goaliewales14 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I've been looking for a few hitting nets and chipping targets to put into my backyard when I came across just the impact netting. https://www.networldsports.com/golf/impact-netting/22mm-golf-impact-ball-stop-netting-standard-size.html 20ft only being $7.99, I was thinking what's the difference between the manufactured nets and building one from scratch? Am I missing anything or would it be simple to get some piping from a hardware store and make a cage? Then you can also do the same thing for chipping target by giving them legs much like a corn hole board to stand.

cnosil Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Yes, you can get some piping from a hardware store and built a net. You just need to design the structure and get the right amount of net. Probably also need to consider the material the pipes are made from, if metal there will be rebound. You can use this blog post as a reference for building a frame and screen. You would just use net and build it out enough to be outside if you plan to use it outdoors. https://mygolfspy.com/a-diy-guide-for-building-a-golf-simulator-at-home/ Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe Backup Putters: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W, TM-180 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeye64 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Just make the frame from PVC pipe and wrap them with pipe insulation so the balls wont rebound back at you. Home Depot or Lowes will hook you up with all the pipe and fittings you can think of. Attach the net with Zip Ties. Half the fun will be making it yourself Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk goaliewales14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhammer Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I would look at the cost of materials and time investment versus just buying a few $20 nets then make a Go/No Go decision. That's pretty much how I approach most DIY projects.

goaliewales14 Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Thanks everyone! I'm going to do a little bit more research and see which will be the best route Quote Driver: Callaway Rogue ST Max 3 Wood: Taylormade SIM 3 Utility Iron: Srixon U85 4i – 5i: Taylormade P790 6i – AW: Taylormade P770 SW: Taylormade MG3 TW Grind LW: Taylormade Hi-Toe 3 Low Bounce Putter: PXG Battle Ready One & Done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Txmason123 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 So I built a driving net this year. Reading posts on this forum, I saw several people recommend using a mesh tarp from Harbor Freight. I think I spent about $25 on the net. It was 10'X12'. I purchased 1 1/2" PVC for the frame. I used 4-10' sticks. The frame demensions are 8'X8' and had 2' supporting legs from the remnants. I secured the net with zip ties. I probably spent $50 dollars for the frame. It works really good as far as I can tell. Keep your tarp loose, so it absorbs the energy from the ball. I stand fairly close to the net, (at least closer than the booths at golf shops). It was a fun little project, and now I can at least hit golf balls regardless of the weather. tony@CIC, cnosil, edingc and 3 others 6 Quote Mizuno JPX EZ driver Taylormade SLDR HL 3 wood Mizuno JPX EZ hybrids 3 & 4 Mizuno JPX EZ Irons 4-G Titleist SM6 Vokey wedge 54.10 Odyssey White Hot Pro V-line putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at getting a Parbuster Impact Panel (https://www.parbuster.com/collections/golf-impact-panels/products/ultra-duty-delta-impact-panel), but this would be significantly cheaper. I do plan to run netting behind the panel as well as a "just in case" contingency.

Txmason123 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 It seems to be pretty durable. Judging by the quality and construction of the tarp, I don't think it will fail without warning. Sometimes it will retain the shape of the impact within the net. But if you stretch the tarp with a little tension it will take out those areas. From the use it has seen, I think it will hold up for years. I will add that I don't hit a driver in it very much and my ball speeds are fairly low. I don't know if I would trust it if you're a long drive competitor.

CLaw Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I put a second hanging tarp (4x4) from my first pop up net to take most of the spin from my irons. Easy to replace the small piece and then the net helps with the bulk of the force, but not the friction.
