Space Requirements
Because the Uneekor EYE MINI is positioned next to the ball, it gives golfers more flexibility when planning a DIY simulator space compared to launch monitors that sit behind the hitting area. Most golfers will still want 8–10 feet from the ball to the screen for comfortable ball flight, screen safety and a more realistic indoor golf experience. The chart below reflects practical real-world dimensions for most golfers rather than absolute bare-minimum clearances.

Quick Notes
8′ x 10.5′ DIY Cage
Great option for tighter simulator spaces, garages, basements or multi-use rooms.
Works well for golfers who want a compact setup without needing extra space behind the ball for a rear-mounted launch monitor.
Ideal for golfers who want a serious practice setup but need to be smart with available space.
Recommended room size: 12′ W x 17’–18′ D x 10′ H.
9′ x 12′ DIY Cage
Best fit for golfers who want a larger hitting area and a more immersive simulator feel.
Provides extra width for comfort, confidence and a better visual experience during full swings.
Ideal for golfers building a more permanent simulator space or planning to use it for both practice and play.
Recommended room size: 14′ W x 17’–19′ D x 10’–11′ H.
Austad’s Sim Caddie Recommendation: If your space allows, the 9′ x 12′ enclosure is the best choice for golfers who want a more comfortable, immersive simulator experience with the Uneekor EYE MINI. The 8′ x 10.5′ enclosure is still a great fit for garages, basements and multi-purpose rooms where space is a little tighter but performance still matters.
How to Measure Your Space for a Golf Simulator
Before selecting a simulator package, take a few quick measurements to ensure your room can comfortably accommodate both the enclosure and your golf swing.
1. Measure Your Ceiling Height
Measure from the floor to the lowest point of the ceiling.
We recommend 10′ ceilings or higher for the most comfortable experience.
Many golfers can swing with 9′ ceilings, but driver swings may feel restricted.
Watch for garage door openers, light fixtures, ceiling fans, ductwork, and beams.
2. Measure Your Room Width
Measure the usable width of the room from wall to wall.
Add extra clearance for a comfortable driver swing.
If both right- and left-handed golfers will use the simulator, additional width may be required.
We typically recommend 12’–14′ of room width for most setups.
3. Measure Your Room Depth
Measure from the wall where the screen will be installed to the back wall.
Remember to account for:
Distance from the screen to the hitting area
Space behind the golfer
Launch monitor placement (if applicable)
Most simulator setups require 16’–20′ of total room depth.
4. Check for Obstructions
Look for anything that could interfere with your swing or installation:
Garage door tracks
Support beams
Windows
Electrical panels
Shelving
Light fixtures
Ceiling-mounted storage
5. Consider Your Hitting Position
The golfer should be centered on the screen whenever possible.
Ensure there is enough room to swing all clubs comfortably, especially the driver.
If multiple golfers will use the simulator, make sure the hitting area accommodates both right- and left-handed players.
6. Take a Few Photos
Snap photos from each corner of the room.
Include any obstacles or unique features.
Photos help our Sim Caddies recommend the best enclosure, launch monitor, and projector for your space.
Austad’s Sim Caddie Tip
When in doubt, measure twice. A few extra inches can make a big difference in comfort and playability. If you’re unsure whether your space will work, send us your room dimensions and photos, and we’ll help you find the right simulator setup.
