Alright, this thread is going to be a journey because I've never done this before.... I recently joined the forum but have been reading a lot of the threads here so thank you for everyone.
I have roughly 5 months before we close on the house and I can start the build.
The house will be in VA and have 9' ceilings but I am planning to put the simulator in the 2 car garage because it will have a 10.5' ceiling.
The garage will be insulated but no HVAC so the simulator should be usable pretty much year round (it's a moderate climate).
[The garage also has to park our vehicle when it's not being used as a simulator so it won't be a dedicated sim space....]
I am having the builder install recessed lighting in the garage... 1 recessed light will be on a dedicated switch directly over the hitting mat 9' from the planned screen install. I have 2 outlets being installed on the left and right walls as well and one outlet on the wall behind the planned screen]
Shortly after moving in, the plan is to do the following in preparation for the Golf Sim Install:
-Switch to a wall mounted garage Door opener (Chamberlain RJ070)
-Paint the ceiling and house wall Flat Black
-Paint the left and right walls Gloss White
-Install a Polyurea 3 Coating Full broadcast Floor Kit (gray with a 1/8" flake)
-Sim: SkyTrack, undecided between e6 or TGC19. Thoughts?
-Hitting Mat: Trying to decide between a SIGPRO 4' x10' or Fiberbuilt 9' x 4'. Thoughts? (I will need to move it and lean it up against the wall when not using the garage as a simulator)
-Screen: Undecided but would like the most immersive experience so leaning towards 16' x 9' size (I will need to roll it up with a kayak rope lift setup
-Side curtains gonna do these with the track system: http://www.peaksonline.net/black_ind..._curtains.html
-Projector: Undecided but taking suggestions
-Computer or I-pad: Undecided
I'm pretty handy so will figure out all the ceiling protection tiles and flooring around the mat and screen/curtains edges as finish out....
Thanks for reading and providing any feedback you may have which could help me incorporate your lessons learned.
