Assemble Frame
Using the Frame Assembly Sheet included in this manual, construct your
frame.
If you bought a pipe kit from Carl’s Place, simply insert the pipes fully into
the connectors and tighten with 6mm Hex. If you did not buy a pipe kit
from Carl’s Place, you must source your own pipes, cut to the specifications
shown on the Frame Assembly Sheet.
If you bought a back cover for your enclosure, you’ll receive further instruc-
tions on incorporating that into your frame assembly. If you did not, you will
not use the small nubs to the rear of the enclosure.
Start by putting together the bottom base of the frame. If necessary, use
a rubber mallet to completely insert the pipes into the fittings. Then, work
bottom to top, back to front.

Attach Ceiling Panel
The ceiling is the panel without any sewn sleeves on the sides.
Orient the ceiling
panel so that the
front flap is on the
underside of the
panel, facing down.
Using Ball Bungees and Zip Ties
Throughout the installation, you will use
ball bungees and zip ties to attach panels
and the screen to the frame.
For bungees:
1. Insert the loop end of the bungee into
a grommet.
2. Thread it through until the ball stops it.
3. Wrap the loop end around the pipe.
4. Hook it over the ball to secure.
For zip ties:
1. Wrap tie around frame and secure tie
end into head.
2. Push tab to loosen, if necessary.

Only at the four corners use ball bun-
gees to attach the ceiling to the frame.
Use two bungees in each corner grom-
met (one in each direction).
With the panel attached in
the corners, and centered,
switch to using zip ties.
Insert a zip tie through each
grommet and gently secure
it around the pipe. Tighten
only enough to keep the
gap between the ceiling
panel and pipe even.
Uneven gap? If you overtightened,
push down on the zip tie tab to
loosen the zip tie.

Alternative Design: Split Panel Ceiling
If your golf enclosure has a split
panel ceiling design, follow these
color-coded directions to install.
Each of the panels is designated
by a colored tab. Orient the
colored tab to the rear of the
enclosure, with the loop fasten-
ers facing down and in.
1. Green – rear ceil-
ing panel nearest
impact screen (has
no flaps)
2. Yellow – front ceil-
ing panel (has flaps
on two sides)
3. Red – right-hand
wall (as you face the
screen)
4. Blue – le-hand
wall (as you face the
screen)
Connect the flaps in
the center of the ceiling
panel using the hook
and loop fasteners.

Optional: For a more professional look, rotate the head of the zip tie to the
back and top of the enclosure. You’ll minimize any bumps under the flaps.
You can also cut the tails o the zip ties at this time.
Attach Ceiling Panel Flaps
Starting at the
corners, fold the
attached flap over
the front of the
frame.
Attach it to the top
of the ceiling panel
using the integrated
hook-and-loop strips.

Install (Optional) Baes
If you did not purchase baes, skip this step.
Baes attach to the top of the frame. Insert a bungee through the loop of
cord on the bae and attach the bungee around the frame.
Baes can be spaced at any preferred distance away from the screen. 1 -
1.5  apart is common.
Hang the baes with the matte side facing the front of the enclosure and
stretch them to the top of the frame using one bungee on each side.
Zip-ties can be used to apply extra tension if needed.
Install (Optional) Electronics Mount
If you’ve purchased mount hardware accessories, follow the instructions
included with those before proceeding.

Attach Wall Panels
The wall panels are marked with colored tabs. The red colored tab marks the
panel for the right wall (as you face the screen). The blue colored tab marks
the le wall. Pictured example shows the right wall panel.
Before attaching the wall panels, orient the panels so that:
1. The sleeved edges are closest to the bottom and front pipes
2. The grommeted edge is closest to the rear pipe
3. The edge with flaps and grommets can be lied to top of the frame
Check for burs - you don’t want to rip the enclosure material on any sharp
ends of the pipes.

