    Bullseye Enclosure and Impact Screen

    We are renovating the basement and sim area so I thought it was time to upgrade my enclosure and screen. I have had several enclosure and screens over the years. I decided to go with the Bullseye DIY Enclosure and screen and so far I must say I am very impressed.

    They have studio packages but I went with the DIY custom enclosure. The whole unit comes in 2 boxes and includes the corners for the EMT pipes. I went with the 8 X 12 setup. Also included is the top and side material (which is very sturdy), impact screen, foam padding, bungees and black boarders. The setup time with 2 people was roughly 1-2 hours and very easy. To be honest the longest time needed was getting the pipes and cutting them to my specs. I just picked them up at Home Depot. This package is very user friendly. They also have an excellent video of the setup on their site making it extremely easy for those that are a bit nervous on DIY.

    The screen is high quality. It has all the properties that I look for in an impact screen including quality image appearance, minimal bounce back and quiet on impact. We will see about longevity and durability, but judging by the feel of this screen it should last a very long time. The screen comes with grommets all around that allow for easy attachment to the frame with the bungees supplied. You may have to remove some bungees to get the best feel on impact bounce back. Adding netting or black material behind the screen is optional but not yet needed in my setup. The unit will also be used for home theatre as well as gaming with the kids.

    The side and top protection fits like a glove. It is connected to the frame by high grade velcro. They also provide foam netting for the metal posts to help prevent any major bounce back. Finally the boarders surround the grommets of the screen attached by velcro.

    So far the unit is working great and I am quite impressed. The image is exceptional, it's quiet and has very little bounce back. The cost of the unit is well worth it given what you get and how clean it looks. The ordering process and customer support has been exceptional so far. I will update you in a few months.

    I agree. I have had mine for about 8 months now. I couldn’t be happier with the quality of material and how professional the enclosure looks.

      Super happy with the quality of mine. Out of curiosity, did anyone put anything behind their impact screen? After spending months browsing this forum I preemptively added a couple of moving blankets in duvet covers behind mine but noticed Bullseye recommends not having anything.

      Did they say what the downside is of having a backing blanket?

        I’ve never put anything behind any of my screens. Not sure why anyone would need to

      4 months and the screen is still fantastic. Quality screen that has no signs of wear. Will keep you posted but I am very happy for sure.

            How are the Bullseye golf enclosures holding up? Was just about to pull the trigger on one from another maker, but stumbled upon Bullseye. The price for an 8X14 and fabric quality make it compelling. Any regrets?

                Another question, and I may be overthinking this.

                I need/want a 16x9 enclosure. It doesn’t appear that the viewable portion of the16x9 Bullseye enclosure is actually 16x9. You’d end up with unused screen real estate at the top or an image that overlaps too far on the sides. Is my thinking correct?

                  How are the bottom poles protected? Do you know a sandbag to hold the bottom protective cover down? And any issues with the corners and shanks going through the sides?

                    No the screen has a pocket with a long bungee cord running through it. It goes under the side of the frame and attaches to the bottom side post fitting. The bottom bar is 12” behind the screen. Very little bounce back top and sides have flaps that Velcro to the screen and side of enclosure. It comes fully padded with foam for the flaps.

                      I’m over a year with the screen/enclosure and it’s holding up fantastic. Very impressed.

                        Folks - curious about thoughts on Bullseye sims a coupe of years on. Are they holding up well? Anyone have the grey screen - looks like a newer option though not certain when they added it.
