SUMMARY:First Time Garage Build- Insight Needed
DESCRIPTION:Hey guys\,\n \nBeen lurking the forum for a while and have read
  through the entire build forum over the last few days and have decided to
  put together a budget for a garage build.\n\nI just had a baby and I can 
 already tell getting out to the range or the course on a consistent basis 
 is going to prove difficult…\n\nI've decided on a 9 X 9 space sandwiched
  between the wall to the left and my garage door railings to the right to 
 hang an impact screen in my garage\, and then I can position the hitting m
 at to wherever I'd like since the width of my garage is about 20'\n \nI’
 m curious if my budget below looks somewhat accurate\, and also have a few
  questions:\n\n-I was originally going to build out an EMT or wood frame t
 o hold up the impact screen and netting\, but now I'm thinking I can utili
 ze the rafters above instead. Has anyone had success in doing this? I'm wo
 ndering if it would cause any issues to the screens performance or if it s
 hould be ok.\n\n\n\n\n\n-On the simulation software\, I'm debating between
  E6 vs TGC...I have an iphone or my laptop that I can utilize for this so 
 I'm interested in hearing pros/cons of the 2.\n \n-I'm going to go with Ca
 rl’s Preferred impact screen but am confused about the aspect ratio. Sin
 ce it's a 9x9 it looks like 1:1 is my only option?\n \nAny insight would b
 e greatly appreciated.\n\nThanks guys!!\n \n \n  \n SkyTrak Golf Simulator
