The Permanent Golf Room
A Golf Room Built Into the House
Some walls hold a TV. This one holds your home course. The Carl's Place Built-In Golf Room Kit hangs the impact screen on wall anchors 1 ft in front of the back wall, sewn to your exact wall dimensions, so it spans the wall corner to corner, with adjustable masking that tunes the viewable area toward your projector's 16:9 or 16:10 picture and turf that can run right up to the fabric.
Because each screen is made to order, we confirm your exact size and layout with you before anything is sewn, and a real person answers if you get stuck. Authorized Carl's Place dealer · Affirm financing available.
Carl's Place sews every Built-In screen to order and ships by FedEx or UPS. Lead times vary through the season: our own Built-In orders have left Carl's between three and fifteen business days after the order. Padded panels ship by freight, calculated at checkout.
Want the complete simulator in one order? The Built-In Screen Golf Simulator pairs this kit with a hitting mat, a projector and mount, and the launch monitor of your choice.

Why Build It In
What Sets a Built-In Room Apart
Looks Like the House Came This Way
No frame, no pipe. The screen hangs 1 ft in front of the back wall and spans it corner to corner, so the room reads as finished carpentry, not equipment you assembled.
Made for One Wall: Yours
Every screen is sewn to your exact wall dimensions. We confirm your size and layout with you before your kit is built, so it fits the first time.
Masking That Squares the Picture
Adjustable masking tunes the viewable area toward your projector's 16:9 or 16:10 image, so the picture lands closer to where it should instead of spilling onto drywall.
Turf Runs Into the Screen
With no bottom border, your turf can run all the way to the fabric. Ball on the mat, fairway on the wall, and no strip of hardware between them.
The Room Keeps Its Second Job
Nothing stands on the floor, so the bay never swallows the room. Curtains pull back and the same space seats the family for a movie by 8 pm.
Cut and Sewn in Milton, Wisconsin
Carl's Place sews every screen in Milton, Wisconsin, built for full-impact play and made to stand up to regular indoor golf use.
Room Planning
How Much Space You Need
Get the tape measure out before you pick a size. You want at least 10 feet between you and the screen, with roughly 7 feet of swing room in every direction. The grid below has the rest of the numbers.
Minimum room width From 10 ft off center, about 14 ft for a centered tee
Ceiling height At least 9 ft to swing freely
Distance from screen At least 10 ft, with about 7 ft of swing room around you
Behind the screen At least 12 in of buffer space
In front of the screen About 6 in for the flaps and starter panels
Depth per panel row Add about 36 in of depth for each row of padded panels
Wall construction Walls should be straight, even, and 2x4-framed so the anchors hold. Not sure your room fits? See our golf simulator room size guide.
Who It's For
Is a Built-In Room Right for You?
You Already Call It the Golf Room
The spare room has had a name in your head for a year. This kit makes the wall agree: a permanent bay that looks designed in, with nothing parked in the middle of the carpet.
Your Laser Level Gets Weekend Work
Lag screws into wall plates, a line to keep true, a screen to tension until it sits flat. That is a Saturday you would enjoy, and the finished wall is one you built yourself.
You Want It to Look Original to the House
Temporary equipment in a finished home bugs you. A screen built into the wall, with turf running right up to it, reads like the house was designed around golf.
The Family Has a Claim on This Room
Movie night is not moving out. With the floor open and curtains that pull back, the room plays golf after dinner and is the den again by morning.
Not comfortable with construction work? A free-standing kit assembles without this level of build. Compare the two approaches in our built-in vs freestanding guide.
Full-Impact Play
Every Carl's Place impact screen is built for full-impact play and designed to withstand the rigors of regular indoor golf use, so the screen anchoring your room is built to last.
What's Included
Everything That Ships in the Kit
The built-in screen installs with no pipe or frame. Everything needed to hang and tension the screen on your wall comes in the kit.
