I'm gonna have a 10x10 screen on the wall so hopefully I won't be hitting the wall often lol... I'll probably never hit anything but the ceiling with a lob wedge, I'm more worried about people who come over to try it out... I'm going to pad the walls or something in those areas, just haven't figured out with what yet.Originally posted by aeroburner View Post -
its not you hitting the walls at all its the echo of the shot that I am talking about blankets or something would do to absorb noise, Think of it this way take your hammer and drop it on the plywood and do this on drywall it is very different the same goes for the driver to ball shot but not that exaggerated, I think after an hour or so your head would be killing you and you might be reaching for ear plugs as 5 sides are bouncing off the sound. just food for thought.Comment

Reminds me of the Tiny Homes shows. It looks like it is gonna be sweet.Comment

Hmmm, I never thought of that, I was just worried about about someone putting a ball right through the drywall lol. I want it to look as finished as possible without a cage surrounding the screen. I'm gonna have to find a solution for wall/ceiling protectionOriginally posted by aeroburner View PostComment

Some guys glued carpet tile for damage and sounds like it works pretty well it would also help absorb sound. I know it's a bit extra work but from impact screen back 8 feet you could wrap with plywood and carpet tile or whatever you like and switch to drywall through the back half.Comment

carpet tile seems kind of flimsy, no? I had bought some thinking of doing the floor with it and it was paper thin so i returned it. I am thinking of doing maybe the interlocking tiles that gyms use for flooring that take impacts from dumbell etc... like a 4x4 area on left and right and above screen, maybe even 6x6. just don't know what thickness to use? maybe 1/2 inch or 3/4 to take the occasional direct hit from a family member...Originally posted by aeroburner View PostComment

yeah, lol I figured as much haha.. still the carpet tile is like no more than 1/4 inch thick and just stuck on the wall, I was thinking at least 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch interlocking tiles or something along that line...Comment

I'll update with some numbers when I total them up. Materials alone for building are probably approaching $3500-4000. In done buying anything for building at this point. Total cost with everything is around $8500Originally posted by Stevew View PostComment
