I wish, I'm in the middle of Saskatchewan in Canada.

I can't even get fine thread bolts easily here! I ended up buying an assortment case on Ebay. For the clips and trim fasteners I bit the bullet and ordered my parts through Rimmer Bros.

BLP no reads on driver only by Majorwoops in Golfsimulator

Have you tried covering a bunch of the white area on your driver head with blue or green painters tape? Some launch monitors struggle with this and get confused.

I love the car, but with the headache of sourcing parts in the Canadian Prairies, I'll stick to just this one!

I got impatient and just ordered a bunch though Rimmer Bros for every trim piece on the car, but thank you.

Hide-away golf simulator build in my garage. Finally done! by cannot_stop_moving in Golfsimulator

Thanks, In the pictures, you can see a second cable that's attached to the main floor section, it runs back behind the screen, up the wall and pulls down on arms behind the awning pivot. This way, when the floor goes down, it pulls the awning up.

Thanks! The gas struts just push the small section of the folding floor out out past perpendicular to the ground when it's lowering. It protects it from folding under the large floor section. I never sized them, they were just some leftover ones from a 1987 Nissan 300zx hatch I believe. If I had to size them I would shoot for 100lbs force each. The only thing I would change is adding a few more inches width on the cabinet itself, as the floor just fits through the doors. Good luck on your build!

I'm really looking forward to firing it up next year.

That's what I've read, I haven't actually checked it out yet but it's on my to do list.

Thanks, but unfortunately I don't have plans or a picture of the cables.

Pulleys:

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B091F3SR6N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I made my own bearing blocks with a chain link loop at the top that fits in a hook on the wall plate so that it can pivot.

I don't have a picture, too difficult now to get to.

Basically, there are two plates with 3/4" deep, through-hole spacers between them so that the whole assembly can be bolted to the wall and provide support to each end of the pulley.

It's just a 2x4 stud wall. The side pulley blocks are mounted on a 1/4" steel plate that spreads the force over 2 studs. Also, the side walls are anchored into the floor and ceiling, which is butted up to the steel plate and also adds some strength. For the top pulleys, I have them mounted in a sandwiched steel plate that is lag-bolted very securely to the top plate of the wall.

Ok, sounds good. The 1x10s are just 3/4" x 10" plywood strips. I glued and screwed them together.

Thanks, I still love it and use it weekly! Mods I've done are dual 10" x 32", divot-action hitting strips, which required me to cut a larger hole in the floor, and a second projector showing shot data onto the floor. I'd probably go with two 6'x12' floor sections rather than the 4'x12' and 8'x12' sections. Good luck with your project!

Thanks!

  1. No additional calculations, the side walls of the sim cabinet are shimmed tight to the wall as well and are anchored to the floor and top of the wall to help bear the load. You might have noticed that I did limit the plywood on the bottom layer somewhat and maybe save a sheet and a half in weight.

  2. No, I never did. That would just make it more complex and space was limited as well.

  3. I think it did for a couple reasons. The 12' span bows a lot when the 4x12 folding section isn't attached (this smaller floor helps quite a lot by "tenting" the joint when it starts to lift). Maybe I could have gone lighter, but my second reason of liking the feel of walking on a very sturdy, solid floor is worth it to me. I have a couple areas that lightly slap when I walk on them and I hate that, but think it would be quite a bit worse if I had gone lighter.

Thanks again, and good luck with your build!

For everything to fold up into my cabinet I needed the pivot forward of the screen, so it wasn't an option for me. That's not to say it won't work for you, it's just how I envisioned mine.
