Shop Simulator Building - Enclosure Depth

[mtheurer]

I'm planning on putting a simulator into my shed. I have lot of space (40 x70' with 14' ceilings). Considering putting in a screen ~15.5 feet wide from Carl's Place. I have LED lighting in the shop which is bright, but sections of the shop are controlled by separate switches. Considering putting in a deeper enclosure (15 foot) to help control shanks and block off light for better visualization. My questions to the group are:
1) Will the extra depth actually help improve screen image/quality with the shop lighting?
2) Any concerns with swinging a driver in that amount of space set up for right and left handed people? Would be 10 foot high.
3) Would you recommend putting in that deep of an enclosure? If not, it may change which LM I'm considering installing which is fine (leaning towards Eye XO but could switch to GC3/Quad instead).

Thoughts or other suggestions/recommendations? TIA

I did a golf sim build for someone in a similar shop with 16ft ceiling and a lot of LED bay lights and windows along the hi side of the walls so I had the same concerns with the amount of light washing out the projector image.

Rather than using a typical golf sim enclosure, we built a ceiling and side wall at a corner of the barn. The ceiling height was 10ft and width with the additional wall was 17ft. The ceiling extended out about 15ft. This allowed us to have controlled lighting for the sim, mount the Eyexo, Multisport sim, soundbar, and projector all on that ceiling. It made things a lot easier for running cables and mounting things since we didn't have to touch the 16ft ceiling. There's still a lot of ambient light in the shop during the day so the projector image isn't as sharp as at night, but it still looks very good considering all the light.

1) depends how you want to manage light. If you have reasons to keep other parts of building lit, then yes, more enclosure will help improve screen image.
2) 15.5 ft wide and 10' should be fine for 99% of golfers
3) If you are even mentioning right AND left handed golfers, you should do a ceiling mount LM. You don't want to mess with moving a portable unit back and forth.
