How do you protect your walls if all sides are fixed to the walls or tight w/the angle irons? How much space do you have between the side and back walls? Also same question if you were going to use angle iron on the ceiling?
Hi Asa, In my case I simply have carpet on the walls so any shank would simply bounce off the carpet/wall into the impact screen. More expensive options include mounting acoustic foam tiles on the walls, or some other padding. In my case I don't use angle iron for my ceiling as I have a setup using tensioned steel wire. My other UA-cam videos show this design. If I did it again I would use angle iron on the ceiling too and then just have some padded material for the ceiling and a few baffles dropping/looping down to catch any high wedges .
Hi Salvatore, With this screen material the impact dent only stays from the previous shot. Once you hit another shot the previous "dent" falls out. It sounds like you may have a different issue to this and that might be specific to the material you are using. Phil
I searched for exhibition carpet and found a bunch of expensive small rugs. Is there something else I would search for to find the material you used on the sides/top?
I'm sorry to say I don't recall which one I got. It was just a tight weave cheap carpet. I've also used black artificial grass for sides and ceiling which also does just fine. Sorry it's not a very helpful response.
I prefer to leave mine hanging loose at the bottom. You have the choice of folding excess material behind at the top and having the bottom butt up to your floor (with the potential risk a low shot or putts could sneak under the screen) - or you can just allow excess on the floor to fold forwards to backwards. The former works well if you have a backing net which can fold forward and under your floor material effectively catching every shot. I've done both in various sim setups and was happy with how it all worked out. The key thing is ensuring the screen is fixed at the lowest point on both sides so that there isn't much/any wafting around of the screen when it absorbs impact.
Extremely helpful. Right to the point and very informative. Thank you!
Thanks. Glad it was helpful
Lovin' the angle iron tip, Cheers!
No worries. Just a cheap and cheerful way for getting things mounted.
A tip for the staples, use a black spray paint on them before loading them into the staple gun. 👍
thanks. Great idea!

How do you prevent or reduce the “impact” dents of driver shots on the screen? This is the biggest challenge I have. Tia.

What about the bottom of the screen
