Standalone golf simulator impact screens, foam backing layers and pelmet kits for DIY and upgrade builds. From the entry-level baffle screens to the four-layer QuadPRO and commercial-grade Pro+, plus everything you need to finish the build properly.
Golf Simulator Impact Screens & Components
An impact screen does two jobs at once: it safely stops a golf ball travelling at full driver speed, and it doubles as your projection surface. Every screen here is supplied by GolfBays, the UK specialist we use in our own simulator builds, with prices from £149 for finishing components to £1,045 for the commercial-grade Pro+.

Which Screen Grade Do You Need?
Baffle screens (Close Knit and Commercial Archery) are the value option — tightly woven polyester that stops the ball and takes a projected image, ideal for occasional use or a first build. PRO-grade screens step up the weave density for sharper projection and quieter impacts; the Reversible PRO has identical premium fabric on both sides, so you flip it when one side wears and roughly double its working life. At the top, the QuadPRO uses a four-layer composite for near-silent impact and minimal bounce-back, and the Pro+ adds triple-stitched seams and commercial-grade durability for heavy daily use and 4K projection.
Buying Rule of Thumb
Match the screen to your swing volume, not your projector. A few sessions a week: baffle or LITE. Daily practice or fast ball speeds: Reversible PRO or QuadPRO. Commercial or shared use: Pro+.
Sizing Against Your Enclosure
Measure your frame or enclosure opening first — the screen should be tensioned taut across the full opening with room behind it. Leave at least 30-40cm of clearance behind the screen so it can flex on impact without hitting the wall. If you are running a SimSpace enclosure, the SimSpace Platinum screen is the direct replacement; the SimBox screen listings only fit GolfBays SimBox frames.
Building DIY? Finish It Properly
Two components turn a bare screen into a finished simulator bay. A foam layer backing screen sits behind the main screen to absorb residual energy, cut noise, and protect the wall — it also improves screen tension and picture quality. A pelmet kit (foam edge border) frames the screen, hides the mounting hardware, and protects the edges from mishits — it is the difference between a DIY look and a theatre-style bay.

What is the difference between a baffle screen and a PRO impact screen?
Baffle screens (Close Knit and Commercial Archery) use a tightly woven single-layer polyester — they stop the ball safely and take a projected image at the lowest price. PRO-grade screens use denser, heavier fabric for a sharper picture, quieter impact and less bounce-back, and the QuadPRO adds a four-layer composite construction. If you practise daily or hit high ball speeds, the PRO grades last significantly longer.
Do I need foam backing behind my impact screen?
It is optional but strongly recommended for indoor builds. A foam layer backing screen sits behind the main screen, absorbs the energy the screen passes through, reduces noise and vibration, and protects the wall behind it. It also helps the main screen sit taut, which improves projection quality. It can be cut to size for your frame.
What is a pelmet kit and do I need one?
A pelmet kit is a foam edge border that frames your impact screen. It hides the mounting hardware, protects the screen edges and surrounding frame from mishits, and gives the bay a finished, theatre-style look. It is a finishing component rather than a necessity — the screen works without it, but most DIY builders add one for protection and appearance.
How much space do I need behind an impact screen?
Leave at least 30-40cm of clearance between the screen and the wall behind it. The screen flexes backwards when it absorbs a ball, and without clearance the ball can strike the wall through the screen — which is noisy, damages the wall, and wears the screen faster. Adding a foam backing layer reduces the clearance you need and protects the wall.
