    Fold Away Sim

    I am moving into a place with essentially three living rooms, and one of them would work well as a sim room. The trick is, I'd like to be able to use the room for other things, and I am renting, so I can't start putting holes in the walls and ceilings or mounting something like that Murphy Golf Sim.

    I have seen people doing folding side barriers, but I wondered why people generally don't do ones that roll away. For example, something like two of these with a ceiling net between them. When you are done, roll the curtains in front of the sim screen. Ideally a folding floor would be great but it looks like that stuff is mostly mounted/motorized and I can't get into that where I'll live.

    Has anyone seen anything like this? I need to get cage-type protection as I have kids play as well and they may shank or sky balls, and like I said, it's a rental house.​

    With all those limitations, I’d just go with an outdoor setup. If you have little kids using it inside, very high chance there will be damage to a wall/ceiling eventually with a non-permanent setup. The balls can bounce with force and still hit something behind you as well.

    Edit: unless you’re using foam balls. Then put up a bedsheet and swing away.
