First off i want to thank all the posters out there that take the time to help and share their cool ideas! Beacause of you great folk, I am embarking on a cg2 and TGC simulator purchase and DIY cage! I have a road map and have started purchasing the computer, cage materials impact screen etc, but I did have a few questions I hope you guys can help me with. (Once finished I plan on submitting a post with all my materials used, websites etc to be a one stop source for the next me). I apologize in advance for any reposts, I promise I have spent so much time researching this forum.
1. I want to put up black out curtains for the first 4-5 feet of the cage closest to the screen, as well as some black curtains/panels around the portion of the screen that is not used to cover bungees etc. I will have about 12 feet of width and 9 feet of height at the screen that will transition to 10 ft of height closer to the hitting area. Any recommendations of material, attachment to the 3/4 in pvc frame, places to purchase etc?
2. Hitting mats - I don't want to spend an arm and a leg, espcially since I plan on buying 2, but I do want something quality. Any good bargains with some bang for your buck?
3. Did you guys with metal or pvc cages buy the piping insulation foam incase you fired a mishit? I am considering this but not sure if it is necessary
4. I plan on placing a ceiling net but there is wood ceiling joists at 10 ft that a ball can directly hit (the net wont have enough space to fully stop it). Do you think I should padd these ceiling joists? If so any recommenations on material?
5. Netting? How do you guys fixate to the cage and do you fixate the bottom portion? Do you leave slack to "absorb" impact of zip tie it tight?
6. Ancillary cords - I will be using a laptop and CG2 (my garage isn't secure) and a benq st. What cords will I need to connect those?
THANK YOU GUYS AGAIN!!!
