Hi really love the video and details on the design. I am looking to build one for my studio. You mention the roof juts out 1 meter. Did you weld more square tubing to the frame to build it? Could you tell me a little more ? Dimensions for the tubing? and then lined with the ply? Thank you in advance
no I didn't weld the tubing. The "Y" sections I talk about in the top left and right corners were four sided instead of three sided inserts so I could slide the tubing over to build the "ceiling". Then I covered the underside with 3/8" plywood so I could glue the acoustic foam panels to the plywood. The tubing is 50mmx50mmx2.5mm
Awesome video after watching I am considering almost copying your build. Just a few questions though: 1. What is your option on the fiberbuilt mat and have you noticed any wear and tear on the standing section. 2. With the rhs tubing I was a little bit unsure what process you used. To me it seems you were saying you cut the tubing to your dimensions and inserted it in different joints to build the frame and then had it welded. I want to save some money on a frame and have access to a quality welder for cheap and am wondering what tips you would give on building the frame and the math in determining the size of anything. Thanks a lot, I would really appreciate any other photos you have of the original frame and build so that if i decide to copy I have a reference.
Hi Oakmont. 1. I can't comment on this one because my standing area on the Fiberbuilt mat has no wear on it at all. Its been years of standing on it with golf shoes and no wear. However I never hit golf shots from this area, meaning no golf club impact on the standing area. 2. Pause the video at the 5:50 mark. As an example look at F4. I only welded these sections, I made a piece out of smaller tubing and inserted it into the larger tubing then bolted it together. These are the corners of the main structure that hold everything together. When built this way I'm able to take apart the frame anytime to relocate. My frame is currently locked away in storage since I moved. If you show your qualified welded my video, his mind will work in a way he will understand the design. Happy to meet you on Microsoft Teams to walk you through the design.
awesome video, hoping to builda 16x20 shed next year. Can you make a video more of the garage/shed structure itself? Did you build it, what was the cost, why you decided on a metal building. etc.
Hi James, thanks for the comment. Please subscribe and like the video. I've recently purchased a new home, and my simulator is no more. At the new home I am planning on rebuilding my sim bay, but time and money is in the way. Especially the COVID build prices are holding me back. I kind of built the building for the last sim on the video. Basically I picked the size of the structure 6mx6mx3m and had a cement contractor come in to pour the concrete base. Once the base was complete and painted dark grey I ordered a "shed" package to accommodate the concrete pad. I live in Australia, and steel shed structures of all shapes and sizes are extremely common here and very cost effective for what you get compared to a lumber structure. see weblink below. www.southerncrosssheds.com/products/domestic-sheds/ I chose to insulate and add air conditioning to the structure for obvious reasons. The shed structure was assembled and finished in one business day compared to the lumber building. Once the building was built, I had an electrician come in and add all the power points I required based on my plan and imagination. The shed without the concrete pad insulated and assembled was approx. $6k, then the electrical wiring etc. I did all the trenching for the main power to the building to shave some labour costs, and completely wired all of the low voltage A/V cables etc. Once the time and money challenge is removed from my recent move at the new home, I plan on making a series of video showing the complete build from start to finish. So far I have the new building erect detached from my house. I went for a slightly bigger building this time to allow for more sitting room for guests and viewers. My new building is 7.5mx6mx3.5m. So far just the concrete and building are finished with no electrical or insulation, air conditioning yet. hope this helps!
amazing job and great video. i would have liked to see the result of a flop shot and a drive in real time. ;) and why did you choose a screen that is neither an 16/9 nor 4/3 ? this is not a problem for the display ?
thanks for the comment, and please subscribe. You can see lots of flop and drives by watching any of the course play videos on my channel. I chose a 16:10 aspect ratio so I could have the picture go all the way down to the turf in my sim bay. Please watch Part 1 of the video series if you haven't already. I explain the aspect ratio a bit more in part 1
I see you haven’t posted i awhile hopefully your doing well. Question about the gym mat and fiberbuilt hitting area interface. Are they at the exact same height? Would you change the mat thickness if you were to do this set up again?
