  • First Sim Build - Can I hang screen from ceiling?

    I am taking the plunge and could use some guidance. My room is 13' wide x 20' long . My ceiling at its highest is 9' 5" high. My plan was to just hang an impact screen that I was going to buy from Par2pro right from the studs and let it hand down from to the floor. I figured I would hit from around 10' from the screen. My questions are this:
    1) Will hanging the impact screen right from the ceiling to the floor be ok? Do the sides need to be secured as well?
    2) To save money on any kind of prefabricated enclosure, I was not planning on putting any ceiling net. From 9-10' will that be ok... or am I going to ruin ceiling on my first Pitching or Sand wedge.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You will want to secure the sides.

    Here are 2 pics attached. One is my 12 x 8 foot screen with only the top attached. The 2nd one is with the sides attached as well. It gets the screen so much flatter.

      I think the best way to hang a screen from the ceiling to the floor is with slotted angle iron. An unfinished screen(edges) can then be attached with tarp clips and bungees or zip ties. You also need to secure the sides.

      I hit from 9-10' away and I don't hit the ceiling. I can with a flop shot from a LW, but any full swing wedge doesn't come close to the ceiling.
