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.
Foam Insert Kit — Highly Recommended
Protect your enclosure and reduce impact with precision-fit foam inserts that sit securely behind the screen flaps.
Benefits:
- Shields the frame from ball strikes
- Enhances safety for indoor environments

Ceiling Baffles — For Competitive Golfers
Improve ball containment with ceiling baffles designed to catch high wedges and stray shots.
Benefits:
- Keeps shots in play — especially for steep launch angles

- Increases confidence to swing freely indoors
Net Wall Extensions — Safety Upgrade
Keep mishits within the hitting zone and protect the surrounding area with durable side net walls.
Benefits:
- Prevents balls from bouncing into furniture or equipment
- Adds protection for guests and beginners
- Creates a defined, controlled practice zone
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.

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 iron or steam a golf impact screen?
We do NOT recommend ironing your golf screen, simply because it is very easy to damage the screen. And we want your golf screen to last you a long, long time. With wrinkles and fold marks, the best thing is prevention. Unpack your new screen immediately, and if you need to store it, fold it very loosely. But if you're reading a section on ironing your golf screen, it's probably too late for prevention. Know that mounting your golf screen to a frame with tension, like with our zip ties or ball bungees, and letting it relax for a couple of days will smooth out most wrinkles.
That being said...
We have also had success using a steamer to help get wrinkles and folds out. Using a clean, consumer-grade steamer with distilled water will help accelerate the wrinkle removing process, and should avoid leaving water marks on your screen.

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" 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 or emailing customersupport@thegamebunker.com. Learn more information about extending the life of your golf screen.
Installation
What pipes do I need to construct the enclosure kit frame?
Our DIY Golf Simulator Enclosures require 1-inch EMT (Electrical Metal Tubing/Conduit). We recommend you add a Pipe Framing Kit to your order so you get pre-cut, perfectly sized pipes for your enclosure frame. However, you can source EMT pipes on your own. Your kit will include all details on what lengths and quantities of pipes are required.
How long does it take to assemble the enclosure?
DIY Golf Simulator Enclosure Kits assemble in about an hour, depending on the size. Of course, it goes a bit faster if you have a helper. Here's the assembly video for reference:
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.
