Dude. This is exactly what I have envisioned for building myself one day. This is awesome! Very few videos online that show something purpose built for a SIM, let alone built for a reasonable budget. Thank you for posting this!!
Awesome job and video. I’m currently building one similar and quite the experience. Roof goes on this weekend. Love the way your enclosure came out! I’ve been going back and forth on different versions and yours is by far the cleanest. Great idea with the middle stripe in the hitting screen. Keep the videos going. (I know I’d love to see how you did cable management.) thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much! The build took a lot longer than I originally thought it would. But so worth it when done. And yeah I could do a video on cable management. Be on the lookout
@@thunder.pumpgolf_andfitness ha. I built that course in gspro. Have played it once IRL. I built Top of the Rock and have Prairie Dunes in progress as well. I lived in OP/Lenexa for 17 years.
Excellent project I am about to go on the same journey. I am planning to move into my other house that already has a nice sized workshop in the back yard. About 25X25.
Love the set up! Can you show how easy or difficult it is to play a righty vs lefty with the Bushnell launch pro? I want to do the same, but haven’t seen any videos of this
Thanks! And it’s not super convenient to play righty and lefty. But it can be done. Maybe I’ll make a video because there is a way to do it without moving it.
@@thunder.pumpgolf_andfitness You've got a great swing. I hope to have something close someday. I'm guessing you are consistently under 80. I have my simulator in my basement. SkyTrak and TGC 2019 (which I LOVE, especially since upgrading my graphics card... just ridiculous). I just upgraded to a super bright laser 4k projector too...WOW.
Anything you wish you would have changed or added? I’m currently getting ready to build, can’t decide on whether to go bigger or specifically just for the golf simulator. Got a building with these exact dimensions ready to be built but wondered if I should go bigger? Love this sim you built!
Well, there are a couple things that I did to future proof the build but I forgot to mention them in the video. I ran USB to the back and sides of the building to my computer area, in case I ever did some type of camera set up. I put in an extra outlet in the ceiling just in case I ever upgraded to a ceiling mounted launch monitor and ran ethernet cable up there. Just make sure you plan out where all the cables are going, run anything that you think you might use in the future. Another thing is when I ran my HDMI cable to the projector. I did so in 1 inch tubing, with access points on each end. I did this, just in case a cable ever failed, so I could re-run it through the wall and ceiling just by pulling it out with the old hdmi. But if I could redo it, I would at least do a 24 x 16 building so I could have a seating area. Or even all my workout equipment. I am gonna put a little more thought into it though and get back to you if I think of anything else.
Looks amazing! Couple questions.. 1. Did you use plans for your shed or buy them? Can you share more details around the actual design/dimensions. 2. Did you pour the concrete or bring that in?
Looks great, well done. One Question - before you put the wall panelling on did you install sound insulation? Reason I’m asking is that later at night the sound of each shot could be easier heard outside. I notice your neighbours are a reasonable distance from the shed so might not be an issue for you.
Thanks! That’s why I wanted to share, I thought it was a very reasonable to build. My concrete was 12 inch footings, with 4 inch concrete in the middle. I got it in 2020 for 2500.
@@edwardanderson8756 I attached walls straight to the concrete. Just make sure you use a foam expansion joint in between wood and concrete. And I put carpet squares directly in the concrete.
I love the retractable screen protector thing. However , wouldn’t the balls hitting the protector and behind it , create friction and ultimately a hole ? Also , did you put up the structure yourself too?
Thanks! They are both golf simulator screens, designed for friction. I haven’t noticed any wear on the other screen. And yes, I put up that structure too.
Awesome shed and build. I have a basic setup in the garage - I'm just renting right now so I need something temporary. This is what I ultimately want! What are the dimensions of the room and ceiling heights?
Thanks bud!! Building is 20’x16’. Ceiling is 12’ single slope to 10’. Plenty of room for left and right handed players. If you were wanting room for more seating, I would advise making it 24 x 16.
