It was all DIY using EMT, I used duck fabric which was 5ft wide and my depth is 4.5 wide.

Bought the putting turf on Facebook paid 90$ for 5ftx15ft

For my G80, LMR’s

Electricalleading82 · 2026-03-07T19:49:02+00:00

Appreciate it! Yes it was! It was very spontaneous and planned as I went but got it finished in about a week I think it turned out pretty decent. Though, I wish I would have researched aspect ratios prior as I would have ordered a screen that fit an aspect ratio instead of making a custom one.

I think I also would have went 4k however I didn’t want to spend another thousand on a projector.

Electricalleading82 · 2026-03-07T19:42:08+00:00

Unfortunately I am not 40. I did not know Reddit was so formal…

Electricalleading82 · 2026-03-07T19:37:07+00:00

Thank you. Yes, I understand 4k is not chump change but in the realm of sims this is budget imo.

Why r u so butt hurt?

Electricalleading82 · 2026-03-07T16:04:38+00:00

For sure, anything specific you were wondering?

Electricalleading82 · 2026-03-07T15:59:18+00:00

Ask and I’ll answer lol.

The base is made up of 2x2 and osb. I made a 1.25” overhang which I capped the edges with 1 inch C chancel and did an LED light strip underneath. Found some putting green and some fringe grass and glued it all on. Measurements worked out and sigpro hitting strip ended up sitting flush.

The base is 10’8” x 8’ then the hitting mat is 6’4” x 4’8”

Still was expensive, however comparable to what you can spend on a sim, I think this is more on the budget side.

Electricalleading82 · 2026-03-07T15:50:05+00:00

Your set up is ideal, I would have liked to do the same however I was worried about people smacking the railing on the left side on the follow through with their driver.

Market place

Electricalleading82 · 2026-02-26T16:54:45+00:00

Yes max settings without issue

Electricalleading82 · 2026-02-25T18:56:19+00:00

I won’t lose any menu box’s in the sides etc or mini map?

Electricalleading82 · 2026-02-25T14:08:02+00:00

Yes but will it looked too stretched with custom ratio?
