Launch monitor: Skytrak
Sim: TGC 2019
Impact screen: Carl's premium (124"w x 120"h)
Screen roller: Sportscreen
Projector: Optoma gt1080HRD short throw
Side curtains: Black out shades from Amazon and piping from Home Depot
Computer: i7 processor, 16gb ram, nvidia GTX 1070 graphics card
Landing turf: from eBay
Hitting mat: SwingTurf (from Rain or Shine)
Overhead spot lights: from Amazon
Garage door opener: Chamberlain RJ020
I'm finally finished and can play sim rounds in my garage! The setup needed to be retractrable in case I want to park cars when it snows (i'm in Michigan), hence the Sportscreen roller and the side curtains that can pull back. I also needed to leave some extra space outside of the side curtains so my family can have their bikes and other summer stuff out. My garage height is 9'4" and I'm able to comfortably swing driver (I'm 6' tall). Overall budget was a little over $6k.
The computer is located in my office which is adjacent to the garage, so I have a 20' HDMI running from the garage to that. The projector is covered in a wire basket I got from Target with the front cut out for the projector lens to shine.
The projected image is 124"w x 93"h (4:3 aspect ratio). The side curtains are angled out intentionally so its wider in the swinging area so you don't hit the curtains on your follow thru.
The ceiling protection is acoustic foam, attached to plywood (there are 2x4's attached to keep it rigid), and mounted with clips to the ceiling. I painted the entire ceiling black and also took down my traditional center track garage door opener and replaced it with a side mount unit to free up overhead space.
Fun bonus is this makes for a great movie theater for my kids. They can open up the garage door and invite the neighbor kids to join too.
