    My build

    So in October I decided to build my golf room (shed outside )
    I wanted to do it correctly so researched the size I needed so it measures basically 16ft by 16ft and 10 ft high due to planning in uk I had to dig down 3 feet so the outside to the eaves were no more than 2.5 meters then built a block wall on a foundation all lined with visquine then 4 inch of concrete to make a base lots of delays with builders and the shed build and fast forward to late January and it’s up just the electric to finish this week
    my screen is 3.7 meters by 3 meters high
    I put in a 4by 5 putting green with 4 holes (10 on the stimp)
    fringe grass at the rear for chipping off . Pro tee turf to hit off 2x2meters takes a tee and great to hit off .
    projector , tv , laptop and of coarse skytrak which seems to work great seems accurate and don’t get many shots that don’t register I use prov practice golf balls , I thought with practice written on skytrak would pick up reading better . Cost around £11,000 all in for everything
    I put a sump hole in in case of flooding, which brings me to my major problem the storm the other day it was flooded coming through the concrete walls as they underground I wished I’d got it tanked now the shed as no leaks seems light rain is ok but a real heavy downpour and it leaks . Maybe I. We’d to put in a automatic pump then I’d have no worries but we’ll see . Just glad all the grass is made for outdoor use

    I’m thinking of building a outdoor building for my sim. Was wondering if you had pictures of yours both inside and out. It sounds quite nice. Cheers.

      Hey cool pwade3 - join the crowd. Regarding the size, I would recommend at least 12' x 20'. I currently have 12'x16' and the interior is way too small, small enough to cause me to wait it out for a few months when spring temps get here, and have someone help me with extending one end of mine by 4' minimum. How are you going to do your build? Have you looked at some of the prefab sheds you can buy? I've seen one delivered just a few doors down from me, and they dropped it right into place in my neighbors back yard....

      Glad to hear there's someone else I can bounce ideas of of. How did you decide to make the move outdoors to an outbuilding?

        The sim I have now is downstairs in our 3 1/2 bay garage. Its in one bay that is 25 x15. Its nice as it has heated floors but at times the family complains about the driver noise as the great room is directly above the sim bay. I am thinking of going 25 x 16 inside dimensions with a mini split for heat and a/c. I also am thinking of building with 2x6 studs with sound proof insulation and drywall. Just giving it a thought is all at the moment. Might be a summer project.

      I built mine 16 x 14. I wish I built it bigger. Now I’m thinking of extending one of the walls without electricity in it out about 4 feet. It’s big enough to swing my driver without hitting any walls now but I feel a bit cramped. I wish I did it 16 x 20. Probably in the summer if I’m still getting all this free time because of COVID.

        So your saying you will be 16 wide x 20 long? Correct. Do you find that the 16ft wide is wide enough? Your hitting area centered?

      16 feet wide is wide enough. The 14 feet is too tight. At 16 feet everything is centered.
