I’m getting ready to buy heavy black theater curtains with tracks and hardware on eBay.
The standard curtain length is 10’ but the seller will make them to a custom length if need be. The track and ball hangers add 1”, so the total length is 10’1”.
My ceiling height is 9’5”. I read somewhere that for golf enclosures you should have the curtains/drapes a little longer than the ceiling height so the fabric pools/puddles some on the floor so that balls don’t shoot between the curtains and the floor. My kids will be using my sim and they hit balls every which way.
I definitely want my curtains longer than 9’5”, but the question is how much longer than my ceiling height.
With the 10’ standard length curtains plus 1” track and hangers, I would have 8 inches of fabric pooling on the floor. That’s definitely too much.
So what’s the optimal amount of curtain fabric that I should have pooling on the floor to prevent balls from flying under but not so much fabric that it’s a pain to slide the curtains.
If I get the curtains made 9’7” long plus 1” of track and hangers, I would have 3” of fabric pooling? Too much? Not enough?
Suggestions?