So awesome. Planing on building my own and this will help with ideas. Did you foam insulate the walls or use any insulation? Also what about running 120v. Did you do that or hire someone. If so how much for trench and dedicated run?
I used r13 insulation, I doubled in the ceilings, I taped all the edges. It’s very well insulated. I ran 220v to the shed. I dug the trench myself with shovel. It was a 18 ft run so wasn’t too bad. I did have Electrion run wire from basement panel to sub panel. Cost for that was 1,000.
Very nice setup and one hell of a mancave. What did the slab cost you? You mentioned 40k shots so far and I’m assuming another 10k+ since the video. Have you had to replace the added impact screen? Good luck on RUclips.
Thanks!! Slab cost 2500. Closer to 60k shots, still no hole in one haha. I haven’t replaced it. Some small wear to it but gonna flip upside down when gets worse.
keep at it bud, youtube is hard. Sim Shed is awesome. been thinking about putting up a video of mine (not near as nice, but even more budget than yours!). Just gotta wait 4 years for one of the kids to move out so i can move mine inside and do it nice, lol.
Did you do all of the labor including electrical and the actual building of the structure? Are all of the prices at the end just the costs of the material or does that include any labor costs as well? Excellent job and I’ll 100% be using this as a template for mine!
Thanks! I really appreciate it. I did all of the labor and electrical myself so the prices at the end were just material because I did the labor. The only cost that I didn’t add in was the cost of the concrete pad. The concrete pad cost $2500. I plan on making another video breaking down actually how I built it and what went into that process.
When I hit my wedges full, they do not come close to hitting the top of the screen, where I hit from is 7.5 foot away from the screen. And my screen is 9 foot tall. The only way the ceiling has been hit when someone has skied a driver. That is why I put a cushion pad on the ceiling in the middle of the screen. Honestly, the only thing I would have done different, if I could have. I would’ve made it 24 x 16 to have a little more space for seating because I’m a lefty and my friends are righties. It makes a little bit more difficult but if I had 24 ft I’d have a lot more space. Also, if I had the money, I would have preferred a ceiling mounted launch monitor. That way I wouldn’t have to move it back-and-forth but for me those were just way too expensive.
Sweet room man but it looks tight from where you hit to the back wall. Is that the case or is it just the camera angle. Regardless, it’s way nicer than my garage. Sweet swing too even tho lefties are not to be trusted 😂
Thanks, bud! I have about 3 feet of clearance from the tip of my driver to the wall on my backswing. It doesn’t feel tight at all and you’re right about lefties, haha!
Concrete was 2500, I don’t have cad or true specs. Just basically had a 16x20 poured and designed a simple structure around that. 12ft front wall and 10ft rear wall. Single pitch roof, 2x12 rafters. And just researched each step of the project as I went
@@thunder.pumpgolf_andfitness now I have to go back and pause where you the product or had a caption so I can write it down - you’re keeping old school alive
How much did the shed cost to build before finishing the I side? I’m looking at an 18x22 shed, hoping that will give more room for seating and having a bar area. Do you find 16’ deep is plenty of depth? Wondering if I should go shallower and longer than 18x22
Cost of the just building without anything done to the inside around 6k. The concrete slab was 2500. I would recommend 16 or 18 deep by at least 24 wide. But I would place the impact screen on the 16/18 side. It would give more room for seating and bar behind hitting area. Something to think about if you have 24 feet of space you lose 1 foot behind the hitting screen then you need at least 7 to 8 foot from where you hit the ball to the screen. Then you need 4 foot behind the hitter so right there is 12 to 14 feet of space minimum. Then from there just depends on how much room would feel comfortable behind the hitter.
@@thunder.pumpgolf_andfitness what state are you located in? My next obstacle is dealing with the HOA and city. Also, do you have any issues with noise from the neighbors? Mine will be spray foam insulation so hoping that prevents too much noise.
