. The impact screen seems so durable that the grommet will not penetrate the screen. Any ideas what to do next? great video by the way.

Beautiful!

This is the perfect video. It is concise and to the point. It is not too long and there is no unnecessary commentary. The step by step instructions are excellent and easy to follow.

Lmao…

Did you redo the baseboards as well?

You'll want to put the cleear sealer on this because the vinyl chips will get dirty.

I am really interested in building a simulator identical to your and I’m struggling to pull the trigger. I was wondering if you can send a list of all of the items you purchased for yours so I can price it out in todays prices. You did a great DIY video and I appreciate people like you that take the time to help others that are like minded.
