Basically I had a 3 car garage that was in a poor state and needed modernising, I sold my trackcar and my M4 doesn’t need to be put away so I thought I would make better use of the space with a golf simulator and gym.
Planning permission granted to raise roof height so my usable space is 8.4m (l) x 5m (w) x 2.7 (h).
One big fixed window (2.1 x 1.4) and a double sliding door (3.6 x 2.1) in black powder coated aluminum.
Inside walls and ceiling will be clad in birch ply, outside on Western Red Cedar with a translucent black stain. Green roof.
Space will be separated in two halves of 4m x 5m for the golf Sim and 4.2m x 5 for the gym.
Golf Sim
Golf Sim machine is a GCQuad from Foresight with full club data and putting data.
Software is FSX2020 from Foresight and is running on a Dell Alienware Gaming PC.
I’m going to use the Elite Simulator enclosure from Golf Tech Systems

Need to source a minimum of 5k lumen projector, probably a Panasonic.
Flooring will be artificial putting turf with a golf mat on top or cut into it. This area is my biggest dilemma as I want it to look good and also be kind to my elbows. I have hit on pretty much all the options and still can’t decide.
Gym
I’ll be using Watson equipment, a Power Rack (no Smith) with 2 cable machines, thick grip bars, safety squat bar, Olympic plates, Poliquin Dumbbell handles and eco plates and a bench.
Waterrower for cardio and TRX for body weight.
Might get a Wattbike Atom but worried I mighthave to buy some Lycra and shave my legs.
I’ll update as we go along.
