Jerry,

Can you clarify how your impact screen, side curtains and ceiling protection is attached to the 3 different wires?

Is the impact screen attached to the 8 foot wire (at 15") or the 9 foot wire (at 15")? Are the two tarp clips you see in the video at the top of the screen only holding the ceiling protection to the 8 foot wire wrapping around the 9 foot wire at 40" and clipped to the 9 foot wire at 15"

Are the same tarp clips holding both the impact screen and the ceiling protection?

I can't get my head around how everything is attached

Thanks,

Phil

carpie99 so I have 3 wires but that's really only because I didn't know how many screens or exactly how i wanted to to the setup at first. I really only need 2 for my setup.

If I were to redo I would probably just have...

1st wire set at 8' off the ground, I would hang my main screen on this and my backup screen on this (for reduced bounce back and better sound control). Then hung on that same wire I have a smaller black photo backdrop on each side of the screen to function as side curtains.

2nd wire set at 9' off the ground and closer to hitting area, this is where I would hang my 20' long black photo back drop which primarily functions as my ceiling protection.

I'll shoot a video or maybe some photos to better clarify how I did the tensioned steel wire/ screen and curtains since I've had some questions about it.

carpie99 this is how I’ve understood it (side curtains are independently mounted in their own curtain tracks in my design) https://golfsimulatorforum.com/forum...-emt-enclosure

jerry3 It would be good to see how different your set up is to this.

[jerry3]

14MPH not sure if whatI just told carpie99 would answer your question, but if not I plan on posting a video to better show the tensioned steel wire, screen, and curtain setup

Beautiful setup. Did you take the motor off the garage door?

[jerry3]

PUNTE yes I don't have any garage door opener, I'll probably remove the garage door in the future because I have no intention of parking a car in this garage because I built a detached garage for parking.

The attachment to wire C is really my biggest question ... the tarp clips and bungee method would be a lot less clean than what jerry3 has done with draping it over. I just can't understand how the ceiling protection tension is maintained.

Depending on projector choice and the angle of image being projected, will determine distance of position C from screen. I plan to use Newer photography cloth and any excess can be used as baffles so hopefully cover up the tarp clips or just let some of the excess fabric fall over from the top of wire C and cover up the tarp clips. It will be a bit of an experiment that’s hopefully not too costly so can change it up if need to.

[Brettster]

Yes, jerry3 method is a lot cleaner, however, also has a lot less tension in it, than using tarp clips / bungees.

[carpie99]

jerry3 is your 20' long black photo back drop attached to the the 8 foot wire or just draped over it?

[jerry3]

carpie99 the 20' long backdrop is hung on 9' wire and draped over the 8' wire. The backdrop isn't bottom tensioned because the weight of it is enough to provide tension on its own. I'll upload a video

[carpie99]

jerry3 is this how your screen is attached to the wire? Wondering what draping something over the top is going to do to the tarp clips.

jerry3 I am going to attach the clips to the wire with zipties ... I think that will allow me to drape the sides and ceiling protection.

Jerry, beautiful setup.

I had one question, maybe it's a stupid one, how did you adhere the turf to the MMA mats?

I have finished laying down all the mats and I am ready to lay down the turf now.

Really appreciate your advice!
Thanks,
Scott
