How to Get Wrinkles Out of Your Golf Impact Screen

February 27, 2026

One of the most common questions we hear from customers after setting up their golf simulator is: “How do I get wrinkles out of my impact screen?”

 

First—don’t worry. This is completely normal.

The Good News: Most Impact Screen Wrinkles Resolve Naturally

Impact screens are folded during shipping, which can cause temporary creases or wrinkles when you first hang them. In most cases, gravity and tension do the work for you. Once the impact screen is installed properly, left hanging and tensioned, the screen will gradually smooth itself out over time. Larger golf sim enclosures may take longer to have these resolved as there is more surface area to smooth out. 
 

That said, if you’re looking to speed up the process, especially for deeper creases caused by folding, there are a few safe methods you can try.

How to Remove Impact Screen Creases Faster 

Many customers have had success using gentle steam to relax the fabric fibers. If you choose to try this, follow the guidelines below carefully to avoid damaging the screen:

  • Use a fabric steamer, not a high-heat iron.
  • Place a cloth between the steamer and the screen to help prevent water stains.
  • Use the lowest heat setting possible—high heat can damage the fabric.
  • If using a steam iron, keep it flat and on turf or flooring, never directly against a hard surface.
  • Do not press hard—too much pressure can create waves or puckering in the material.
  • Use only distilled water, unless your steamer’s instructions state otherwise.

Customers have reported great results using the Conair GS23RC Extreme Steam Fabric Steamer with Dual Heat, though any quality steamer with adjustable heat can work when used correctly.

A Quick Reminder on Golf Impact Screen Wrinkle Removal

These methods are optional and simply help speed up the natural wrinkle-release process. As with any fabric material, some creasing is normal. In most cases, time alone will allow the screen to relax and smooth out. With proper installation, consistent tension, and a bit of patience, your impact screen will settle in and perform exactly as intended.

 

As always, the steps above are shared as a guide based on our experience and customer feedback. If you have any questions about setup or care, we’re always happy to help.

 

Happy golfing! 🏌️‍♂️
