Better for Retractable Net (16' Garage Door)
- Space-Constrained
It rolls up out of the way on the garage-door tracks, so the garage stays a garage.
Better for Golf Simulator Enclosure (SIM 1)
- Recreational Player
A complete kit with a 3-layer screen and dark velour walls for a better-looking picture, at a price close to a Carl's kit plus pipe.
- Family Setup
Velour side and ceiling panels contain stray shots, and the larger SIM sizes give width for two stances.
