Who each one is better for

Honest persona fit, side by side.

Better for DIY Enclosure Kit (10'4" x 7'11")

  • Space-Constrained

    A 4:3 frame 7'11" tall, so the enclosure itself fits under rooms that a 9-ft bay will not. Check your swing against the ceiling first.

Better for Golf Simulator Enclosure (SIM 1)

  • Family Setup

    Velour side and ceiling panels contain stray shots, and the larger SIM sizes give width for two stances.

Both fit

  • Recreational Player
