Carl's Place Enclosures
A Carl’s Place golf simulator enclosure — also called a Carl’s Place C-Series enclosure, DIY golf simulator enclosure kit, or Carl’s Place impact screen enclosure — is a modular black nylon enclosure frame system that creates a contained golf simulator bay by surrounding the impact screen with side walls, ceiling baffles, and rear coverage, blocking ambient light to improve projected image contrast while preventing errant shots from damaging walls, windows, and adjacent equipment. GolfSimPlanet carries three Carl’s Place enclosure lines: the DIY C-Series (entry-level, 1.5″ EMT pipe frame, six sizes from 7.7×10 ft to 9×12 ft, 5 ft standard depth only, Standard / Preferred / Premium impact screen options), the Pro C-Series (premium, 2″ EMT pipe frame, six sizes from 8×10.5 ft to 10×15.5 ft, four depth options: 5 ft / 8 ft / 10 ft / 15 ft, Premium impact screen standard, optional Pipe Framing Kit, Foam Inserts, Safety Baffles, Back Cover Kit), and the Curved Enclosure (curved side wall design, 2″ EMT pipe frame, adjustable width 144″–240″, height 102″–120″, depth 82″–240″, Premium impact screen). All three lines use steel corner fittings, ball bungees, and releasable zip ties for screen tensioning. All are compatible with Carl’s Place frame mount accessories for Uneekor EYE XO, EYE XO2, EYE MINI, and Foresight GCHawk overhead launch monitors, and with Carl’s Place simulator putting turf and HotShot hitting mat accessories.

Carl’s Place Enclosure Lines — DIY vs. Pro vs. Curved
Three distinct Carl’s Place enclosure product lines are available at GolfSimPlanet — each designed for a different budget, room configuration, and installation complexity. All three lines use the same C-Series modular fitting system; they differ in pipe diameter, available sizes and depths, screen material options, and optional add-on accessories.
Carl’s Place DIY C-Series Enclosure
Frame: 1.5″ EMT pipe (sourced locally or via optional Pipe Kit). Sizes: 7.7×10 (4:3), 7.7×13 (16:9), 8×8 (1:1), 8×10.5 (4:3), 8.5×11.5 (4:3), 9×12 (4:3). Depth: 5 ft standard only (actual footprint 67.375″ D; rear fitting backset 8.25″ minimum behind enclosure). Screen options: Standard (loosely woven heavy-duty polyester, budget-friendly), Preferred (silicone-reinforced tightly woven, smoother surface for better image quality), Premium (three-layer tight-knit impact polyester, noise-dampening core, highest image quality). Fittings: Steel corner fittings, releasable zip ties, ball bungees. Ceiling buffer: 2–3 inches minimum above enclosure height recommended. Best for: First simulator build, basement or garage with 5 ft available depth, budget-conscious installation with DIY setup.
Carl’s Place Pro C-Series Enclosure
Frame: 2″ EMT pipe (heavier gauge, higher rigidity). Sizes: 8×10.5 (4:3), 8.5×11.5 (4:3), 9×12 (4:3), 9.5×12.5 (4:3), 10×13 (4:3), 10×15.5 (16:10). Depths: 5 ft (69.5″ D), 8 ft (105.5″ D), 10 ft (129.5″ D), 15 ft (189.5″ D) — four depth configurations available, enclosure footprint extends ~1 ft behind the screen. Rear fitting backset: 9.5″ minimum behind enclosure. Screen: Premium impact screen standard (three-layer, smooth surface, noise-dampening core). Ceiling buffer: 6–7 inches recommended for easier installation. Optional add-ons: Pipe Framing Kit (pre-cut labeled 2″ EMT pipes), Foam Inserts (frame protection from errant shots), Safety Baffles (ceiling protection for high-angle shots), Back Cover Kit + Back Cover Pipe Kit (rear light block, polished finish). Best for: Premium home build, commercial simulator bay, or any installation requiring deeper enclosure configurations (8–15 ft).
Carl’s Place Curved Enclosure
Frame: 2″ EMT pipe with curved side wall geometry — eliminates the sharp 90° corner of standard C-Series frames, reducing errant ball ricochet risk and improving peripheral visual immersion. Adjustable dimensions: Width 144″–240″, Height 102″–120″, Depth 82″–240″ — the most flexible dimensional range of any Carl’s Place enclosure. Rear fitting backset: 9.5″ minimum. Screen: Premium impact screen standard. Ceiling buffer: 6–7 inches recommended. Installation: More complex than DIY or Pro C-Series — two people required, additional ceiling clearance for curved pipe bending during assembly. Best for: Large dedicated simulator rooms, commercial installations, and builds where a fully immersive curved peripheral screen wall is a design priority.

Carl’s Place Impact Screen Materials — Standard vs. Preferred vs. Premium
Screen material is the single biggest variable in projected image quality within a Carl’s Place enclosure. Three tiers are available on the DIY C-Series; Pro and Curved include Premium as standard.
Standard Screen
100% heavy-duty polyester, loosely woven surface. Most budget-friendly option. Sufficient for launch monitor practice and basic simulator use. Not recommended for high-quality projector setups where image sharpness and color accuracy are priorities.
Preferred Screen
Tightly woven fabric reinforced with silicone — smoother surface than Standard, significantly better image quality, improved durability. Recommended for mid-range projector setups (Optoma GT1090HDR, BenQ LH720) where surface texture affects image resolution.
Premium Screen
Three layers of tight-knit impact-resistant polyester with a noise-dampening core — the smoothest surface available on a full-impact material in the Carl’s Place range. Standard on Pro and Curved enclosures. Required for 4K projector setups; delivers the highest image resolution and lowest ball impact sound level of the three tiers.

