Golf Simulator Impact Screens: Replacement golf simulator screens are made to order from one of three impact-mesh options. The 3-ply HD material adds a foam interior layer for lower transparency, noise reduction and quick recovery.
We recommend choosing a pocket (sleeve) on the top and bottom of the screen to hang it from a bar. This ensures uniform horizontal support. Insert a chain in the lower sleeve to provide slight tension while allowing maximum give. Grommets are recommended on the vertical sides to connect to your frame using ball-bungees.
All three raw materials come in 120-inch fabric widths, which means one dimension of your screen should not exceed 120" in order to avoid seams. Grommets and pockets may reduce the maximum size of the constrained dimension. Your projector's aspect ratio and throw ratio are used to calculate your optimal screen dimensions.
Consider side panels to close in your "fairway" and contain shanked shots to protect walls, windows and yourself from ricochets. Use solid panels to block external light and improve your picture quality. Use mesh to allow airflow and visibility. See our DIY Golf Simulator Guide for tips on building and sizing your sim room and screen.
Virtual golf simulators are a great way to work on your golf swing all year round. The projection screens used by these systems need to take a lot of abuse. Low quality simulator screens may be cheap to buy but they don’t end up lasting very long. Our high-quality golf simulator impact screens are extremely cost-effective. They are designed to provide years of enjoyment and are made to your exact specifications.
We have three different materials from which to choose. Visit this page to learn more about our golf mesh material.
Below you will find information about sizing and installing your custom golf simulator screens. Follow the links to gain insight into building your golf simulator room and to help ensure that you order the best size of screen for your set up.
Three layers with a foam interior. This material offers the best image quality, the quietest impact, and no black backing is needed to render a crisp image.
Our best single-ply material, with the second-highest image quality. It can be enhanced with a black background behind the screen.
Our standard material, made from the same polyester yarn as HD Golf Mesh with a looser weave, so the image is good but less crisp. Add a black background behind the screen for the best picture. See the full comparison on our golf mesh page.
This image shows a comparison of the standard Golf Mesh and the HD Golf Mesh. These screen samples are sitting on a table with some dark wood grain so that you can see that the HD Golf Mesh blocks out more of the dark areas. You can also see that the HD Golf Mesh offers a smoother surface.
We recommend reviewing various sections of this website before you place your order. Depending on your situation, follow one of the sections below.
If you are replacing an existing screen, your simplest option is to order a screen in the exact size and finishing of your current screen (assuming you don't want to make any adjustments). Our order screen offers grommets and pockets as fasteners. If your screen uses Velcro, D-rings or some other type of fastener, please contact us, since we can likely finish the screen in the same way as your current screen is finished.
If your grommets need to be precisely aligned with your current screen, please provide a diagram that shows exact grommet positions, measured from left-to-right from one edge as illustrated here.
In addition to the size and finishing, you will need to choose the material for your replacement screen. This will mainly be determined by the image quality and price point you are seeking.
To order this online, use our golf simulator screen order form and enter your required dimensions, pocket sizes and grommet configuration.
If you are just getting started on setting up your golf sim room, you will want to check out our DIY Golf Simulator Room Guide. This will walk you through all of the components that are typically required and how they will be configured. If you have already built your room and just need the screen, you can concentrate on steps 4 and 5 in the guide where we detail your options for the golf screen finishing and sizing. Be sure to try our interactive calculator which helps size your screen according to your equipment specs.
In addition to the screen itself, we can also make side panels like the ones shown here or even full cages to protect stray balls from damaging your walls or breaking your valuables. These panels can be made from 18 oz vinyl, if you want to block out the maximum light. We can also use 90% block premium mesh, to block some light while allowing airflow or 60% mesh which provides maximum airflow.
If you are already using one of our tarps as an indoor golf simulator screen please send us a note and we will post it on our blog. A nice customer sent us this video of himself using one of our replacement golf simulator screens.
If you find that your screen has become soiled or shows scuff marks, these marks can be lessened by using a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Scrub in the direction of the grooves on the screen. Never use a bleach based cleaner on your screen since the bleach will weaken the material.
A 3-ply screen can arrive with fold creases from shipping. A fold is both a crease in the fabric and compression in the foam layer inside, so it takes longer to relax than a crease in a single-ply screen. Hang the screen first, flat with some give and not drum-tight, and leave it hung. Many fold marks relax over a few days, and some take a week or two. Judge the creases only after the screen has hung for a while.
If creases remain, steam the screen with a clean garment steamer and distilled water, on a low setting, holding the nozzle 6 to 12 inches away, never touching, keeping it moving, and letting each section cool and dry under tension. If you do not have a steamer, steam-iron through a clean cloth: lay a bath towel completely smooth and flat on an ironing board, lay the creased area on it, cover it with a clean, non-textured tea towel, and steam-iron on medium heat, keeping the iron in motion without too much focused heat. The ironing temporarily compresses the foam, but the foam reflates over time. If a crease still shows in the projected image after steaming or ironing and a week or two hung, please contact us with a photo of the screen.
3-ply polyester mesh absorbs high-velocity ball energy quietly with minimal rebound, while providing a smooth white projection surface for 1080p and 4K displays.
Install the impact screen at least 12 inches away from any back wall to allow fabric deformation upon ball impact without hitting structural surfaces.
Hang the screen on a top pocket over a bar, with side grommets on ball bungees and a weighted bottom pocket, tensioned flat with some give so it flexes on impact.
Please share with the team that made my tarp…Love it! I have been sharing your name with everyone😀..
Editor's Note
Thanks for the HD Golf Screen and Mesh. It worked out great. Here is a pic for you to use.
Awesome customer service. Very knowledgeable, and helpful. Great product! We’ve been using the enclosure screen and love it. Now we don’t have balls bouncing all over the garage. Here is a picture of our finished product. Thanks again for all the support and help.Here is another photo sent in by Trevor of Watrous, Saskatchewan 
. Trevor writes "Love the tarp. It was exactly what we requested, and is working flawlessly as the impact screen for our golf simulator."
In addition to DIY golf impact screens, our tarps are often used as inexpensive movie projection screens.
Once you have checked the room, the build, the material and the launch monitor, order a custom golf simulator screen to your exact size. Minimum order $99.
