Better for C-Series DIY Enclosure (8x10.5)
- Cost-Effective Buyer
Standard screen at $1,174.95 delivers a real enclosure for less than a Net Return + Pro Sim Screen combo, and a meaningfully larger image. EMT sourced locally further reduces cost.
Better for SIG8 Enclosure
- Space-Constrained
Not a low-ceiling answer: SIG asks for a 9 ft ceiling, and the frame alone stands 8'4". What it does fit is a narrower, shorter room than the rest of the SIG line, at least 10 ft wide and 16 ft long against 12 by 18 for the SIG10. Under a 9 ft ceiling, no enclosure fixes it: that is below Shop Indoor Golf's swing minimum for every golfer.