- Custom-sized impact screen with top masking, pre-fed bottom cable, and loose top cable
- 2 cable locks with release pins
- 4 corner cable anchors with 1/4 in lag screws and 4 pulley wheels with safety wire lynch pins
- Starter panels made entirely of loop fabric
- 10 snaphooks with screws and drywall anchors
- 10 zip ties for the corners and 50 hook-and-loop straps
- 3 detached flaps to cover the exposed cable

- Detailed setup and measuring instructions
Choose from 4 screen materials (Standard, Preferred, Premium, and High-Contrast Gray) across 45 size combinations. Every screen is built to the exact size you order, so pick the listed size that matches your room exactly. Deciding on a material? Our impact screen materials guide breaks down each one. Need a size between the options, or a wall wider than 18 ft? Build your kit to the inch with our custom room builder.
Before you order: because each screen is built to your exact wall dimensions, Built-In kit sales are final. We confirm your size, masking, and layout with you before anything is produced.
Finish Your Room
All the Ways to Finish a Built-In Room
Start with the built-in screen, then choose how to protect and finish your walls and ceiling. Pick each side wall, the ceiling and the tiles in the room builder at the top of this page.
Built-In Screen Only
The screen and its hardware install with no pipe or frame, and you finish the walls and ceiling your own way.
Wall & Acoustic Tiles
Adhesive-backed tiles trim to fit and cut around outlets and lights. Wall tiles soften impact; acoustic tiles add light and sound control.
Retractable Curtains
Heavy-duty curtains block ambient light with reinforced grommets and a weighted bottom. Pull them across to play and back for access.
Padded Panels*
The most protective option: a foam core in smooth black fabric, custom-sized to your room and hung with French cleats and Z-clips.
* Padded panels ship by freight. Freight is calculated at checkout.

How the Built-In Kit Compares

How Installation Works
Building the Room, Step by Step
1. Plan & Measure
Start with the included setup instructions to plan the layout and measure your wall so every component fits your room.
2. Install the Hardware
Mount the corner cable anchors to the top and bottom plates of your walls, install the starter panels in a straight, even line, then add the ceiling snaphooks, using a laser level to keep everything aligned.
3. Hang & Tension the Screen
Zip tie the corners of the screen, secure the remaining grommets to the cables with hook-and-loop straps, then pull the cables taut through the cable locks for a flat, even hitting surface.
4. Secure the Flaps, Then Finish
Attach the 3 detached flaps to the starter panels to cover the exposed cable, then protect the walls and ceiling with curtains, wall or acoustic tiles, or padded panels.
Confirmed Before It Ships
We confirm your exact screen size, masking, and panel layout with you before your kit is produced, so it fits the first time.
Know the Skill Level
This kit suits handy people comfortable with construction: lag screws into wall plates, demoing trim, and patient screen tensioning. If that is not you, a free-standing kit is the easier route.
Pick Your Wall. We Confirm Every Inch.
Choose your size and screen material, and before anything is sewn we go over your exact wall dimensions, masking, and layout with you. Made in Milton, Wisconsin, and nothing goes to production until the numbers are confirmed with you.

FAQ
Built-In Golf Room Kit Questions
What is a built-in golf simulator room?
A built-in golf simulator room anchors the impact screen to your walls, 1 ft in front of the back wall, instead of hanging it from a free-standing frame, so the screen becomes a permanent part of the room. The Carl's Place Built-In Golf Room Kit supplies a custom-sized screen and all the hardware to mount and tension it, and you finish the walls and ceiling for an integrated, studio look.
What comes in the Built-In Golf Room Kit?
The kit includes a custom-sized impact screen with top masking, a pre-fed bottom cable, and a loose top cable, plus 2 cable locks with release pins, 4 corner cable anchors with 1/4 in lag screws, and 4 pulley wheels with safety wire lynch pins. It also comes with starter panels made entirely of loop fabric, 10 snaphooks, 10 zip ties for the corners, 50 hook-and-loop straps, 3 detached flaps, a fastener set, and detailed setup instructions. It installs with no pipe or frame, and you supply the wall and finishing materials.
How much room do I need for a built-in golf simulator?
