Pipe Framing Kit — Most Popular
Complete your DIY golf simulator enclosure with the structural pipes needed to build your frame. While 1-inch EMT conduit is required and available at most hardware stores, our Pipe Framing Kit saves you time and effort by providing pre-cut pieces in the exact lengths your setup requires.
Benefits:
- Faster assembly — no measuring or cutting required
- Ensures a strong, square, and durable frame
- No hardware store trips needed — delivered ready to build
EMT Requirements
Unless you've selected the Pipe Framing Kit add-on, you'll need to purchase 2-inch EMT (electrical metal tubing) from your local hardware store to complete your frame. We'll include all details on what lengths and quantities of EMT are required.
Please note, 2-inch EMT is the US trade name of the material, however, the true outer diameter is 2.197″ or 55.8mm.
Back Cover Kit & Pipe Kit — Image Quality Upgrade
Block out ambient light to achieve a sharper, more immersive projected image. Add the Pipe Kit for a complete plug-and-play solution — or source your own pipes using our guide.
Benefits:
- Improved image contrast and brightness
- Cleaner, more professional installation aesthetic
- Helps reduce light bleed for movie-quality visuals
Ceiling Baffles — For Competitive Golfers
Designed to hang from the ceiling above your enclosure, these heavy-duty panels absorb stray shots and prevent ricochets. They not only add a professional finish to your setup but also provide an extra layer of protection for you and your surroundings.
Benefits:
- Keeps shots in play — especially for steep launch angles
- Ideal for lower-ceiling simulator setups
- Increases confidence to swing freely indoors

FAQ
Care and Use Information
How far away should I stand from my impact screen?
For the safety of both the golfer and the screen, we recommend standing a minimum of 10-12 feet away from the screen.
Can I wash my golf screen material?

Are there safety concerns when using a golf simulator?
We want your indoor golf set up to be fun, help improve your game, and be safe for everyone.
- Make sure to follow the assembly manual provided with your enclosure.
- Keep children, pets, and spectators out of swing range.
- Protect ceilings, walls, windows, cars & neighboring homes, click here for more info
- Understand our Terms of Sale
Do I need to use a golf hitting mat?
Golf hitting mats give you a nice cushy surface to stand and swing your golf club. They help protect your joints from any impact during your swing. They also let you have a more realistic golf practice when you can tee up the golf ball at the perfect height and swing freely.
When choosing a size for your golf mat consider the golfer's needs. A size of 4'x5' will let most golfers swing a driver with their heels comfortably on the edge of the mat. A larger size, 5'x7' or 4'x9', would be able to accommodate golfers with a wide stance or if you have friends over swinging either rightie or leftie.
Golf Enclosure Information
What is the difference between Carl's Enclosure Kits?
Carl's DIY Golf Enclosure Kit offers you an easy, entry-level way to build a safe place to swing your clubs. An affordable, convenient kit, the DIY Enclosure Kit helps home golfers take the guesswork out of designing their own golf simulator.
Carl's Pro Golf Enclosure Kit is a higher-end enclosure for top-of-the-line performance in a golf simulator. Because it's available in wider, deeper bays with additional safety features it makes the best commercial golf simulator enclosure.
Carl's Curved Golf Enclosure Kit takes the Pro Enclosure’s sturdy design to the next level, adding a seamless curved screen for a truly immersive experience. Its unique structure surrounds the golfer, creating a lifelike, panoramic view that’s as impressive as it is functional.
Not sure which one is for you? Check out this article "DIY vs Pro" article to help you decide.
How much space do I need for the enclosure?
When measuring for a golf simulator, make sure you take into account:
- Buffer space: You don't want your golf simulator right up next to any walls or ceiling. Balls that contact the walls or ceiling can cause damage and have unwanted bounce back.
- Footprint of the golf enclosure: Make sure to check the actual dimensions of the enclosure footprint. Our C-Series enclosures have built-in buffer space in the rear with the backset rear fitting.
- Safe golfing distance away from the screen: For the safety of both the golfer and the screen, we recommend standing a minimum distance of 10 to 12 feet away from the screen.
- Height of the golfer(s)
- Length of the golf club(s)
- Turf thickness, heating ducts, and soffits
- Furniture and access to doorways
When will my enclosure ship?