Carl’s Place Enclosure FAQ
What is the difference between the DIY and Pro C-Series enclosure?
The DIY C-Series uses 1.5″ EMT pipe and is available in one depth (5 ft) with three screen material options. The Pro C-Series uses 2″ EMT pipe (heavier gauge, higher rigidity) and is available in four depth configurations (5, 8, 10, and 15 ft), six sizes up to 10×15.5 ft, and includes the Premium impact screen as standard with a full optional add-on ecosystem (Pipe Framing Kit, Foam Inserts, Safety Baffles, Back Cover Kit). The Pro is the correct choice for any build requiring more than 5 ft of enclosure depth, any build using an overhead launch monitor with a Carl’s Place frame mount, and any commercial or high-end home installation where enclosure rigidity and screen image quality are priorities.
Do I need to buy EMT pipes separately?
Yes — Carl’s Place enclosure kits include steel corner fittings, nylon enclosure fabric, impact screen, and all fasteners, but do not include the EMT pipes for the frame. You can purchase 2″ EMT (true outer diameter 2.197″ / 55.8mm) from any local hardware store and cut to the required lengths, or add the optional Pipe Framing Kit to your order — pre-cut and labeled pipes that exactly match the lengths required for your selected enclosure size and depth, eliminating the need for cutting or measurement.
What ceiling height do I need for a Carl’s Place enclosure?
Recommended minimum ceiling buffer above the enclosure frame height is 2–3 inches for DIY C-Series builds and 6–7 inches for Pro C-Series and Curved Enclosure builds (the additional clearance simplifies curved pipe installation). For a DIY 8×10.5 enclosure (overall height 100 inches), minimum ceiling height is approximately 108–109 inches (9 ft). For a Pro 9×12 enclosure (overall height 112 inches), minimum ceiling height is approximately 119–120 inches (10 ft).
Which Carl’s Place enclosure is compatible with overhead launch monitors?
Carl’s Place frame mounts for Uneekor EYE XO, EYE XO2, and EYE MINI are compatible with the Pro C-Series 2″ frame rail only — not the DIY 1.5″ frame. If you are using an overhead launch monitor (Uneekor or Foresight GCHawk), you must select the Pro C-Series or Curved enclosure and add the corresponding Carl’s Place frame mount accessory for your specific launch monitor model. Portable launch monitors (FlightScope Mevo+, Foresight GC3, SkyTrak+) position on the mat surface behind the ball and are compatible with both DIY and Pro enclosure frames.
Key Features of Our Carl's Place
Carl’s Place Enclosures — Key Specs & Selection Criteria
Four attributes determine which Carl’s Place enclosure line and size delivers the right simulator bay for your room: frame pipe diameter and rigidity, available depth configurations, impact screen material tier, and overhead launch monitor compatibility. The DIY and Pro C-Series share the same modular C-Series fitting system — they differ in pipe gauge, available sizes and depths, and the optional add-on accessory ecosystem.
Frame Rigidity & Pipe Diameter
The DIY C-Series uses 1.5″ EMT pipe (true OD 1.74″ / 44.2mm) — adequate for a 5 ft depth enclosure in a stable home installation. The Pro C-Series and Curved Enclosure use 2″ EMT pipe (true OD 2.197″ / 55.8mm) — heavier gauge, higher torsional rigidity, and the required pipe diameter for Carl’s Place frame mount accessories for Uneekor EYE XO, EYE XO2, EYE MINI, and Foresight GCHawk overhead launch monitors. Steel corner fittings (not plastic) are used across all three lines — tightened with set screws to maintain frame geometry under repeated ball impact loads. If you are using an overhead launch monitor, the Pro C-Series or Curved enclosure is required.
Available Sizes & Depth Configurations
The DIY C-Series is available in six sizes (7.7×10 to 9×12) at 5 ft depth only — suitable for rooms with a minimum 67.375″ available depth behind the screen. The Pro C-Series is available in six sizes (8×10.5 to 10×15.5) at four depth configurations: 5 ft (69.5″ D), 8 ft (105.5″ D), 10 ft (129.5″ D), and 15 ft (189.5″ D) — the 8 ft and deeper configurations allow the projector to be positioned further from the screen, reducing keystone correction and improving image quality for normal throw projectors. The Curved Enclosure offers fully adjustable dimensions: width 144″–240″, height 102″–120″, depth 82″–240″.
Impact Screen Material Tiers
Three screen material tiers are available on the DIY C-Series; Pro and Curved include Premium as standard. Standard: loosely woven heavy-duty polyester — rated for ball impacts, adequate for practice use, not recommended with high-resolution projectors. Preferred: tightly woven silicone-reinforced fabric — smoother surface for significantly better projected image quality, recommended for mid-range projector setups. Premium: three-layer tight-knit impact polyester with noise-dampening core — the smoothest surface and lowest ball impact sound level in the Carl’s Place range, required for 4K projector setups. Screen tensioning uses ball bungees and releasable zip ties around the full perimeter — maintaining consistent surface flatness under repeated impacts.
Optional Add-Ons & Accessory Ecosystem
The Pro C-Series and Curved Enclosure support a full optional add-on ecosystem not available for the DIY line: Pipe Framing Kit (pre-cut, labeled 2″ EMT pipes for your specific enclosure size — eliminates cutting and measurement), Foam Inserts (frame pipe protection from errant ball strikes), Safety Baffles (ceiling protection panels for high-angle shots that would otherwise exit the top of the enclosure), and Back Cover Kit + Back Cover Pipe Kit (rear enclosure wall for complete light blocking and finished appearance). Frame mount accessories for Uneekor EYE XO, EYE XO2, EYE MINI, and Foresight GCHawk are also Pro-only, attaching directly to the 2″ top rail without ceiling anchor points.
