The MicroBay™ features a unique design that requires an absolutely minimal footprint... perfect for a small golf room. The two leg poles at the bottom extend only 3' from the back wall, while the rest of the home golf screen system extends only 2' into your room! And because the golf projector screen is recessed 2' from the rear of the structure, you can place the MicroBay™ directly against a wall, with no need for an additional space-wasting gap.
For the ultimate visual presentation add our patented SkyBridge™ Span Brackets. SkyBridge™ replaces the main screen pole with rigid UniStrut, eliminating sagging and producing the flattest golf hitting screen possible! Highly recommended for systems more than 10' wide.
Multiple options are available to help defend against stray shots. If you are concerned about ball strikes hitting the screen pole simply add our FoamDefender™ Safety Valance for added protection. This upgrade adds a 5" high x 3" wide high density triangular foam barrier, wrapped in our high tensile RipStop™ fabric across the length of the top screen pole.
Thinking about a projector mount? Please select either our TerraShield™ Projector Floor Mount, or one of our Ceiling Attached Sliding Projector Mounts (SkyRail™ or SkyRailXL™) for use with this product. The MicroBay™ does not support our cage mounted SkyRailPLUS™.

Since golf hitting screens are fabric products, they will naturally wear over time. Factors such as swing speed, ball type, hitting position, and frequency of use will each affect the life of the screen. Many customers are able to get years of service out of our golf screens, while some may need to replace their screen sooner.
To extend the life of your golf impact screen we recommend using a baffle net, increasing the hitting distance, and using only newer "unscuffed" golf balls. The use of lighter weight products such as "Almost" Golf Balls (1/3 weight) can also significantly extend the life of your golf screen, although the shot distances will typically be shorter than when using real golf balls.
Yes, in many cases our enclosures have a viewport that matches perfectly or near perfectly one of the three common aspect ratios commonly available on projectors. See the chart below showing the best image fit for each of our hitting enclosures.
The viewport refers to the white portion of the screen that is visible after installation. We give careful consideration to the size of our golf hitting enclosures and the resulting viewport of your screen. Enclosures designed by AllSportSystems maintain a balance between a good image fit and enclosure size. For best overall function, safety and swing clearance an enclosure height of 9ft or more is recommended. When a space is less than 9ft we suggest an enclosure no lower than 8ft tall.
In general projectors will have a native aspect ratio of 4:3, 16:9 or 16:10. Aspect ratio is a means of expressing the ratio of width to height of the image in terms of pixels. A typical 4:3 resolution is 1024x768 where as a typical HD resolution is 1920x1080 (16:9) or 1280x800 (16:10). For the best image quality, we recommend using the native resolution of your projector where possible. All golf hitting enclosures from AllSportSystems can be customized to any height, width or depth. Do not hesitate to reach out with any questions about customizing your enclosure.
Each projector model will have a specific throw ratio. A throw ratio is an expression of image width in feet divided by distance from the screen in feet. For example a projector with a 0.5 throw ratio can produce a 10ft wide image from 5 feet. For Golf simulation we recommend short throw projectors with a throw ratio of 0.5 to 0.7 as they place the projector close enough to the screen so that the golfer will not block the image. We have listed on the chart below the throw distance for the Short-throw HD 16:9 1080x1024 3800 lumen projector we offer. This projector has a 0.5 throw ratio in the native HD 16:9 aspect and a 0.66 throw ratio in the standard definition 4:3 aspect.
Throw distance from the screen can be calulated for other projectors using online projector throw calculators for your projector model.
All of our golf enclosures are listed according to the outside dimensions of the frame. This guarantees your enclosure will comfortably fit within the space you have designated for your simulator. When deciding what size enclosure to order note that the side and top netting extensions require at least 12″ clearance from walls, ceilings, or other objects.
Screen size and viewport of the screen varies by product. The viewport refers to the white portion of the screen that is visible after installation. See the chart below showing viewport and recommended image aspect for the MicroBay™, SuperBay™, DIY Bay™ and StudioBay™ golf simulator enclosures.
