I thought I would share my garage build.
I love seeing pictures of others builds, so I thought I would throw mine up to add to the repository of what has been done.
I have a SkyTrak, and use TGC2019. I have a CountryClub Elite mat. So far I have been very happy with both of those.
My setup has evolved from nets to a basic impact screen set, shown below.
First iteration of impact screen, I used an old 720p led projector
Here you can see the frame of the screen, I put it on a slight hinge mechanism so I could rotate it out of the way when I need cars in the garage.
I recently upgraded to a Benq th671st, since we may want to use this for outdoor movies occasionally, I wanted a way to be able to quickly move it. I came up with an approach that so far has worked pretty good. I built a box, and put some quick release drawer slides on it. I can quickly if needed pull the projector out and release the slides. I can then take it outside for movie night and easily put it back in the garage for the sim.
The last thing I added was a DIY sim control box. I 3d printed a case and added the controller and buttons. Design is here if anyone wanted to try their own, it's a simple box but so far seems like it will do the job.
I want to wrap it fully in vinyl, but everything is working and I used it for the first time tonight.
