We added on to the house with a new home theater room open to the new family room. The size and setup was designed from the start with a golf simulator in mind. The room is 14 feet wide and 16 feet deep. Projector is 18 feet from the screen. Here are pictures of the different aspects of how it was put together. I have not pulled the trigger on a sensor yet...I keep changing my mind about which one, but either a GC2 or ES16 if this new system pans out. Hitting spot is exactly 10 feet from the screen.

Looks solid. What is the stuff on the walls? Some sort of foam board?Comment
-
Foam on walls and ceiling is expanded polyethylene. Didn't require any finish like cloth and uses the round tabs that new constructions foam board insulation uses to attach to walls. Glue doesn't work on this stuff.Comment

That's awesome... I've been looking at different options for side walls (curtains, carpet on plywood, etc.)... I like the look of what you have on there. How does it hold up to high impact balls hitting it? Any indention left behind?Comment

The foam sheets (they came in 4'X9' size) certainly provide enough protection for errant balls. It's very light. Non-reflective. Relatively inexpensive. Draw-backs could include: limited options to adhere them to the wall. Glue does not hold this stuff with any effectiveness. (I used the round plastic buttons that are a construction material for rigid foam insulation.) And, the balls bounce off with a rebound, not a dead fall after hitting the wall. It has posed no problem so far for me, but maybe could be a detriment with tighter dimensions.
I also had the foam company construct the screen border from the same material in a triangular wedge shape that gave the whole room a very finished look. The beveled border was attached to the screen frame that mounted to the wall. I have more pictures but not sure how to post them. Total cost was about $500 for all foam and mounting materials. -
PL 300 is specially designed for gluing all types of foam. Most glue eats right through foam. Always do a small test of any glue to make sure that it will work without eating through your material. Great job on the room.

where did you get the foam from?Comment

A place in Oklahoma City called Allied Foam. They also fabricated the wedge border around the screen.Comment
