FAQ

Q: What is included with the Garmin Approach R50® Pro Golf Simulator Package?
A: Garmin Approach R50® Launch Monitor, Carl's Place Pro Golf Simulator Enclosure Kit with Premium Impact Screen and your choice of Projector.

Q: How far away should I hit from my impact screen?
A: For the safety of both the golfer and the impact screen, we recommend placing the center of your hitting area a minimum of 10-12 feet away from the impact screen.

Q: Can I iron or steam a golf impact screen?
A: We do not recommend ironing your impact screen, as it's easy to damage the material. To avoid wrinkles, unpack your impact screen immediately upon arrival and fold it loosely if you need to store it. Most wrinkles will smooth out naturally when the impact screen is mounted with tension using zip ties. If needed, you can carefully use a consumer-grade steamer with distilled water to help remove wrinkles.

Q: Are there safety concerns when using a golf simulator?
A: Safety is a priority with any indoor golf setup. Follow the assembly manual provided with your enclosure, keep children, pets, and spectators out of swing range, and protect nearby walls, ceilings, and windows.

Q: Do I need to use a golf hitting mat?
A: Yes, a golf hitting mat provides a cushioned surface to protect your joints and allows for more realistic practice. When choosing a mat size, consider your stance and whether you need space for both right-handed and left-handed golfers.

Q: What is the difference between Carl's Enclosure Kits?
A: The Pro Golf Simulator Enclosure Kit offers premium materials, larger sizes, and extra safety features, ideal for commercial setups. Carl’s DIY Golf Simulator Enclosure Kit is a simple, budget-friendly option to create a golf simulator space. The Curved Golf Simulator Enclosure Kit adds an immersive curved impact screen for a panoramic playing experience.

Q: What if the black enclosure surround material gets hit with a golf ball?
A: The enclosure surround material is not designed for direct impacts, however golf balls rebounding off the impact screen and contacting the enclosure surround should not cause issues. Thankfully, Carl's BlackStop™ material that is featured on the Pro Enclosure is their most durable.

Q: Can I get a replacement impact screen for the enclosure?
A: Yes, contact [email protected] for replacement impact screens.

Q: How much buffer space do I need around my enclosure?
A: We recommend allowing for 6-7 inches of ceiling buffer space to make installation easier. For width, subtract 4-6 inches from your available space to allow 2-3 inches of clearance on each side. Additionally, allow for a minimum of 9.5" behind the enclosure for the rear fitting.

Q: What pipes do I need to construct the enclosure kit frame?
A: Pro Enclosures use 2-inch EMT (True O.D. 2.197" / 55.8 mm). You can add a Pipe Framing Kit to your order for pre-cut, labeled pipes or source EMT locally.

Q: How long does it take to assemble the enclosure?
A: Assembly can take as little as 2 hours. We recommend having 2-3 people, especially for larger enclosure sizes. For guidance, refer to our assembly video and manual.

Q: What are EMT pipes?
A: EMT stands for Electrical Metal Tubing (also called Electrical Metal Conduit). These metal pipes form the frame of your enclosure. Be sure to use EMT, not PVC, which is incompatible with the Pro Enclosure fittings.

Q: Where and how should I mount my projector?
A: Projector placement depends on your viewable screen dimensions and the throw ratio of your projector. Feel free to reach out to our team so we can provide you with the exact mounting location based upon the enclosure size and projector that you choose. Common mounting options include flush or drop mounts and floor mounts.
