Ceiling Height Guide

Ceiling height is the #1 limitation for most home setups.

Driver Swings

9-10 ft

Full driver swings require maximum ceiling clearance.

Iron Swings

8.5-9 ft

Shorter clubs need less overhead room.

Watch for Garage Door Clearance

Watch for garage door tracks and openers that reduce usable height.

Check Track & Opener Interference

Horizontal tracks can interfere with enclosure frames and screen placement.

Lighting

Avoid placing screens in direct lighting paths for better projector visibility.

Projector Placement

Short-throw projectors work best in garages with limited depth.
