What Size Golf Simulator Enclosure Do You Need?
Nearly every enquiry we get starts with someone running a tape measure up their garage wall. The good news is most garages, sheds and spare rooms can fit a golf simulator enclosure. The number that makes or breaks most builds is not floor space, it is ceiling height.
These are the figures we recommend for a comfortable single-bay home setup, based on the builds we have spec'd and delivered across Australia. You can still build in less, it usually just means going irons only or hitting slightly off centre. Our golf simulator room size guide has the full breakdown, including a 5-minute swing test for your own room.
CEILING HEIGHT: 2.8M+
2.9m and above gives you full driver use. Between 2.7m and 2.9m most golfers are fine with irons, and under 2.6m is short irons and practice only.
ROOM WIDTH: 3.5M+
At 3.5m you may need to hit slightly off centre to keep your follow through off the wall. 4.5m lets you hit centrally without thinking about it.
ROOM DEPTH: 5.3M+
That is 0.3m from wall to enclosure, 3m from screen to ball and a 2m safety zone behind you. Allow 6 to 7m if you want room for seating.
ASSEMBLY CLEARANCE
The RooBox frame is stood up and rotated into place, so allow at least 150mm of clearance above and beside it to assemble it in your room.
What's Included in the RooBox Enclosure Kit
The RooBox is our out-of-the-box golf simulator enclosure, designed to give you everything you need to hit into and nothing you don't. Every kit comes with an assembly guide, cutting guide and assembly video, all available on our product documents page.
One thing to note: the enclosure does not include a hitting mat, so make sure you add one to your order. Our guide on what you actually need for a golf simulator covers the full checklist.
ALUMINIUM FRAMING KIT
Heavy duty aluminium framing that holds the whole setup together. Sourcing your own pipe? Read our 1.0mm vs 1.6mm aluminium guide first.
STEEL CORNER PIECES
Heavy duty powder coated steel corners keep the frame strong and square. They slide straight onto the pipe with no special tools.
PREMIUM IMPACT SCREEN
Commercial grade screen material built to take repeated driver strikes while displaying a sharp projected image.
SURROUND + BACK CANOPY
A heavy duty black canopy contains stray shots and frames the screen, while the back canopy blocks light from behind for a crisper picture.
FOAM PADDING
Padding on the frame seals the border so wayward shots have nowhere to escape and the frame stays protected.
BUNGEE CORDS
Attach and tension the screen. Flat but not drum tight is the sweet spot for absorbing the ball and making your screen last.
Standard, Custom or Impact Screen Only?
No two garages are the same. Our standard RooBox suits most home setups and keeps costs down. If your space has a low ceiling, an odd shape or you want a wider bay, we can build it to your measurements. And if you already have a frame, you can grab the impact screen on its own.
STANDARD ROOBOX
Our out-of-the-box size with a 1.5m deep enclosure, which catches everything except the odd absolute shank or moon shot. Ships quickly and suits most rooms that hit our recommended dimensions. Shop the standard RooBox.
CUSTOM SIZE ROOBOX
Made to your width, height and depth for tight rooms, sheds with low beams or wide bays for left and right handers. Custom builds take longer to produce and cannot be returned for change of mind. Shop the custom RooBox.
IMPACT SCREEN ONLY
Built your own frame or replacing a worn screen? Our commercial grade screens come in a standard size or a custom size. Our impact screen buyer's guide covers single vs triple layer, white vs grey and sizing.
A common misconception is that deeper is always safer. If your enclosure is short on width, a deeper frame brings it closer to your follow through, which is why we sometimes recommend going shallower in rooms tight on depth. Not sure which way to go? Request a call with a sim expert and send us your measurements.
Setting Up Your Enclosure Safely
A properly built sim is safe, and that comes down to screen tension, foam padding and distance. Get those three right and the ball gets absorbed instead of fired back at you. Here's what to plan for when you set up your RooBox.
1 TO 2 HOUR SETUP
Most people have their RooBox standing in 1 to 2 hours with one helper. The canopy and screen attach with bungees, no special tooling needed.
3M BALL TO SCREEN
Around 3m from screen to ball is ideal for most home setups, with 2.5m the practical minimum. Our ball to screen distance guide explains why.
SIDE NETTING
Not essential, but recommended shank protection. We don't judge, but your walls might.
LIGHT CONTROL
Blockout curtains and zoned lighting give you a sharper picture and fewer launch monitor misreads, while a spotlight keeps the ball well lit.
Complete Your Golf Simulator
An enclosure is something to hit into. To turn it into a working sim you also need something to hit off, something to read the ball, something to run the software and something to show the picture. Want it all in one go? Build your own simulator step by step.
HITTING MATS
Not included with the enclosure. Browse our golf hitting mats and turf.
LAUNCH MONITORS
Pick your room first, then your monitor. Shop golf launch monitors or read our launch monitor buyer's guide.
PROJECTORS
Short throw is key in a home sim. Shop golf simulator projectors or check the throw ratio guide.
SIM PCS
Built and tested for golf software. Shop golf simulator PCs.
Golf Simulator Enclosure FAQs
What size room do I need for a golf simulator enclosure?
We recommend at least a 2.8m ceiling, 3.5m of width and 5.3m of depth for a comfortable home setup. Smaller rooms can still work with compromises like irons only or hitting off centre. For an out-of-the-box RooBox, also allow 150mm of clearance to stand the frame up.
Can you make an enclosure to fit my exact space?
Yes. The custom RooBox is made to your measurements, whether that is a lower ceiling, a narrower garage or a wider bay. Send us your width, height and depth plus any obstructions and we will quote it. Custom items take longer to produce and are excluded from change of mind returns.
How long does the enclosure take to put together?
Most customers have it up in 1 to 2 hours with a helper. Every order includes an assembly guide, cutting guide and assembly video, which you can also find on our product documents page.
Does the enclosure come with a hitting mat?
No, the RooBox does not include a hitting mat, so add one to your order. You can find them in our hitting mats and turf range.
Will the enclosure work with my launch monitor?
The enclosure itself works with any launch monitor. What matters is your room layout. Side mounted units are the most flexible, rear mounted units usually need around 2.5m behind the ball, and overhead units need a specific mounting height, so check your ceiling before buying one.
Can I set up an enclosure in my garage?
Absolutely, garages are one of the most common places we build in. Measure the clear height under the garage door track and roller motor rather than to the ceiling, check your width for follow through and sort out lighting and ventilation.
Can I replace the impact screen later?
Yes. Screens are the wear item in any simulator, so we stock replacements in standard and custom sizes. Keeping your screen tensioned flat but not drum tight is the best thing you can do for its lifespan.
How long does delivery take?
Most in stock orders dispatch within 1 to 2 business days, with an estimated delivery time of 2 to 10 business days. Enclosures travel by freight Australia wide. Custom and made to order items take longer, and the turnaround is listed on each product page.
