Golf Simulator Flooring DIY: Build It with Foam Board, EVA/Rubber & Turf!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Discover how to elevate your indoor golf experience with an unconventional (Money-Saving!) yet beautifully finished DIY Golf Simulator Flooring! Against all odds and advice, I tried a unique solution that combines Foam Board Insulation, EVA Foam Tiles, and Grass Tex Money Putt Turf to create a flawless playing surface. Not only does it work, but it also turned out to be incredible in performance and feel. In this video, I'll take you through each step of the process:
1. Building a Frame: Solid foundations for lasting durability.
2. Innovative Base Construction: Using 1.5" Foam Board Panels to achieve the ideal height and match our SIG Pro Softy Hitting Mat.
3. Cutting the Turf: Precision techniques for a perfect fit.
*My entire floor was previously finished with the 1/2" Thick Rubber/EVA flooring. So that was my starting point and a large reason for putting it in between the turf and the 1.5" Foam Board.*

    Exactly what I am looking for. How long have you had this specific setup and how is the foam holding up?

    Installed the Foamboard 6 months ago, 11/10/23. I measured with a tape measure last weekend before the video and if there is an amount of compression at all it is not measureable for me on my tape measure or naked eye. Internet told me :) - "A 200 pound man standing on both feet exerts about 2.78 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure. Standing on one foot, he exerts about 5.56 psi of pressure." 1.5 Foamboard is rated to withstand 15-25 PSI. So having 1/2" foam/rubber + 3/8" turf I was betting that the load would be spread enough to not affect it. I figured if it did effect eventually it would be easy to replace or redo. So far, I'm extremely happy with it and becaue of that.. I put out the video :)

    @@trpl_bgy Makes total sense! Why didn't you go with a traditional 1/2" plywood versus the rubber top EVA foam? This would have saved a lot more money. Did you just want the softer feel? Love the setup, just curious.

    @jordangoracke1430 great question. Was really an order of operations limitation lol. Already had the floor in before ever decided or considered going this route. It is nice and soft and the tiles link together very “flush” to one another as well. But not sure this is exactly how one would draw up starting from scratch. Mostly wanted to put out an example of the use of the foam panels as I haven’t seen anyone try it and was sure others were wondering like I had. I searched and searched for someone who could tell me it worked or didn’t but never found. So thought I’d play guinea pig here and try it. I should add, the ball bounce is greatly reduced and it the combination of the layers seemed to absorb sound, just felt slightly less loud after install

    Thanks for the video. I’m still in planning stage and already purchased an sig pro softy hitting strip only and was going to build up everything else like your video including the hitting area for a clean look. Do you think this will work and hold up for a hitting area as well as putting area? Thanks

    We have built a 9 hole course in our pasture. We are currently running some as sand holes and some as AstroTurf from some that was being tossed (75% sand / 25% turf). Do you have any recommendations for outdoor rubber or setups that would work outside?

    Great video. What mat are you standing on. Looks like it takes traffic well. I noticed your hitting insert showed wear but where you were standing didn’t. I’m using cheapo depo putting green material from Home depot but it’s wearing down from my stance. Looking to do something that will not need to be replaced every 6 months

    So that is the "Stance Mat" portion of the SIG Pro Softy hitting mat. I had gone through two $300 mat's from local sports store and decided to invest in something more professional because of reviews. It's exremely durable and the hitting strip on the SIG Pro Softy hitting mat is relpaceable. I would recommend the purchase to all. Its been great on my joints and the hitting strip is 7 months old now and I don't plan to replace soon. SIGPRO Softy Golf Mat - amzn.to/3vxM7SA

    New sub here. I have the SigPro Softy. It’s amazing and I love it. My issue is that it’s to thick and with garage height being at a premium (8’4”) I have to go get a Monster Mat, just because it’s not as thick. Great video!
