Looking for a Vanish Series golf simulator enclosure but have high ceilings? We’ve got you covered. The Vanish Series 9, 11, 16, and 16H include a second higher white Velcro strip designed to accommodate ceiling heights from 126"–144". Learn more about this built-in mounting solution below to see how you can make a standard Vanish golf sim work in your space.
If your ceilings exceed 144", contact our team as we may be able to offer custom bracket extensions or 2" screen extensions to fit your space.
Please note the following information only applies to Vanish Series enclosures.
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR CEILINGS ARE HIGHER THAN THE VANISH SERIES MODEL SUGGESTED ROOM RANGES
Our Vanish impact screens are designed with flexibility in mind, especially when it comes to fitting different ceiling heights and installation setups. One feature that often raises questions is the two horizontal 2" strips of white Velcro on the impact screen—so here’s a clear breakdown of how they work and why they’re there.
The dual Velcro system is specifically intended to help users with higher ceilings accommodate a standard Vanish Series size. By using the upper Velcro strip on the impact screen, you can mount your system higher while maintaining proper screen alignment, see Figure 1.
The standard Vanish 9, 11, 16 and 16H systems typically mount to utilize the lower 2" Velcro strip to attach their front baffle and have the remaining part of the impact screen wrapped around the headroll tube. With higher ceilings, the top Velcro strip on the Vanish Series impact screen can be used instead of the lower strip to accommodate ceiling heights from 126" - 144". In this case the impact screen is fully let out with no wrap around the headroll tube and the front baffle connects to this higher Velcro strip.
When the upper Velcro strip is used, the lower Velcro strip remains visible in the projectable space but is white-on-white against the screen material. In most environments, it is very subtle and typically does not interfere with projection or image quality.
The velcro strips are designed to be low-visibility, so in normal use you should not notice it during play or simulation. That said, if you are particular and want this lower strip removed you can purchase an Impact Screen Velcro Alteration to remove this. Along with this purchase please detail this request in your order notes. This is available as an optional service and does include a small additional cost due to the customization involved.
Please note that the Vanish 13H does not include this dual Velcro configuration, as it is naturally designed for higher ceiling installations and does not require the same adjustment system. Not compatible with Vanish LITE models.
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR CEILINGS ARE LOWER THAN THE VANISH SERIES MODEL SUGGESTED ROOM RANGES
If your ceiling height is below the recommended room range for a Vanish Series model, adjustments may be required to allow it to work in your space. For example, if you’re interested in a Vanish 11 but your ceiling height is 104" from the hitting surface, our team would need to lower the impact screen Velcro by 4" to properly accommodate the install to ensure that the front baffle attaches correctly and fully seals the system. Please note that when working with lower ceiling heights and adjusting the Velcro to a lower position, your available projected image height will be reduced. As a result, corner correction or adjusting throw distance on your chosen projector may be required to properly maintain and optimize aspect ratios. We recommend consulting with your chosen projector company for more details.
You can purchase an Impact Screen Velcro Alteration and include your required new lower Velcro position dimensions in the order notes.
