I needed a golf simulator I could fold away so I could still use the garage in winter. Let me know if you have any questions about the build!

Simulator & Software: Flight Scope Mevo + (https://flightscope.com/products/flig..., GSPro Software for playing courses, Flight Scope software for training and drills.
Laptop: HP OMEN I5 4050 16.1"(2023) - had the required capability to run GSPro and 50% off at Best Buy.
Screen Frame: 12x9 Frame with 3 inches extra for screen, Foam (https://a.co/d/glJeRjj) cut to 2-3 inches and attached to frame using zip ties. Frame attached to concrete floor using Tapcon 3/8-in x 4-in Concrete Screws Anchors. Also attached to back wall and ceiling for stability.
Screen: Carl's Place 12x9 Premium with Flaps (https://shop.carlofet.com/golf-impact.... There is about 18 inches to the wall behind. Flaps attached to netting using Velcro (https://a.co/d/bLjtCCq). Screen attached to frame using Carl's Place 6-inch Black Ball Bungees and Hillman 1-1/2-in W x 1-1/2-in H x 8-ft L Zinc-Plated Steel Perforated-Slotted Angle (Lowes).
Netting: Net (https://a.co/d/dShRHwp), Curtain Rail - 8ft (https://a.co/d/65CyDUR)
Main Platform - 12x10: 4x2 with 3/4 Plywood, 1 inch gym mats (https://a.co/d/65SdBeF), Turf - 12x15 (https://a.co/d/66xJAyW), nail gun used to secure mat and turf to ply, Platform attached to screen frame using hinges (https://a.co/d/6ibAq23).
Hitting Platform: 5x12: Same as main platform but gym mat and turf cut to fit in hitting Mat: 4x9 (https://shop.carlofet.com/golf-hittin..., wheels x4 (https://a.co/d/6fGTjER). I have added another platform (12 inches wide x 8ft long) behind the hitting platform to sit the simulator on to keep a level area from simulator to hitting zone for better accuracy.
Winch System: (https://www.grainger.com/product/WARN...) Attached to eye bolts (Lowes - National Hardware 1/2-in x 6-in Galvanized Interior/Exterior Coarse Thread Eye Bolt - 2,200lbs SWL). I would recommend something more like this if I were to do it again: (https://www.grainger.com/product/STRO....
Projector: BenQ TH690ST 4LED Short Throw Gaming Projector (https://a.co/d/j1iPP2s), Ceiling Mount (https://a.co/d/c6Xbsnk). I would get a long throw projector if I did it again to move it further back from hitting area.