Plan for a room at least 10 feet wide for a single golfer teeing off to one side, or about 14 feet wide if you want the tee centered so righties and lefties both play from the middle. You also want a ceiling of at least 9 feet, and to stand at least 10 feet from the screen with roughly 7 feet of swing room around you. Keep at least 12 inches of buffer behind the screen and about 6 inches in front for the flaps and starter panels. Add about 36 inches of depth for each row of padded panels.
Do I need a frame for a built-in enclosure?
No. The built-in screen hangs 1 ft in front of your back wall on cables and wall anchors, so there is no pipe or frame. That is what keeps the floor open and gives the room its integrated, built-in look. If you would rather not mount to the wall, a free-standing Carl's Place kit stands on its own EMT frame instead.
Can I install the built-in screen myself?
The kit is designed for people comfortable with home-renovation and construction work. A proper install calls for using a laser level to align components, anchoring lag screws into the top and bottom plates of your walls, demoing any trim that interferes, and patiently tensioning the screen for a flat surface. If that kind of work is not a fit, a free-standing enclosure kit assembles without this level of construction.
What screen material should I choose?
The Built-In kit offers all four Carl's Place materials: Standard for budget builds, Preferred for a tighter weave and sharper image, Premium for the best image with reduced noise, and High-Contrast Gray for deeper contrast in rooms with ambient light. Gray builds contrast by absorbing light, so the projector has to make that back up. We recommend at least 4,000 lumens in a room with any meaningful light, and 5,000 or more if the room is genuinely bright. A white screen is the better pick in a room you can darken. All four are built for full-impact play. Our impact screen materials guide breaks down the differences in detail.
Can the room still be used for other things?
Yes. Because the screen mounts to the wall and nothing stands on the floor, the room stays open. Finished with retractable curtains that pull back, or padded panels that sit flat on the wall, the same space can serve as a home theater, family room, or general entertaining area when you are not playing.
How is the screen sized and made?
Each screen is sewn in Milton, Wisconsin and custom-made to your exact wall dimensions across 45 size combinations. Before your kit is produced, we confirm your exact screen size, masking, and panel layout with you, so the components fit your room the first time.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We offer Affirm financing at checkout, so you can split the cost of your built-in kit into monthly payments. Choose Affirm at checkout to see the terms you qualify for.
What is your warranty and return policy?
Carl's Place screens and enclosure materials are wearable goods, so they do not carry a warranty. Some marking and wear from the first sessions is normal, and how long a screen lasts depends on skill level, how often you play and how it is installed. If something looks unusual rather than like normal wear, send us photos and your order number and we will take it up with Carl's Place. All impact screen sales are final with no returns. Because fit and material choice matter, measure your space and pick your screen carefully before ordering, or call us at 1-888-871-6110 and we will help you choose.

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 58 reviews.
Excellent enclosure works great. I found you do not need to use all the bungees to secure screen, I was experiencing bounce back so I removed a few bungees.
Looks and feels high quality materials. Nice looking too.
Top notch product swing bay and mat are top quality !!!
The hitting bay is great. Its big! Just barely fit in our bonus room. The fiberbuilt mats are also great. I am disappointed in the sky trac though. It regularly misses shots and have to restart it frequently.
SkyTrak PerfectBay™ Golf Simulator Package
Store owner replied: Hi Rob -- Sorry to hear about your troubles with SkyTrak readings. Please contact SkyTrak tech support at 1-833-SkyTrak to troubleshoot and resolve these issues.
Thank you Top Shelf Golf. I have always wanted a indoor simulator, so I am thrilled to have it set up. Everything went smoothly, questions were always answered promptly. The package arrived in less than two weeks from the order day. It took a couple of hours to set everything up. We love it.
I’ve got this golf simulator enclosure for a few weeks now. I’m loving it. Delivery was ahead of schedule. The assembly instructions was emailed to me before the product arrived. With the instructions the assembly is straightforward. I set it up in my Loft. I can now practice golf swing at the comfort of my home. Great product! Thanks Top Shelf Golf!