@@cgwashb I’m in Missouri. I don’t have an HOA, so that made it easier. It is very quiet on the outside of the building. You can really only hear the driver but once you’re 20-30ft away it’s hard to hear at all. I’ve never had an issues or compliants with the neighbors.
Not sure how I got here, but great set up. It needs some personalisation badly very clinical in there. Get some flags from your favourite courses or some posters or whatever you like. Also needs a bar fridge in there ;) Just my opinion. Good luck on the YT grind!
this is awesome. I want to build this exact same thing in my backyard. A few questions: 1. Did you have to get any permitting done through the city? 2. Are the neighbors mad? LOL
Thanks!! 1)yes, it was pretty easy process. As long as you stick to your city code. 2)no, I talked to them before I built it. Plus I tried to design it as nice as possible. And if your talking about the noise, a driver can hardly be heard from the outside. I went alittle overboard with the insulation. It was a lot of fun to build, you should definitely build one!
Thanks for sharing this. Excellent work as I’m researching to build something similar. Are you subscribed to Basic (Bushnell) with GSPro? Also, where did you find the shed plans with cut list, etc?
Yes 1080p, I think looks great. Yeah, the optoma gtr1080hdr is great. And it’s a short throw projector so it doesn’t need to be back from the screen very far.
Wow! I love that building. Did you have any experience before starting that structure build? Mind if I ask what the total cost of just the building was? Love it!
Thanks! Not very much experience, just little stuff around the house. I just researched a ton and watched a lot of RUclips videos! Total cost was at the end of video but was around 16k
Yeah, I still struggle with a driver indoors, my space has 11 foot of height where you’re swinging so it doesn’t feel confined at all. Just a weird feeling with a driver.
I did a cost breakdown at the end of the video. The shed part and simulator part cost separately. I’m going to do some separate videos of more of a breakdown and separate costs of everything.
have you ever taken the launch pro to the driving range? does it have to be connected to wifi just to use it out there and get numbers on the built in screen?@@thunder.pumpgolf_andfitness
Wow! Great setup! And the cost really is doable for folks. Trackman and Foresight top sims cost that much or more. You got a whole building for the price! Amazing job, really man. And I'm looking for some golf fitness stuff too, so you got a subcriber here. My shoulders and lower back dont always feel all that great after a long range session. Looking forward to your content.
This is really incredible and you’ve saved tons of money doing this all yourself! My simulator is in my garage and I’ve added things bit by bit. I have an R10 currently as I’m newer to golf and didn’t wanna spend more money if I wasn’t going to like it. Well I’m hooked and will be getting the Skytrak+ once GS Pro can fully work with it. Then I’ll get a gaming pc or laptop. I really like what you’ve done with the cushions and saving money that way! You’re a genius sir, well done! You’ve given me even more ideas on saving money on hitting mat because I was just going to fork up the 2 grand on that fiberbuilt mat you spoke of. Seeing as I could make one myself with just the fiberbuilt strip, I’ll do just that so thank you for that. Sorry for the long winded message. Godspeed to you sir in your golf career. A well earned subscription from me🏌🏽
Yes!!!☝🏼this comment right here!!! This is what I was hoping for, so happy you got some ideas from this video. Once you get that skytrak+ and gspro, look into the sgt(simulator golf tour). You can play in tournaments against fellow golfers all year long. I’ll post another video and actually show all the layers of the hitting/stance mat. And how I went about building it. Good luck with the simulator upgrade and thanks for the sub!
@@thunder.pumpgolf_andfitness roger that sir. My neighbor two doors down has the first Skytrak and plays SGT on GS Pro. That’s what got me into golf and sim golf. Im not very good at golf by any means I just enjoy the challenge of it all. I think I’ll just keep adding onto my sim in my garage before I build a golf sim in my backyard like you have done. Seeing it can be done for under 16K really peeks my interest. I can’t wait to watch more of your videos. I’ve played Payne’s Valley on GS Pro at my neighbors house. Very nice course. Also played Michael Jordan’s course. I laughed because they have the drones flying all over how they do in real life. Check that course out if you haven’t already, it’s a trip🤣
@@Blackcloud319 golf is by far the hardest sport I’ve played, maybe not as much physically but mentally. Keep grinding away and slowly get better. Also, I’m downloading Jordan’s course now and will check it out!
