    Mevo+ Garage Build.

    Thanks to this forum I was able to finally begin acquiring the parts needed to build my DIY sim. Posted previously with screen/Frame mounting questions and got some great help. Was able to get started on my build while I wait for my Mevo+ to arrive. Ordered Dec. 10th direct from Flightscope with 6-7 week lead time.
    Mevo+: $ 2012.82

    Frame/screen:
    Used 1" EMT from local Home Depot along with fittings from A-1 tarps following gung-ho golf diy article. Was able to purchase a 12x10 mill screen through Dbgolf thanks to this forum.
    EMT- $101.67
    Fittings $74.14
    Screen - $300.00
    Tarp clips, bungees: Amazon $37.39

    Projector: Benq Th671st. Did a lot of research and this seems to fit my dimension and needs. Also love the zoom feature and minimal vertical offset vs using an Optoma projector. Purchased direct from Benq.
    $702.54 plus $48.66 for low profile projector mount.

    Turf and flooring: went with 12' x 19' turf from turf factory direct. The nylon 36ur. This will be laid on top of 3/4" EVA foam tiles and cut into a divot action mat from custom design golf.
    turf: $449.00 shipped
    EVA tiles from Amazon: $ 216.48
    divot action: $ 157.95

    Also added new LED recessed lights over the hitting area and added a new circuit from my subpanel for the lights and outlets. Ended up installing 2 lights over hitting area since im right and my daughter is left handed.
    $243.16

    So far I'm in for a total of $4352.78. Already looking at Gaming Pc and Tgc 2019 though. To start I plan to run off my new 4th gen ipad air and I hope it holds me over with the 5 courses plus driving range capabilities. Im currently a 5 handicap at the moment and my daughter golfs on the high school team. Hope to help up both get better.

    Worked on my sim some more today. Got my mats laid down and cut in my divot action. Didn't get time to lay down and cut my turf yet. Also received my Benq TH671ST projector today and installed it and shot it on the wall just to get an idea. Pretty happy with the brightness just shooting it in the wall. Jist waiting on my direct from mill impact screen from dbgolf and my mevo+ to ship and I'll be ready to start banging balls.

      Looks good! I am just beginning to move things around in my garage to start my build soon. This miserable drizzle in the PNW will be around a few months.

          Ready to play just waiting on the mevo+ to arrive. Hoping next week or the week after for that. Got my screen hung and laid down my turf. Pretty happy with everything and I can still get my wife and daughter's car's still in the garage.

              Nice job, how has been the experience since then? I am thinking of copying the mats , how wide exactly are the three you have joined together including the edging. To they really come out exactly 6' or is it slightly more or less? Did you do any thing to have the turf lay so nicely , velcro , glue ?