Everything works well other than the skytrak unit itself. It is consistently unreliable. It goes into almost a sleep mode and won’t read at all. Small chip shots won’t read 15-20 times in a row regardless of ball location. Then you will drag your shoelace across the laser and it’ll read a 90 yard hit. The additional software needed to play courses is fairly pricey but definitely makes for a cooler experience. Personally, I would go with a different sim all together. The laser dot on the floor makes for a pain if you are playing a round. You have to move the machine from tee shots to fairway shots so the tee isn’t in the way (I ended up buying rubber cone tees to prevent from doing this).
Nice screen. Ball bounces back further than I thought it would.
Great product. Shipping time was extremely fast. Couldn't be happier with the purchase.
The screen was easy to set up and with clear instructions that I received from Topshelfgolf before it arrived made it easier. I did make some adjustments for the 406 projector using the side shift because of the amount of room that I had to play with. Very happy with the results and with the help from the support team. Love it
The product is nicely designed. Firstly that makes the assembly easy and straight forward, secondly the final setup serves the purpose well. There is a gas pipe sticking out of the wall at exactly 8 feet from ground. I was hoping the golf frame had some play so that It would fit in easily. However the frame is EXACTLY 8 feet tall. I had to get a tube cutter to trim two tubes 1/4 inch shorter to slide that corner under that pipe. The screen is strong, thick and impact absorbing. It makes the hitting very quiet.
Great product, well made. Was also easy to assemble, only needed a second set of hands to put the top enclosure in place. Well written instructions.
Extremely easy to set up and the customer support has been great, even over the busy Christmas season.
It is simple to install, convenient to use, appropriate in size, inexpensive but high in quality. My son and I like it very much.
Couldn’t be happier with my decision to buy this Skytrak package, I can’t stay off of it. Easy setup and great quality. 10/10 recommend!
This enclosure is awesome! I don’t have any complaints. It looks sharp and was very easy to assemble. I’d highly recommend it to anyone!
It is PERFECT. Just needs to be kept about a foot from the wall, behind the impact screen.
Works and looks great.. I highly recommend it to anyone that want a a enclosure.
Great product, I just wish that the simulator frame will come with a protective foam.
Was a great purchase
Dear Top Shelf Golf, We couldn’t be happier with our purchase of the Skytrak Perfect Bay Golf simulator package. We get so much use out of it and the entire family loves the setup. When we ordered it everything was here within about a week and haven’t stopped using it since. Thank you, James Snyder
Ivan and the Top Shelf Golf team were extremely helpful in answering questions I had! The golf screen enclosure I ordered arrived in a timely manner and is very durable. Will recommend to others!
It works perfect in our space! It was very easy to put together and didn’t take too much time. Still doing little tweaks here and there as the stuff stretches out some to get it to fit the best but we are 100% happy with it!
Awesome product. Shipping was super quick, the Perfect Bay was easy to set up, and provides a top quality experience for our kids. The bay gives our mocked up simulator a more professional feel and the side walls protect from the shanks that occur with young golfers (and us adults as well). With long winters, this will provide us the opportunity to continue to work on our game and play golf year round. I highly recommend the product.
Got my Skytrak set up this week. I bought the “PerfectBay” package. With the 6x10 mat and Optoma ZH406ST projector. I also bought a gaming computer and safety net from Amazon. It took about 4 hours to set up the impact screen and mount the projector. I had to extend the down rod on the projector mount. I found 1 ¼” emt from Lowes was the perfect size to extend the down rod. It took me (a non-computer guy) about 2 hours to set up Skytrak My daughter and I have been out playing the Game Improvement everyday since we hooked it up. I am doing research now to see what golf course package I am going to add on. Well worth the money. Adam
Probably the greatest customer support and communication I’ve ever received from any company I’ve done business with. The personalization and dedication of the Top Shelf Golf team is above and beyond my expectations. The products themselves shipped fast and all exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely purchase more products from here and absolutely LOVE my PerfectBay full simulation package. 10 out of 10 for sure.
