- Your build, your bay: A complete screen and enclosure kit you frame yourself with basic tools. No contractor needed.
- The image reaches the floor: A borderless bottom cable pulls the picture all the way down with minimal bounce-back.
- Four screen materials: Standard, Preferred, Premium, and High-Contrast Gray. Pick for your lighting and your budget.
DIY Golf Simulator Enclosure (C-Series)
Some golfers pay someone to build the bay. You would rather cut the pipe. The C-Series is a complete screen-plus-enclosure kit: you source or add the 1-inch EMT frame yourself and cut it to the list, and that work is exactly what saves you thousands over a pro install.
Every kit ships with a floor-to-turf impact screen with no seams, the black-out BlackStop™ enclosure, and steel corner fittings. Six stock sizes, so you match the kit to the room you already have.

See how the frame, enclosure, and impact screen go together: start to first swing.
A Complete Bay, Your Way
Sized to Your Room
Six stock sizes run from a compact 8 ft bay up to a wide 10 ft-plus setup, so you measure the room first and buy to fit, not the reverse.
The Image Hits the Floor
A borderless bottom cable pulls the picture all the way down with minimal bounce-back, so a low chip runs onto the screen instead of dying on a black border. Putts and low shots read cleanly.
BlackStop™ Enclosure
Black-out BlackStop™ panels do two jobs at once. They catch the shot you push off the toe, and they cut the ambient light that washes out a projector, so the picture sharpens the moment the panels go up.
Four Screen Materials
Standard poly-knit for durability on a budget. Preferred and triple-layer Premium as you move up in image quality. High-Contrast Gray for rooms with ambient light you cannot kill.
Extras in the Box
Steel corner and support fittings, cable receivers, springs, and zip ties are all included, with extras in the box, because a part that rolls under the workbench at 10pm should not end your build night.
Built in an Afternoon
Build the frame, hang the enclosure, tension the screen, tee off. The guide includes an EMT pipe cut list, and the whole job runs under an afternoon with basic tools.
Space You Will Need
Measure before you buy. These are the manufacturer's clearances for a safe, well-tensioned bay. Plan your room around them and the build goes smoothly.
Who the DIY Enclosure Is Built For
The First-Time Builder
You have never built anything like this. Follow the guide, cut the EMT to the list, and by the end of the afternoon there is a finished bay in the garage that you put up yourself.
The Garage or Basement Convert
You are converting a room you already have. Six stock sizes fit the kit to your walls and your ceiling instead of forcing the room to change.
The Value-Focused Golfer
Paying for labor you could do yourself would bug you every time you walked in the room. You get tour-quality screen options at a fraction of a built-in room because you supply the frame pipe and the work.
The Upgrader
You have outgrown the net. You are ready to see the full ball flight on a projected image, on a screen matched to your projector and your lighting.
Carl's Place impact screens are built to take real golf balls at full driver speed. Take full swings without worrying about the screen. The BlackStop™ enclosure catches anything the screen does not, keeping your room and gear protected.
Specifications
In the box: impact screen in your chosen material, BlackStop™ enclosure panels, steel corner and support fittings, cable receivers, springs, zip ties and hook-and-loop fasteners, and a detailed assembly guide. Optional add-ons include pre-cut EMT frame pipes, safety baffles, net wall extensions, and a back cover kit.

From Box to First Swing
1. Measure Your Space
Confirm you have 10 to 12 ft of hitting distance, 2-3 in. of buffer around the frame, and 12-16 in. of clearance behind the screen (8.25 in. minimum for the rear fittings).
2. Build the Frame
Cut 1-inch EMT to the included list (or drop in the pre-cut Pipe Framing Kit), sized 4 in. taller and wider than the screen.
3. Hang the Enclosure
Attach the BlackStop™ enclosure panels to the frame with the included steel corner fittings and fasteners.
4. Tension the Screen
Hang the impact screen and tension it evenly with the included zip ties and hook-and-loop fasteners for a flat surface and a clean image.
5. Aim the Projector
Center your projector on the screen and dial in the image. Darker rooms (or the High-Contrast Gray screen) give the deepest blacks.
6. Let It Settle
Give the screen a couple of days under tension to relax any wrinkles, keep new balls clean, and you are set for thousands of swings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each kit includes your chosen impact screen, BlackStop™ enclosure panels, steel corner and support fittings, and cable receivers, springs and zip ties with extras. You also get a detailed assembly guide with an EMT pipe cut list. The 1-inch EMT frame pipe is supplied by you or added as an optional Pipe Framing Kit.
Plan for 10 to 12 ft of hitting distance from the screen, 2 to 3 in. of buffer on each side and the top of the enclosure, and 12-16 in. of free clearance behind the screen so the material can stretch, with a minimum of 8.25 in. required for the rear fittings. Build the frame 4 in. taller and wider than the screen for even tension, per Carl's impact-screen framing guidance.
Standard is a durable, budget-friendly poly-knit starter. Preferred adds a tighter weave and a smoother surface for noticeably better image definition, a favorite for home and commercial use. Premium is a triple-layer, noise-dampening screen for the sharpest image and quietest impact. High-Contrast Gray uses the same tri-layer build with deeper blacks, ideal for rooms with ambient light.
The frame is built from 1-inch steel EMT, which you can buy locally to save money using the included cut list, or add the pre-cut Pipe Framing Kit for a no-measuring, no-cutting build. The kit includes the steel fittings and fasteners either way.
EMT stands for Electrical Metal Tubing, also called Electrical Metal Conduit, and it forms the frame for your enclosure and screen. Do not use PVC. It will not work with the included fittings. Note that 1-inch EMT is the US trade name; the true outer diameter is 1.163 in. or 27mm.
For the safety of both the golfer and the screen, the manufacturer recommends standing a minimum of 10 to 12 ft from the screen. This distance also helps prevent premature wear on the material.
Time, tension and gravity remove most wrinkles on their own within a couple of days. To speed that up, Carl's Place says you can use a clothes iron on a very low setting on the backside of the screen, or a hand steamer, being careful not to leave water spots.
Use new golf balls free of scuffs, grass stains, or marker, and keep your clubs clean. Protect the edges and grommets from direct strikes. Impact screens are wearable products and may show wear early with heavy use, but they are built to withstand many thousands of strikes over their life.
The DIY (C-Series) is a budget-friendly enclosure with a simpler, build-it-yourself frame, ideal for a first setup. The Carl's Place Pro Enclosure uses a more rigid frame with higher screen tension for a flatter surface and a more finished, premium look. Choose Pro for the best image and appearance; choose DIY for the best value.

Carl's Place impact screens and enclosure materials are wearable products and do not carry a warranty, and all impact screen sales are final with no returns.
