SwingBay Golf Simulator Screen and Enclosure

Build a dependable golf simulator bay without turning your garage or basement into a construction project. The SwingBay Golf Simulator Screen & Enclosure delivers a complete, purpose-built hitting environment that looks finished and performs like a serious training space. It pairs a heavy-duty impact screen with a full-frame enclosure, blackout surround, and integrated side protection. You get structure, safety, and a clean projection surface in one coordinated system. 

SwingBay exists to remove the usual simulator pain points. Many home setups start as a mix of parts that never truly fit together. Nets sag. Screens wrinkle. Frames wobble. Light leaks in from the sides and washes out the image. SwingBay addresses these problems with a unified design that is built to assemble quickly and stay stable. Rain or Shine Golf developed it using feedback from hundreds of simulator customers, so the enclosure targets the issues that show up after week one, not just on day one. 

The enclosure starts with an easy, push-button aluminum framing system. You connect sections with quick-connect technology instead of fighting with complicated hardware. The brand positions it as a fast DIY build, with assembly commonly cited in under 20 minutes and as little as 10 minutes in the product overview sections. That speed matters when you want to set up in a shared space, or when you plan to move the bay seasonally. The powder-coated finish also helps the frame keep a sleek look while standing up to regular use. 

At the center of the system sits the impact screen. SwingBay uses a high-density woven polyester screen described as “ballistics grade.” The screen targets a crisp, bright image so your projector can fill the full hitting area without distracting hot spots or dull patches. It also targets longevity. The product page states the screen is engineered to withstand thousands of shots and ball speeds up to 250 mph. That rating gives confidence when you hit a driver indoors and want the bay to feel secure. 

You can also tune the experience to your space and preferences. SwingBay offers two enclosure size configurations. Choose the 8′ x 10.5′ footprint for a more compact room while still maintaining a full simulator feel. Choose the 9′ x 12′ footprint for a larger visual canvas and a more open hitting environment. Both sizes keep a similar depth profile, which helps you fit the bay into common garage and basement layouts.

The screen material choice further customizes performance. Select the single-layer screen option when you prioritize increased durability. Select the triple-layer premium option when you want a quieter strike and reduced bounceback behavior. This is a practical choice, not just a spec. Noise and rebound shape the realism of indoor practice. A quieter impact makes longer sessions easier, especially in attached garages or homes with shared walls. Less bounceback reduces the need to “chase” balls and lowers the chance of unpredictable returns. 

SwingBay also protects you from the misses that happen when you practice with intent. The enclosure includes built-in side netting protection and frame padding components. The side netting design helps catch pushes and pulls that would otherwise contact a wall, a shelf, or a car bumper in a garage bay. The padding helps soften frame contact risk and improves the finished look of the structure. The system also uses integrated Velcro assembly points, which help keep panels aligned and simplify setup. 

The blackout enclosure material supports better projection and a more immersive image. Light control matters as much as screen quality. When you block side glare, you improve contrast and reduce distraction in your peripheral vision. That makes the simulator feel closer to a dedicated studio environment. It also helps your projector deliver a brighter-looking picture without requiring excessive brightness settings. 

SwingBay stays flexible on technology. The enclosure is compatible with any launch monitor and designed to work with all gameplay software. That means you can build the physical bay once and choose your preferred tracking device and sim platform without redesigning the room. It is a long-term approach. You can start simple and upgrade your launch monitor later. The enclosure stays relevant through those changes.