Pro Enclosure Kit C-Series Assembly Manual - V07
To attach the wall panel, you need to slide both sleeved wall panel edges
onto the pipe frame, one at a time.
Warning. This next part is tricky, but it will all be worth it. Once installed
you’ll get a smooth black corner on your enclosure,
First, un-install the “L” fitting at the
bottom front of the frame.
Slide the bottom sleeved edge of
the wall panel onto the bottom
pipe.
Place a block of wood under the frame
to prop it up while sliding the sleeve on.

Then, slide the front sleeved edge of
the wall panel upward onto the front
vertical pipe.
Once the wall panel material is over
both the bottom and front pipes,
re-install the “L” fitting.
Tighten the connector, then attach
the hook-and-loop fasteners that
wrap around corner.
Once the “L” fitting is
reinstalled, slide the front
sleeve to the top of the
frame and secure with
one zip tie.
Stretch the bottom
sleeve to the back of the
frame.

Pro Enclosure Kit C-Series Assembly Manual - V07
Tightly secure the back corner to
the frame using two zip ties (one
connecting in each direction.)
Continue securing the wall
panel by loosely looping a zip tie
through each grommet around the
top pipe. Check the fit. Tighten or
loosen zip ties to obtain a straight,
even gap between the panel and
the pipe.
Smooth the fabric on the front pipe upward. Then tighten the zip tie for a
smooth front edge.

Repeat by installing the second wall panel.
Attach Wall Panel Flaps
It is important to attach the
wall panels flaps in the right
order.
First, from inside the enclo-
sure, secure the wall panel
flaps to the ceiling panel
using the hook-and-loop
fasteners.
Next, stretch and smooth
down the corners of the flaps
around the front corner of the
frame.
When attaching the flaps start at the front of the enclosure and work back.

Lastly, from the outside of
the enclosure, wrap the wall
panel flap around the frame
and attach it to the top of the
ceiling panel.
Check the fit. If you need to
make adjustments to achieve
a smooth corner, do so now.

Attach the Impact Screen
Orient the impact screen with the Carl’s Place logo in the top le.
Attach the impact screen to
the frame, beginning with 2
ball bungees in each of the
top corners. Face the ball of
the bungee to the back.
Simplified to show detail. Actual impact screen has flaps.

Pro Enclosure Kit C-Series Assembly Manual - V07
Next, you’ll attach the bottom of the impact screen using the cable. The
cable is pre-threaded through the bottom sleeve of the impact screen.
On one of the rear corner
fittings, locate the small hole
at the base of the fitting.
On one side, insert the cable
through the fitting. Secure
the cable with 4 turns of the
cable receiver. Repeat on the
other side.
You may need to loosen the first
receiver if you can’t get the second
receiver threaded.
Continue tightening each
end of the cable, until the
cable is taut. Use a pliers to
hold the cable and prevent
it from spinning, while using
3/16” Hex key to tighten the
receiver.
Do not overtighten.

Secure each of the bottom
grommets of the screen
with a zip tie. Wrap the zip
tie under and around the
bottom pipe, held in place
by the exposed receiver
end.
These 2 bottom zip ties can
be pulled tight.
Add zip ties to the remaining
grommets, tightening only
enough to maintain an even
gap between the screen and
the pipe.
Check the spacing. The bottom of the screen should be level with the floor.
Screen liing o the floor? Adjust
zip ties to obtain minimal gap on
the floor. Don’t forget the sides,
you may have too much tension
on one of the zip ties attached to
the vertical pipes.
If the screen rests on high pile carpet,
you might find an increased number of
golf balls making their way under the
screen. To keep the balls from rolling
away, consider adding a back cover.

Insert (Optional) Foam Inserts
If ordered, you’ll receive enough foam
inserts to cover the sides and top of
your enclosure frame. Starting at the
bottom, push foam inserts into the
corners of your enclosure, between the
enclosure and the screen.
Cover each piece of foam with the
screen flap and secure
the flap with the hook and
loop strips.
The foam will be snug to
prevent ricochets. It’s help-
ful to have 2 people. One
to push the foam in. One
to secure the flap.
Nip, tuck, and smooth out any lines. Any creases remaining from folding will
relax over time. You’re ready to golf!