Setup works really well in basement. No trouble hitting ball or projecting on screen. Still having some problems with distance matching how far I hit a ball
The folks at Top Shelf Golf were fantastic. They listened to what I was trying to do and assisted me with everything I needed to have a great set up. The SkyTrak package I purchased from then is great. I was pretty easy to set up (having someone help is a plus). In fact, when I sent this video to them Ivan noticed my picutre was not taking up the entire screen and suggested I adjust my aspect ratio; thank Ivan. I would highly recommend them for your simulator needs.
Been the best purchase I have made. I have played forty plus rounds in the winter and this will help in the summer. My son loves to play and is improving each day.
Set up the SkyTrak with the Return net enclosure in about 1 hour by myself. Super easy to set up and use. Ordered on a Friday evening and had everything at the house by the following Friday. Had a question about setting up the SkyTrak and Ivan quickly answered my question. Would recommend. I use in my garage with 9 ft ceilings and have plenty of room.
I got my screen and enclosure on time, was fairly easy to assemble if you follow the instructions that they send you. We have been hitting on it for a couple weeks and is great. As advertised
I love my set up from Top Shelf Golf by going to Top ShelfGolf and not SkyGolf I probably saved about $2000 and I love it
I absolutely love my new SkyTrak Perfect Bay simulator setup from Topshelf Golf! It’s setup in my basement which has 9 ft. ceilings. I’m only 5’8” so it works out perfectly. Everything included was top quality and arrived within a couple of weeks. The 8’ x 10.5’ is the perfect size screen for my setup. It took some time setting up the enclosure and hanging the Optoma projector but I couldn’t be happier having my own simulator to practice or play a round of golf whenever. I also purchased the TGC 2019 software so I can play all the top courses around the world. I can even play my home course, TPC River’s Bend during the cold winter months in Ohio. Awesome! My brother comes over a lot to play and he said “this is the best toy ever” and we are both in our 50’s. If you love golf and are thinking about installing a golf simulator, get it from Topshelf Golf. They have everything you’ll need!
I have had the Top Shelf Golf Simulator for about 2 weeks now. I have used it several times and I can say with quite a bit of confidence that this will definitely improve my golf game. Especially through this cold winter season in Chicago. Short little pick up sessions between 45 and 90 minutes I believe will do wonders. The projector is on order and it will only add to the enjoyment and effectiveness. Thank you Top Shelf.
It's very durable and reasonable spending. our family and my friend enjoy perfect swing bay (10x8x5) in the garage for indoor golf
I don't normally leave reviews, but when I do....their positive. I was surprised how easy it was to put together...took me about 15-20 minutes. I didn't see issues with any of the pieces. If I wanted to move it, I would be comfortable taking it apart and putting it back together to give an idea of how easy it is to assemble. I thought the screen would look and feel more like Tyvek, but it was surprisingly plush and surprisingly white. It's supposed to take up to 250 mph ball speeds...least to say I won' t be sniffing that anytime, unless Martin Borgmeier or Kyle Berkshire visit. I was also pleasantly surprised by the price. It was on the less expensive side compared to other screens, but I felt like I purchased a high quality hitting bay. My only advice is to use clean, white golf balls only. I hit a dirty one into the net and saw it leave a ball mark. I was able to clean it, but lesson learned. Also, buy some Top Flite bombs if you want to feel good about your distance :D Ok done. Thanks TopShelf and PerfectBay. I hope I never have to call you for any issues :)
The PerfectBay Screen Enclosure is the perfect addition to your home golf studio. The 10.5’x8’ is perfect for my garage and I couldn’t be happier.
We love our swing boy! It was super easy to assemble, and works great. My 10 year old son put 90% of it together by himself, I helped with the lifting and that was about it. Can’t recommend this anymore!
The perfect bay golf simulator is an awesome experience. Everything shipped fast within a week and came in a timely matter. Setup was a breeze with the enclosure. Thank you top shelf golf for a 5 star experience!!!