@@thunder.pumpgolf_andfitness yes sir! I love the mental challenge. I compare golf to chess. It’s easy to learn, but it takes a lifetime to master. I started to write Bruce Lee quotes on my golf balls recently just to keep my mind at ease while on the courses. “Don’t think, feel.” Is just one of the quotes I put on my balls(AYO)😏 Enjoy Slaughter House 23 as Rickie Fowler put it🤣
Dude. This is exactly what I have envisioned for building myself one day. This is awesome! Very few videos online that show something purpose built for a SIM, let alone built for a reasonable budget. Thank you for posting this!!

Around 12k with concrete pad
Thanks for the reply. Would you happen to have plans as well? I'm going to build the same one!
Did you happen to soundproof the shed? If not, is it loud outside of the structure?
Where did you get the middle hitting screen saver?
One stop sim shop
Thanks for sharing this. Excellent work as I’m researching to build something similar. Are you subscribed to Basic (Bushnell) with GSPro? Also, where did you find the shed plans with cut list, etc?
Thanks you very much!! I have gold with the gspro subscription. I came up with the plans myself.
@@thunder.pumpgolf_andfitness Would you be willing to share or sell your plans?
So. No need spending a ton on a 4 k projector …. 1080 p. Looks great. The Optoma You recommend? Thz
Yes 1080p, I think looks great. Yeah, the optoma gtr1080hdr is great. And it’s a short throw projector so it doesn’t need to be back from the screen very far.
Dude, this thing is amazing! How long did it take you to build it?
Thanks a lot! It took alittle over a year to finish. Super fun to build and learned a ton.
How far from
The screen are you hitting the ball?
7.5 ft
Did you video the building of your sim shed? Would you share a parts list/schematic of what you did?
I didn’t video it, but I took a lot of pictures. I plan to do a video explaining what I did using the pictures.
@@thunder.pumpgolf_andfitness , what stand did yo use for the LVPRO2 and the Fire Tablet?
Where can I get a building like that?
Haha, build one!!!
How far is the ball from the screen?
7.5 ft
Wow! I love that building. Did you have any experience before starting that structure build? Mind if I ask what the total cost of just the building was? Love it!
Thanks! Not very much experience, just little stuff around the house. I just researched a ton and watched a lot of RUclips videos! Total cost was at the end of video but was around 16k
@@thunder.pumpgolf_andfitness would it be possible to contact you?
Unless the ceiling is crazy high I can't swing proper indoors. It just feels like I'm going to hit it and it shrinks and hinders my follow through.
Yeah, I still struggle with a driver indoors, my space has 11 foot of height where you’re swinging so it doesn’t feel confined at all. Just a weird feeling with a driver.
Where do I submit application for friendship?
Haha
Do you live in a climate where it needs to be heated in the winter? If so how do you heat it?
Yeah I’m in Missouri. I have a mini split installed, which does a/c and doubles as a heat pump in the winter
Hi mate how much did it all cost and where from?
For the golf stuff not the shed
I did a cost breakdown at the end of the video. The shed part and simulator part cost separately. I’m going to do some separate videos of more of a breakdown and separate costs of everything.
Cost of the shed build?
The cost is at the very end, it’s around 16
Do you have a concrete foundation? If so, how much did that cost?
I do have concrete foundation, that cost 2600
Wow!
Oh yeah! Thanks!!!!
