What is a golf screen finish?

By “finish” or “finishing,” we’re talking about the sewn edge of your golf screen. Carl’s Place has three popular ways of finishing golf impact screens: grommeted edges, grommeted edges with flaps to hide foam and frame, and grommeted edges with loop fasteners for attaching accessories. We also have made plenty of custom finishes for customers.

Before diving in, let’s talk about our five different custom finishes and their potential uses.

BASIC FINISHED EDGE

Includes a sewn-in 2.5 inch strip of vinyl without grommets on each edge of the impact material. Provides an aesthetically pleasing finish and stability to the impact material, but does not supply the screen with a hanging or tensioning mechanism. 

FINISHED EDGE WITH GROMMETS

Our basic finished edge, but add in grommets that allow for support hanging and/or tensioning for the impact screen. Also called our classic finish.

Grommets are placed in all four corners with the next grommet on each side 5.5 inches away from the corners. 

Then, grommets are spaced equally across the remaining space between the near-corner grommets (the ones that are 5.5 inches away from the corner). The spacing between the remaining grommets is based on the screen size to ensure there is equal tensioning. 

FINISHED EDGE WITH FLAPS

Flaps are added to the finished edge with grommets to cover the frame and give you that finished, professional look. The flaps themselves will not fully protect the frame from a ball ricocheting off of it. For added protection, you’ll want to include optional foam inserts with your order.

Not only do you get the same stability and tensioning abilities as the finished edge with grommets, but also an additional flap that can provide a smooth transition from the impact screen to your enclosure or setup. Also known as our classic with flaps finish.

The most common application for this screen with nylon flaps would be inside one of Carl’s DIY Enclosures. The screen mounts to the frame using ball bungees through the grommets, but the flaps with a loop fastener strip on the end would attach to the enclosure wall, where there is a strip of hook fastener. 

FINISHED EDGE WITH LOOP FASTENER

Add a strip of loop fastener to a finished edge with grommets. Will still provide the support and tension abilities thanks to the ability to attach screen to frame with ball bungees through the grommets. Also known as our classic with loop fastener finish. 

As with the first two, the impact screen with the classic with loop fastener finish would attach to a frame with ball bungees through the grommets. The loop fastener strip is there as another mounting point for accessories with hook fasteners on it. Some ideas include curtains, nets or your own safety cushions.

This screen is mostly seen in Carl’s Pro Enclosures, which come with safety cushions that have hook fastener to attach to the screen’s loop fastener. The cushions are similar to the flap and foam inserts in Carl’s DIY Enclosures in that it provides a more finished look, and protects your pipes from errant shots, and you from errant shots that ricochet off the pipes. 

However, these screens are also used by customers who have big plans for what they want to attach to the screen.

RAW IMPACT MATERIAL EDGE

Raw impact material edges can provide a customer with 2.5 inches more of viewable space per edge. This is great for a carpet turf to digital, projected image turf transition for an immersive environment. Keep in mind that this edge may decline faster and does not supply the same support and tension as other finishes.
