1. Plan, Measure & Align

Page | 4
When planning a golf simulator for a new build, consider using ply-
wood on the walls and ceilings to simplify panel installation. It’s a game-
changer, streamlining the trickiest part of the installation—securing
cleats into studs or relying on wall anchors.
Plan, Measure, and Align Your Space
Before you start, it’s essential to plan, measure, and align your golf room
installation properly. Here’s how:
Review Panel Diagram:
Examine the provided panel
diagram, customized for your
room layout.
Orientation Check: Un-
derstand the orientation of
panels and cleats. Wall cleats
should align perpendicularly
to the screen.

Golf Room Panel Kit Assembly Manual - V01
Plan Panel Placement: Line up all your panels on the floor and make sure
spacing looks correct prior to installing. This is to help you decide where you
want to leave your seam allowance, and where to install the cleats.
These panels are designed to work with Carl’s Built-In Screen and will install
snug against the row of starter panels.
If you haven’t already, install
starter panels. Use a level
and plumb line as your guide.
Start at the bottom, butting
the lowest starter panel up
against the floor anchor.
Level and screw into stud (or
use wall anchors).

Note: Each panel will be anchored
in the four corners secured with four
Z-clips - spread over two rows of
cleats. However, hold o on this step
for now; the precise placement will
become evident when you install the
panels.
Plan Cleat Placement: Devel-
op a clear plan for position-
ing your cleats to ensure that
each cleat spans the seam of
two adjacent panels.
Your cleat configuration
should resemble this plan,
considering variables like stud
availability, panel sizes, and
the extent of coverage.
Stud Location: If you don’t
have plywood walls and
ceilings, use a stud finder
and laser level to identify and
mark stud locations. This step
streamlines cleat installation.
Try to install cleats into
studs. If unable to do so,
use wall anchors.

Golf Room Panel Kit Assembly Manual - V01
Cleat Installation on Walls
Start at the Bottom: Align the
first cleat at the lower part of
the wall, 1”-2” above the floor.
In this manual, we show starting
panel installation adjacent to the
starter panels, however if your wall
has a distinct end, you may want to
start there and work back toward
the screen.
Cleat Orientation: Position
the cleat with the grooved
edge against the wall, facing
downwards, creating space
on top for the Z-clips to rest.
Install Cleat: Use a level
and pencil to mark the cleat
holes.

Fastening: Secure the cleat
into a stud (use anchors if
necessary) using the long
screws provided. Do not
overtighten.
Use a drill/driver instead of an impact drill so that the wall brackets aren’t
overtightened. Overtightening now would make it more dicult to install
the panels later.
Install Second Cleat: Proceed
to install the next cleat above
the first cleat. Exact place-
ment varies based on your
room’s panel customization,
however the cleat should sit
about 4” below the top edge
of the panel.

Golf Room Panel Kit Assembly Manual - V01
Install Third and Fourth Cleats: Line up your panel again to gauge the place-
ment of the next 2 cleats. These cleats should be placed farther from the
screen but at the same heights as the previous ones. (You should be able to
secure these next two cleats into studs.)
While there’s some flexibility in their placement, ensure that the edge closest
to the screen sits at least 2” behind the panel, with the remaining part ex-
tending beyond the panel to accommodate the installation of the next panel.
Proceed to install these two cleats.

Placing Wall Panels
Prepare Z-Clips: Uncover the
adhesive on the back of four
Z-clips.
To expedite this (particularly if you
have short nails) try using tweezers
or a hook and pick set.
Z-Clip Arrangement: Set a
Z-clip into each cleat, four
Z-clips in total.
Space the Z-Clips: Measure
the Z-clip spacing to align
with the panel’s width, leav-
ing approximately one inch
on each side.
Keep the Z-clips near the panel’s
edges for proper corner alignment.
However, on the last column of
panels, maintain the last Z-clip 1”-2” from the edge to keep it out of sight.

Golf Room Panel Kit Assembly Manual - V01
Panel Placement: Ensure the
panel is level and flush with
the screen flaps, then firmly
press it against the adhesive.
Remove Panel: Li to remove
the panel with the Z-clip now
adhered.
If any Z-clips did not stick,
carefully set back in place
and press more firmly.
Secure Z-Clips: Secure each
Z-clip to the panel using the
short screws provided.

Reinstall Panel: Set the panel
back into position onto the
cleat.
Repeat for All Wall Panels: Repeat this process for all wall panels, working
from the bottom to the top, close to the screen, and then outward. Align
each panel evenly with adjacent ones and use cleats to attach every panel
with four Z-clips in the four corners.

Golf Room Panel Kit Assembly Manual - V01
Installation on Ceilings
Plan Ceiling Cleat and Panel Placement: Start in the middle of the screen
when determining where to install the ceiling panels. This helps get equal
spacing at the end.
Duplicate the cleat and panel installation on the ceiling.
Cleat Orientation: Orient
the cleat with the grooved
edge against the ceiling and
toward the screen, with the
opening for the Z-clips facing
away from the screen. Begin
the first row of cleats 2”-3”
from the starter panel edge
and 1”-2” from the wall.

Ceiling Panel Installation:
Install ceiling panels in the
same manner, starting at the
screen and working away
from it. Begin by placing the
Z-clips with exposed adhe-
sive, then press the panel
onto the adhesive.
Slide to remove panel.
In tight corners, where ceiling
panels meet wall panels, the adhe-
sive Z-clips may not adhere securely
as you manuever the panel. In such
instances, measure the placement
of the Z-clips on the panel instead.

Golf Room Panel Kit Assembly Manual - V01
Secure each Z-clip to the
panel using screws, then
reinstall.
Repeat for All Ceiling Panels:
Repeat this process for all
ceiling panels, working from
the screen and away. Align
each panel evenly with adja-
cent ones and use cleats to
attach every panel with four
Z-clips in the four corners.
Evenly Space Panels
Finally, ensure that your
panels are evenly spaced.
The panels are intentionally
slightly smaller than the room
to ensure a proper fit. If any
gap at the end is noticeable,
evenly distribute the panels
to cover the entire room.
