Clear height
Measure below open-door tracks, beams, lights and garage-door motors—not the nominal ceiling.
Golf simulator planning
Plan a garage simulator that works all year.
Measure around the garage door and services first. Then choose a retractable practice bay or permanent projected room that fits the usable space.

A garage can appear large enough while door tracks, storage, damp or a cold concrete floor make the intended installation unsuitable. Do not order equipment from nominal room dimensions.
Six garage checks before equipment
Moisture and temperature
Protect electronics and turf from damp, condensation and winter temperature swings.
Floor and mat
Insulate cold concrete and keep the stance level with a joint-friendly strike surface.
Shared use
Decide whether the enclosure, screen and mat must retract when golf ends.
Power and network
Plan safe sockets, lighting, ventilation and reliable connectivity before installation.
Noise and neighbours
Consider impact noise, projector fans and late-evening use before finishing the room.
Shared garage
Retractable practice bay
Prioritise repeatable setup, safe containment and storage. A net or retractable enclosure can make more sense than permanent projection.

Permanent projected room
Plan insulation, turf, screen, projector geometry, computer, ventilation and electrical work as one installation.

Use dated budget ranges rather than relying on a fixed shopping list. Prices, package inclusions and room preparation costs change.
How we would allocate the budget
For a garage with sufficient radar depth, compare these verified core products only after the room checks are complete. They are launch monitors, not complete room packages.
Core launch monitor
Garmin Approach R10
A portable radar route for a garage that provides the required space behind and in front of the ball.
Core launch monitor
Rapsodo MLM2PRO
A video-led portable alternative where current device, membership and radar-placement requirements are acceptable.

Complete packages worth checking
These are complete simulator routes, shown with example finished-room configurations so you can compare the type of setup rather than isolated hardware. Choose a practice bundle if you only need a monitor plus net/screen, or a complete simulator for an enclosure-and-screen room.
