How Far Away Should You Stand From Your Impact Screen?
To ensure the safety of both the golfer and the screen, we advise maintaining a distance of at least 10-12 feet from the screen.
Can you Iron or Steam a Golf Impact Screen?
Ironing your golf screen is not recommended due to the potential risk of damaging the screen, and our primary goal is to ensure your golf screen's extended durability. To tackle wrinkles and fold marks, the best strategy is prevention. Upon receiving your new screen, unpack it promptly, and if storage is necessary, fold it loosely. However, if you've reached a section discussing ironing your golf screen, preventive measures might not be applicable at this point. It's worth noting that mounting your golf screen onto a tensioned frame, such as with our ball bungees, and allowing it to settle for a few days can help smooth out most wrinkles.
With that said...
There have been instances of customers successfully mitigating wrinkles and fold marks on their screens using a clothes iron. If you're inclined to attempt this, proceed solely on the material's backside and employ an extremely low setting.
Can You Use Your Impact Screen Outdoors?
Carl's Place Golf Impact Screens are recommended for indoor use only.
What Fasteners Should You Use to Hang Your Golf Screen?
The majority of customers who purchase an impact screen also opt for ball bungees, available in lengths of 6 inches or 9 inches. Ensure the fastening is done in a manner that allows the screen or material some flexibility. For instance, refrain from securing the material directly through the grommet holes, as this impedes the necessary movement to absorb the impact of each golf ball, increasing the likelihood of ball rebound. Avoid over-tensioning the screen; a certain degree of movement must be permitted.
How Many Ball Bungees are Recommended?
The recommended number of Ball Bungees varies by Golf Impact Screen size. The Golf Impact Screen Specifications Document has a full list of the suggested number of Bungees for each screen size offered by Carl's Place. Add or remove bungees to find your perfect balance of tension and slack.
How Do You Install Ball Bungees?
In conjunction with reusable zip ties, Ball Bungees play a crucial role in fastening impact screens and enclosures to the frame. Designed with flexibility in mind, they afford you the convenience to add or remove ball bungees as required, enabling you to attain your desired level of tension.
- Insert the loop end of the bungee through a grommet from the rear side of the screen.
- Thread it through the grommet until the toggle ball contacts the back of the grommet.
- Draw the cord over and around the frame or pipe.
- Secure the cord onto the toggle ball to create a loop.
What Size Grommets Should You Use?
Carl's Place grommets have an outer dimension of 3/4" and an inner dimension of 3/8".
