Carl's Team Insights: The Built-In Look
My project began with a basement remodel where we had to gut and rebuild the entire basement, which left me considering options of where to put a golf simulator. I chose the Built-In Golf Room Kit because it could easily convert from golf simulator to open entertaining space.
Since I had a limited height, but full control over how to frame out the width in my space I started by considering options that would maintain a true 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio. This helped me determine the final width of my wall before the remodel began.
Instead of a full enclosure, I decided to add padded panels to the ceiling and use curtains on either side of the space to keep it easy to change. During the build, we started by mounting the cable anchors and hanging the screen. Once the screen was up and tensioned, we moved on to installing the padded ceiling panels and curtains.
Looking back, I'm happy that I chose a 16:9 format so I can easily switch between golf sim and home theater uses. I'm also happy I used curtains. I can already see the benefits of opening the space up after just one weekend.
Built-In Golf Room Features
Integrated Into Your Room
A built-in golf simulator is arguably the most realistic-feeling and immersive indoor golf setup you can buy.
Once installed, no need to worry about your golf simulator setting. A built-in golf simulator is a more permanent solution, which means it is more integrated into the room’s design. Great for enhancing your property’s value with a built-in golf simulator as a unique selling point.
Maximize (and Multi-Purpose-ify) Your Space
A built-in golf simulator maximizes the space in your room, allowing for more room for freely swinging. Add some nice speakers or a little surround sound and some recliners to your built-in golf simulator, and you’ve now got yourself a legit home theater.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Built-In Golf Room Kit is designed for more experienced DIYers.
- For the built-in golf screen, you will need to mount the corner cable anchors to the bottom and top plates of your wall. (Do not use drywall anchors to install the corner anchors; they won’t hold.)
Your choice of wall protection also has some level of difficulty.
- The adhesive wall tiles need to be carefully laid out, and stuck to the wall neatly. Probably the easiest of the wall protection options.
- The curtains need hardware that screws into your ceiling.
- The padded panels come assembled, but you'll need to attach them to walls using Z clips and a French cleat. See more in our manual or assembly video.
If you're not comfortable installing the Built-In Golf Room Kit yourself, consider hiring a more experienced friend or contractor. Or if you can't securely mount the corner anchors, consider Carl's DIY and Pro Enclosures that can be customized to fit many spaces.
To secure the built-in screen kit, you must mount the corner cable anchors to the bottom and top plates of your wall. Do not use drywall anchors to install the corner anchors; they won’t hold. If you can't securely mount the corner anchors, consider an enclosure.
If you're installing our padded wall panels, a perfectly square space with level floors, ceilings, etc. is most important, otherwise the perfectly rectangular panels may expose the extra space created by the sloping of the room. Consider choosing the carpet or acoustic wall tiles which are trimmable to fit awkward spaces.
The cables used for the Carl’s Place built-in screen kit essentially acts as the frame and mounting point for the impact screen. Unlike the Carl’s C-Series Enclosures, which only incorporate a cable at the bottom of the screen, the entire perimeter of the built-in screen kit is framed by two cables, joined together about halfway up each vertical side.
The hardware for your Built-In Golf Room Kit depends on your setup choices.

The flaps of the screen are designed to cover the hardware, ensuring a clean look for your golf screen. In the case of Carl's walled enclosures (our DIY Golf Enclosure Kit and our Pro Golf Enclosure Kit), these flaps would connect to the enclosure's fabric walls. However, as the Built-In Golf Room Kit lacks walls, you'll need to secure the flaps to the walls and ceiling of your room. We offer two methods for this:
-
Hook-and-Loop Fastener Tape:
- This tape is secured to the walls and ceiling, providing a point of contact to attach the flaps. It ensures a clean appearance by concealing the cable, zip ties, and hardware.

-
Starter Panels:
- Required when installing our padded Golf Room Panels and recommended for other installations, these thin boards have a strip of hook-and-loop fastener tape, providing a more secure attachment point for the flaps. Starter Panels can be used on both walls and ceiling, offering a streamlined and secure method of attachment.

Starter Panels can be used on both walls and ceiling, offering a streamlined and secure method of attachment.
You can use a combination of Starter Panels and hook-and-loop fastener tape based on your installation preferences for the Built-In Golf Room Kit.
To replace one of the padded wall panels, you can slide panels off by row to replace damaged ones. If you added trim to the end of the row you'll need to remove that first. Contact us to order a replacement wall panel. We can try to get you the closest match possible, but know that each lot of fabric will have slight variations.
We select panel sizes based on your room dimensions. With your order, you will receive a custom layout diagram outlining the panel placement for each wall, but you can rearrange the panels if desired.

Starter Panels are thin boards that attach around the perimeter of your screen. They provide a dedicated attachment surface for the screen flaps.
In screen-only installations, Starter Panels are optional, as you can alternatively attach the flaps using simple hook-and-loop fastener tape provided. However, for a more secure attachment with a sleek finish, Starter Panels are recommended.In installations involving padded wall or ceiling panels as part of your Built-In Golf Room Kit, Starter Panels become a necessity. They provide the necessary surface for the panels to sit against and prevent any unwanted shifting.
For just the built-in screen, lead times are similar to our normal screen orders, less than a week, give or take. If you’re ordering padded panels, the lead time can be longer. When you check out, you'll see estimated delivery dates in the cart.
With this wall-to-wall built-in golf room kit, most screens won't have perfect ratios. You have a couple options:
- Contact us to order a screen where the black masking at the top is larger. This can help make the screen look more finished.
- Edit your graphics card settings on your PC. Here's how todo that.
- Accept that you will have some unused screen space, but that it will still be a fabulous wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling screen.
Your best choice if you need to customize your wall protection around obstructions like soffits, outlets, fans, lights, or angled ceilings is to choose our carpet or acoustic wall tiles which are easily trimmable.
If you choose padded panels, you may be able to accomplish this with a DIY project. You would need to be pretty crafty. The fabric cover and foam padding of the panel are adhered, so you would have to remove it, then cut the inner core to fit your needs and reattach.
