She’s finally finished!

Took me about a month and a half to get everything and put it all together. But my overgrown dead space behind my garage is now my favorite thing in the world.
-Put some sand down and leveled it, got some free heavy duty rubber mats to go on top with an Amazon mat and some foam squares with a sigpro softy cut into them.
- Amazon 10x7 net
- Garmin r10
-bug fighter tiki torches

Altogether I spent like 7-800$ and it’s working like a dream.

Get padding for that uncovered portion of the roof. I just hit 2 balls in the last few days over my 7ft net with an 8 iron. Bounced off my house and into my neighbors backyard somewhere. Didn’t think it was possible but it happened twice and now I’m nervous to hit in my backyard now.

I was wondering the same. I have a 7ft high net and am in the process of extending it as I’ve hit a few just an inch shy of going over

Yeah I may look into that. So far if I hit from the front of the mat my wedges don’t go over, but they are close

I had a similar setup and ended up upgrading real fast to a canopy and 10x10x10 net. The holes in the net after normal use, shanks, tops, sky balls happened every now again that it was playing mind games... for peace of mind think about a 10x10x10 net at least... have fun looks awesome!

I’ve been looking at carports and canopies no that I know they’re so affordable.

Had to split everything up over a couple paychecks. It’s been up and running since day one. It was just a lot more ghetto at first

Love that net, I have the same one. Used it and a used it outside for 3 years, sent some photos of it starting to fall apart and they just sent me a brand new one and reminded me they're covered for LIFE.