Our golf enclosure kits are made to order (which is why we can customize them down to the inch!). We make sure they are measured, sewn, and packed perfectly before they are ready to ship. Because of that, production lead time may fluctuate based on volume.
- All products take 1-2 business days to process
- Most of Carl's Places products are delivered within 7-10 business days
- Once your order is placed, you will receive tracking info with a good faith delivery ETA. Please note this is an estimate and not a guarantee.
What if the black enclosure material gets hit with a golf ball?
The enclosure material is not designed to take a direct hit from a golf ball. However, if you hit the white impact screen, and it bounces and hits the enclosure, you should not experience any issues.
Can I get a replacement screen for the enclosure?
We can easily make you a replacement screen to save you money. Replacement screens can be ordered by contacting one of our Customer Service Experts. Learn more information about extending the life of your golf impact screen.
How big is the enclosure?
The Resources section lists actual frame dimensions to guide you in determining which enclosure is the right fit for your space.
Note how the C-Series enclosures have a backset rear fitting. This creates a footprint 9.5" deeper than the listing size. Bonus! You needed that buffer space anyways so your hard-hit golf balls don't contact the wall. It's just built into the enclosure footprint.
Layouts may vary. Deeper enclosures will have a crossbar in the middle.
Installation
What are EMT pipes?
EMT stands for Electrical Metal Tubing, also known as, Electrical Metal Conduit. We often just refer to them as pipes on our website. You need EMT (pipes) to build the frame for your enclosure/screen. Do not mistake PVC pipes for EMT. PVC will not work with our fittings. You have 2 options on how to get the necessary pipes:
- Add a Pipe Framing Kit. (You'll see these as accessories on our DIY and Pro Golf Enclosure Kits.
-
Source EMT pipes at your local building supply store.
- DIY Enclosures require 1″ EMT.
- Pro and Curved Enclosures require 2" EMT which can be more difficult to find. Make sure you have a source for your EMT when selecting whether you want to add on our Pipe Framing Kit options.
How long does it take to assemble the enclosure?
Is Carl's curved golf simulator really DIY?
What pipes do I need to construct the enclosure kit frame?
Our Curved Golf Enclosures require 2-inch EMT ((Electrical Metal Tubing/Conduit). We recommend you add a Pipe Framing Kit to your order so you get pre-cut, perfectly sized, and marked pipes for your enclosure frame. That way all you have to do is assemble your frame and enclosure.
Note, these pipes can be difficult to source locally. Be sure you can purchase it near you before making your final buying decision. Either way, we will provide a diagram indicating the required cut lengths for your specific size kit.
Orders with a 'Pipe Framing Kit' ship freight. If you are unable to unload a pallet of 50lb boxes, you should add lift gate service. If you are outside of the US, freight shipping the Pipe Framing Kit may be cost-prohibitive.Does a curved golf simulator require a special projector?
For the best image, where the image aligns seamlessly with the curved screen, you have two options:
- Use a projector with built-in image warping capabilities.
Carl's Place offers the BenQ AK700ST, and BenQ LK936ST, and LG ProBeam BU53RG projectors, which all have integrated warping capabilities. - Pair any standard projector with warping software, such as Immersive Display Pro. Screen warping software allows you to “pinch” the projected image to accommodate the depth in the curve.
Important Note: When mounting your projector, measure the distance to the leading (front) edge of the curved screen closest to the golfer, NOT the deepest part of the curve.
Custom Options
Can you make a custom size curved enclosure?
Absolutely! Our curved golf simulator enclosures can be customized to fit your space, as long as it falls within these outer dimensions:
- Height: 102" to 120"
- Width: 144" to 240"
- Depth: 82" to 240"
These dimensions reflect the enclosure's outer edges, so make sure to also account for buffer space around it—6 inches above and 2-3 inches on each side for a proper fit.
If your space falls within these ranges, contact our team to discuss your setup. Since custom enclosures are made just for you, be sure to review our Returns Policy for custom products.
What’s the smallest space I can use for a curved golf simulator?
Got a cozy setup? The smallest space that can accommodate Carl's Curved Golf Enclosure Kit is 9 ft high x 12.5 ft wide x 18 ft deep. This includes the buffer space you need around the enclosure—6 inches above the enclosure and 2-3 inches on each side. Contact us for help creating a custom sized enclosure to fit your space.
