First of all, I want to thank those on this forum for the great information. After hours and hours of research, I have decided to go with the Fiberbilt hitting strip based on information within this forum. I would have liked to have gone with the Fiberbilt 5'x4' Single Hitting Mat, but my set up needs to be portable. I have a single car garage that I occasionally use to lift/store my Jeep top if the weather permits. I have read that the 5'x4' is difficult to move due to the weight, base, etc. As a result, I plan to use the DIY route to allow for portability. The plan is to use the 1'x3' hitting strip and use 5'x5' All Turf Mat (ATM) Premium Residential as the stance mat. I will be cutting the ATM in various places to create a DIY 6'x4' Fiberbilt Studio Golf Mat that will serve as a stance mat, hitting area, as well as a space for the SkyTrak to sit. I will be building this on top of a base made of 3/4" plywood and 1"x2". Using the 1"x2", I could install a handle and caster wheels so I could cart it out of the way. Below is a list of supplies and costs I think I need. Is there anything I am missing or need to account for? Wanted to get some advice from the group before I start purchasing materials. Let me know your thoughts.
1'x3' Fiberbilt Hitting Strip = $259
5'x5' All Turf Mat Residential Premium = $129 ( I have $75 in gift cards so really only $54 for me)
3/4" 4'x8' Plywood = $22
1"x2"x8' boards = $20
Handles/Casters = $20
Total = $375 (May need to buy some foam to match the turf and hitting mat heights. I will cross that road when I get there.)
Below is a mockup of what I was thinking:
