Side Protection

[poisonOak]

I'm building a hitting enclosure for my sim and need to decide on the best side protection. I was originally going to use heavy soundproof blankets on each side:

Would these work or should I go with some heavy duty curtains?

Thanks

Wow these look awesome if your cage height is only 8 feet; you may need to get creative for the top...I bought some commando cloth but can't figure out how i am going to hang without grommets.

You can get grommet kits at hardware stores, fairly cheap ($5-10) and easy to use. Some grommets, a hole punch and an expander/cruncher to seal the two pieces together. I've had great luck with them. Easy peasey!
P.s. Make sure you read the instructions, if you put the wrong side of the grommet half on the little anvil/expander piece you play hell getting it off there. If you do it right it's a piece of cake and holds great.

Ah thanks, need to get these sides up!

I think someone was using this as side protection. Since its not taking a direct shot it should work:

I use a 9 x 20 net hung on a curtain track in a "C" shape myself.

I bought black heavy curtains off amazon , nothing fancy. I have shanked a few and it seemed to have done the job , no holes in the drywall. A shank doesn’t have as much juice as a full shot.

Which curtains did you go with?

Works great for ceiling protection as well.

How would those compare to these: https://www.amazon.com/Moving-Blanke...-2-spons&psc=1

They don't, one is mesh so it's somewhat see through the other is a moving blanket and is probably much heavier. However, the mesh tarp stops balls and i believe is cheaper. Depends on what look you prefer and at what price you want to pay.