I haven't posted because I recently sold my home and bought a new upgrade. Unfortunately the new home doesn't have a simulator space as of yet. I hope to build a new sim soon, but time and money is getting in the way with an already busy few months with the new home. My gym mats are a few millimetres less in thickness compared to the Fiber Built mat which allows for the turf to sit flush on top of the gym mats. Yes the gym mats plus the putting turf is exactly the same height as the Fiber Built. This was very important to me to ensure a healthy roll while putting. If there is a slight difference in height that isn't visible to your eye this won't be noticeable when putting.
Great video! I was wondering if I could ask you some questions about building out my own.... let me know if there is a way of reaching you. greatly appreciated!
Fantastic work!!! I also try to do something like that, but I have a question, If I put my projector(i want to buy the same model like yours) 15 feet away from the impact screen there is any problem with the shadow? The high of my room is 10 feet thanks Antonio
@@pauldowdymd4404 ah no prob, please take a look at the below video starting at the 46:00 minute mark. ua-cam.com/video/uL9lCa4sqAs/v-deo.html&ab_channel=sklebeck
Where did you get the pipe insulation in the video. I can’t find any near that big/round to use and cover the gap for stray shots. What’s it called or anyone have a link to it online? I can only find 3/4 and 1” or slightly larger pipe foam insulation but this looks like it’s for 3” pipe or something and is what I need!
Great video. I bootstrapped an in-garage sim that I was looking to make some improvements on. I did my original design with 3/4" EMT and my screen is only 10' wide but sags in the center. Your work regarding the frame was very helpful and has convinced me to use your approach in my next update. Maybe I missed it, but what gauge tubing did you use? Thanks!
Hi Philip, I'm glad the video gave you some inspiration to improve your screen. The entire purpose of my video was to simplify the build process for others by reducing the research and expanding the knowledge for others by learning from my mistakes. The RHS tubing I used for the main support beams which makes up 90% of the steel used was (50mm x 50mm x 2mm wall thickness). The corners and "Y" pieces were a heavier gauge and smaller diameter (40mm x 40mm x 3mm) to allow sliding internally into the 50x50 RHS tubing. One of the reasons I went with a square tubing at 50mm x 50mm was to reduce any sagging over the span of 4600mm. My frame has zero sag and its a number of years old now. I hope this helps, good luck.
@@sklebeck Hi again Shaun. We finally made it to the new house (stranded in northern NSW for nearly 5 months waiting to get here). The space isn't quite what I was hoping for but I have enough room for a 12' wide x 9' high screen and about 17' screen to back wall so I should be able to fashion something half-decent. Have you moved into your new home and re-established the simulator bay?
@@sklebeck I hope it comes together for you the way you want. I'm still struggling to decide on the launch monitor. A GCQuad/Trackman/Flightscope are beyond my budget so I'm having to look at the Uneekor EYE XO (ceiling mount) vs GC3 (limited data) vs Full Swing (radar based).
Great video, I'm in the process of making something similar based on your design, they say imitation is the greatest form of flattery 😁 Just wondering roughly how long you made the bunjees, I've seen pre made ones on amazon cheap enough plus how many did you use. Thanks for your time 👍
Hi Jayo, I appreciate you watching and I hope you've seen part one of the build video. My bungee's are 2.5" long. the total number used can be counted on the drawing displayed on this video. Go to 7:23 and count the number of holes to give you an idea. (30 bungee's total) That is that exact build drawing I used. Again thanks for commenting and please subscribe.
@@sklebeck thank you sir for the reply much appreciated..subscribed 👍 hope your new home doesn't have the flooding problem, best of luck with the new build looking forward to seeing it.
@@sklebeck I've watched Part 1 & Part 2 several times and learn something new each time. I'm replicating this as well. I have a bit more space but I don't see any reason to make it any bigger than this. Question, you mentioned adding a pdf to this video but I don't see it...no worries if you don't have one already made. I'm wondering if you know the diamensions of the connectors. I understand they are 40mmX40mm & 3mm thick but wondering about the length needed. I know this doensn't really matter since it slides in, just wanted to try and do the best I could to actually duplicate this build.
I'm not sure what your question is. Assuming you watched the video, my screen is 12" off the wall (11:28) You mention yours is 20", so the answer would be yes its fine.
Great follow-up. Much appreciated.
