Garage golf simulator planning guide

Garages are the most common home simulator location — and the most variable.

Garage-specific considerations

• Door tracks and openers often hang below the ceiling. Measure under them.
• Temperature and humidity affect electronics and screens; check each manufacturer's operating range.
• Light leaks wash out projected images.
• Shared use: if cars still park there, consider retractable or portable setups.
• Concrete floors: plan flooring or a thicker mat base.

Planning steps

1. Measure the usable box under the door tracks.
2. Decide permanent or portable.
3. Choose technology based on depth — see radar vs. photometric.
4. Lay it out in the Room Planner.
5. Build your list in the Simulator Builder.