It’s perfect! I’m jealous. Such a great setup, nicely done 🍻
How much would a gaming PC cost that I can use with the Bushnell launch pro? Thanks
You can get a solid pc sub 1000. Just make sure is has a GeForce rtx3060 minimum
Thanks!
have you ever taken the launch pro to the driving range? does it have to be connected to wifi just to use it out there and get numbers on the built in screen?@@thunder.pumpgolf_andfitness
have you heard of Carls Place ? they have the easiest custom setups available
Yes, I have heard of them. I wanted a more custom/built in look for my space
Wow! Great setup! And the cost really is doable for folks. Trackman and Foresight top sims cost that much or more. You got a whole building for the price!
Amazing job, really man. And I'm looking for some golf fitness stuff too, so you got a subcriber here. My shoulders and lower back dont always feel all that great after a long range session. Looking forward to your content.
Awesome! And thanks a lot! It is very “affordable” for what it is. I glad you enjoyed the video.
Jjkkpxm!
Nice. That is what I want to build. Battling asinine city. I have 2/3 acre and giving me hell.
Thanks! And yeah that gotta be frustrating
Nice!
Thanks!
where you based out of?
Close to Kansas City, mo
@@thunder.pumpgolf_andfitnessill fly in if you use that as an air bnb for some golf content. I need to golf that state.
Bad ass
Oh yeah! Thanks!
amazing job and a awesome setup for under $16,000. I’ll give you $16;500 to do mine🤣
Haha, terrible deal!
What size is this?
20 ft wide x 16 ft deep
Dang you got me hyped NOW!!! you had a Joe Biden moment at the end huh? 🤣Well done though
Haha, I guess I did! That’s pretty funny.
This is really incredible and you’ve saved tons of money doing this all yourself! My simulator is in my garage and I’ve added things bit by bit. I have an R10 currently as I’m newer to golf and didn’t wanna spend more money if I wasn’t going to like it. Well I’m hooked and will be getting the Skytrak+ once GS Pro can fully work with it. Then I’ll get a gaming pc or laptop. I really like what you’ve done with the cushions and saving money that way! You’re a genius sir, well done! You’ve given me even more ideas on saving money on hitting mat because I was just going to fork up the 2 grand on that fiberbuilt mat you spoke of. Seeing as I could make one myself with just the fiberbuilt strip, I’ll do just that so thank you for that. Sorry for the long winded message. Godspeed to you sir in your golf career. A well earned subscription from me🏌🏽
Yes!!!☝🏼this comment right here!!! This is what I was hoping for, so happy you got some ideas from this video. Once you get that skytrak+ and gspro, look into the sgt(simulator golf tour). You can play in tournaments against fellow golfers all year long. I’ll post another video and actually show all the layers of the hitting/stance mat. And how I went about building it. Good luck with the simulator upgrade and thanks for the sub!
@@thunder.pumpgolf_andfitness roger that sir. My neighbor two doors down has the first Skytrak and plays SGT on GS Pro. That’s what got me into golf and sim golf. Im not very good at golf by any means I just enjoy the challenge of it all. I think I’ll just keep adding onto my sim in my garage before I build a golf sim in my backyard like you have done. Seeing it can be done for under 16K really peeks my interest. I can’t wait to watch more of your videos. I’ve played Payne’s Valley on GS Pro at my neighbors house. Very nice course. Also played Michael Jordan’s course. I laughed because they have the drones flying all over how they do in real life. Check that course out if you haven’t already, it’s a trip🤣
@@Blackcloud319 golf is by far the hardest sport I’ve played, maybe not as much physically but mentally. Keep grinding away and slowly get better. Also, I’m downloading Jordan’s course now and will check it out!
@@thunder.pumpgolf_andfitness yes sir! I love the mental challenge. I compare golf to chess. It’s easy to learn, but it takes a lifetime to master. I started to write Bruce Lee quotes on my golf balls recently just to keep my mind at ease while on the courses. “Don’t think, feel.” Is just one of the quotes I put on my balls(AYO)😏
Enjoy Slaughter House 23 as Rickie Fowler put it🤣
