Setup Guide
The roller housing fixes into solid structure, ceiling joists or wall studs, using the universal brackets supplied. There are four mount options: two ceiling mounts, a back-wall mount and a side-wall mount.
Assembly needs two people, and the manufacturer recommends using a general contractor for the install. On the remote-control version you pair the remote with the motor and set the upper and lower stop positions, so the screen halts at the right height every time.
Space Requirements
Choose your model by room width and ceiling height. These are the manufacturer's figures.
| Model | Room width | Ceiling | Picture |
| Vanish 11 | 3.43–3.73m | 2.74–3.20m | 3.05 × 2.29m (4:3) |
| Vanish 13H | 3.96–4.34m | 3.19–3.65m | 3.63 × 2.73m (4:3) |
| Vanish 16 | 5.03–5.33m | 2.74–3.20m | 4.65 × 2.29m (16:9) |
| Vanish 16H | 5.03–5.33m | 3.05–3.51m | 4.65 × 2.59m (16:9) |
Every model is 1.52m deep when deployed. Allow 20–30cm clear behind the screen and 15–20cm each side, and a room at least 5.18m long. If your ceiling is lower than 2.74m, send Tom your room before you order: the ceiling mounts are height-adjustable and there are wall-mount options.

Product Description
The SportScreen Vanish Series is a full golf simulator enclosure that rolls up to the ceiling when you are finished. Screen down, it is a proper hitting bay with an impact screen, side screens and a ceiling panel. Screen up, the floor is clear and the room goes back to being a garage, a gym or a lounge.
- Retractable: the impact screen, side screens and ceiling panel roll away on aluminium rollers, by hand crank or by remote control.
- A complete enclosure: premium 3-ply impact screen with a blackout backing, side screens, ceiling panel and back protection, with wall and ceiling brackets supplied.
- Four sizes: Vanish 11 and 13H (4:3), Vanish 16 and 16H (16:9), for rooms from 3.43m to 5.33m wide.
- More than golf: the screen works as a projection surface for films, sport and gaming.
Every model is 1.52m deep when deployed. Not sure which one fits? Send Tom your room size for a free consultation before you order.

Retractable
Rolls away when you are done
The impact screen, side screens and ceiling panel wind up onto aluminium rollers. Choose the hand crank, or the remote-control version, where you set the stop positions once and the screen halts at the right height every time.
- Hand crank or remote control
- Set-and-forget stop positions on the remote
All in one
A full enclosure, not only a screen
A roll-down screen on its own leaves the sides and ceiling open. The Vanish brings side screens, a ceiling panel and back protection down with it, with wall and ceiling brackets in the box.
- Side screens and ceiling panel
- Back protection
- Brackets supplied
Impact screen
Three-ply screen with a blackout backing
A durable three-layer impact fabric with a blackout screen behind it absorbs the ball while cutting noise, ambient light and screen wear. Models come in 4:3 and 16:9 to match your projector.
- 3-ply impact fabric
- Blackout backing
- 4:3 or 16:9
One room, more than one use
Park the car under it
Rolled up, the enclosure sits at the ceiling and the floor is yours again: the car goes back in, or the room is a gym, a cinema or a games room. The screen also works as a projection surface for films and sport.
- Garage, gym or lounge
- Films, sport and gaming on the same screen
The honest comparison

The questions everyone asks
Which model fits my room?
Choose by room width and ceiling height. Vanish 11 suits rooms 3.43–3.73m wide, Vanish 13H 3.96–4.34m, and Vanish 16 and 16H 5.03–5.33m. Every model is 1.52m deep when it is down, and the maker suggests a room at least 5.18m long. Send Tom your room and he will confirm the model before you order.
What ceiling height do I need?
The standard models (11 and 16) are made for ceilings of 2.74–3.2m. The 13H is for 3.19–3.65m and the 16H for 3.05–3.51m. The ceiling mounts are height-adjustable and there are wall-mount options, so if your ceiling is lower, send Tom your room before you order and he will tell you honestly whether it works.
Hand crank or remote control?
Both roll the whole enclosure away. The hand crank winds it up manually. The remote-control version is motorised: you pair the remote, set the upper and lower stop positions once, and it halts at the right height every time. It needs a mains socket within reach of the housing, and Tom confirms the electrical details with you before you order. The remote version is £1,000 more on every model.
How is it installed?
The roller housing fixes into solid structure, ceiling joists or wall studs, with the brackets supplied. There are two ceiling-mount options, a back-wall mount and a side-wall mount. Assembly needs two people and the manufacturer recommends using a general contractor. Allow 20–30cm clear behind the screen and 15–20cm each side.
What is in the box, and what else do I need?
The impact screen, the side, top and back panels, the wall and ceiling brackets and the owner’s manual. To make it a simulator you add a launch monitor, a projector and a hitting mat, which you can add from the extras on this page.
Can I still use the garage when it is rolled up?
Yes. Rolled up, the enclosure sits at the ceiling and the floor is clear, so the car can go back in or the room can be used for something else.
Which projectors and launch monitors does it work with?
The screens come in 4:3 and 16:9, so choose the model that matches your projector’s picture. It works with the launch monitors we sell. Radar units need 2.4–3m behind the ball, so check your room depth with Tom first.
Can I watch films and sport on it?
Yes. The screen works as a projection surface for films, sport and gaming as well as golf.
