Classic with Loop Fasteners:
If you want to attach accessories to your screen, the Classic with Loop Fasteners is ideal. This option adds 1-inch loop fastener strips around the edges, making it easy to connect items using hook fasteners. Perfect for creating a customized golf simulator setup!
Aspect Ratio
When building your DIY impact screen, we recommend matching your projector’s aspect ratio. However, many customers prioritize fitting their screen to their space first and choosing their projector, or adjusting the projected image, later. Decide which option works best for your needs. If you need help, just contact us!
Mounting Your Screen
For easy mounting, we recommend pairing your screen with the 6-inch or 9-inch Black Ball Bungees. These are available in any quantity you need to fit your setup.
Built to Last
The durability of your screen depends on usage style, frequency, and skill level. All our screens and materials are rigorously tested to handle thousands of strikes at speeds up to 250 mph.
Which Carl's Place golf impact screen is best for me?
For home users, the Standard Golf Screen offers the best value and is the most budget-friendly option. If you’re looking for enhanced image quality at an affordable price, the Preferred Screen is a great upgrade. However, the most popular and highest-rated product is the Premium Golf Screen, which features noise reduction to soften the sound of ball strikes and reduce bounce-back.
All of the Carl's Place impact screens support HD and 4K projection, provided your projector can output a native high-definition resolution. Standard screens have a more textured surface, which may slightly impact image clarity. On the other hand, Premium screens have an ultra-smooth surface, offering the sharpest and most detailed picture for your simulator.

Which golf impact screen is best for HD/4K UHD images?
All Carl's Place screens support HD and 4K projection. However, the Premium Impact Screen will have the sharpest visual, with a smooth surface and minimal texture, ideal for high-definition displays.
Can golf impact screens be used for rear-projection?
No, the Carl's Place golf impact screens are designed for front projection only.
When will I start to see wear on my golf impact screen?
The Carl's Place golf impact screens are tested to handle thousands of hits at speeds up to 250 mph. Wear will vary based on usage frequency, user skill, and whether the screen is used at home or commercially.
How can I reduce bounce-back?
Install the screen with some slack, ensuring it has room to absorb impact. Standing further back and adjusting your setup can also help. For more tips, check out our guide on Troubleshooting Impact Screen Bounce-Back.
Will my impact screen arrive wrinkled?
Screens shipped folded may have temporary creases. Mounting the screen and allowing time for it to settle will help smooth out wrinkles. A steamer with distilled water can also speed up the process.
Can I iron or steam my impact screen?
We do not recommend ironing as it may damage the material. Using a clean, consumer-grade steamer with distilled water is a safe way to remove wrinkles.
Can I use my impact screen outdoors?
No, the Carl's Place golf impact screens are designed for indoor use only.
How should I store my golf impact screen?
Ensure the screen is clean and completely dry before storing to avoid mold or mildew. Fold it loosely or roll it to minimize long-lasting creases.
How do I install my golf impact screen?
For easiest installation, use a Golf Simulator Enclosure Kit with detailed instructions. When designing your own setup, make sure the screen is hung flat but loose enough to absorb impact.
What fasteners should I use?
We recommend using 6-inch or 9-inch ball bungees for finished edge screens. Avoid over-tightening to ensure the screen has enough give for safe impact absorption.
How far should the screen be from walls or poles?
Mount the screen at least 12-16 inches from walls or support poles to prevent ricochets.
