16x9 Sportscreen Garage Sim Build

so essentially you put together your own 'par2pro stealth screen' (sportscreen with an impact screen) but subsequently at a lower cost?

Yes, that's all this is & they use. This is a manual version like an awning. They have the motorized version which is just a tubular motor that goes inside the one side and can go up n down with a button. I've seen people convert, using a tubular motor.

Around $20 or so. Believe I bought the 10 x 15 one also. They have smaller but I'm 16 ft wide. Can get a 10x8 or something if you're not as wide and itll be cheaper. Also can use a 20% off coupon that can be found online for them for instore purchases.

Do you remember what you paid for the harbor freight mesh tarp for the ceiling? I need something similar up there.

[Kgray247]

Well I put my quarantine time to good use and insulated my garage ceiling & garage door. also cut in the 1x3 fiberbuilt strip and anchored it into the floor to stop it from sliding around on me. I bought a green bosch laser level to line up center line and get proper alignment.

Some people have asked about what is done for wedge shots and protecting the roller bar. I bought a 10 ft by 16 ft mesh tarp from Harbor Freight. I made baffles, looping down and just screwed it into my rafters. Makes the high shots drop right down and loop one just below the roller bar and itll help protect it.

Alright several questions. First of all. Nice work!!! This is exactly the same as what I am trying to build
1. what size impact screen did you buy and is it finished or raw?? the SS rep told me it needs to be 187x132” which is a weird size but only 111 is visible.
2. Did you mount from wall or ceiling? I can’t tell from pic and is the sag in the middle from the 16ft screen an issue
3. is it hard to crank up and down??

you have essentially done what they said I couldn’t.

Haha thanks man.

1. 16x9 Carl's preferred screen with finished edges/grommets. I have a 10x10 supertex screen behind the center section to help with extra backing. Also helps the bleed through as you can see aboutn3 ft on each sides the image is not as pure.

2. Its mounted on my ceiling. The other screen behind it sure doesnt help the sagging. It does a tad. It nothing that effects me or anything.

3. Not hard to crank up and down at all. Under 1 minute. It's just like a retractable awning.

after seeing this i want to change my entire plan, i was going to go width wise in my garage putting me at a 9x9 set up 10 ft tee to screen but that looks better. how did you deal with the center rail on your garage door? i guess if its over the ball its a non issue. Now i need a big ole shed for the back yard to put stuff in lol. looks good and thanks for posting photos these help with ideas but also makes me think i do not make enough money to play in this home hobby.

Thanks. I moved my garage door motor and center post over a couple feet so it's over my head as I swing now. You can also get a jackshaft side mount garage door motor for around 3 to 400 bucks. Bigger screen is better, yes. I had a 10x9 to start out with. Go as big as you can or you'll be wanting more.

I have the black mesh behind it. I have 2 impact screens hanging really, so I havent had any issues

[Golfing in Snow]

Did you take the sportscreen black mesh off or leave it and add Carl’s screen on top? I’ve heard some people say the golf balls can wreck the black mesh screen even with a golf screen in front.

[Kgray247]

Just keep an eye on their clearance/ remnants for the 16x9 impact screen. I usually am around 11 ft away from the screen

[Golfing in Snow]

Wish I found that deal! How far away is your tee to screen?
