For many golfers, the dream of a home simulator is usually halted due to one thing - space. You may think that unless you have an enormous spare room, a dedicated outbuilding, or an endless budget, your dream simulator setup is out of reach.

But what if you actually have more space than you think?

The Vanish Series Retractable Golf Enclosure by SportScreen integrates seamlessly into garages, basements, and multi-purpose rooms. The Vanish Series proves that a state-of-the-art simulator doesn’t need a space entirely dedicated to it. This ingenious enclosure rolls down when you want to play, and stows away effortlessly when you aren't working on your game.

You May Already Have the Space

If you have a room that’s tall enough to swing a club and have always dreamt about being able to tinker with your swing mechanics at home, then the Vanish Simulator may be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Unlike traditional, bulky freestanding enclosures that are a permanent fixture in the room, this retractable system is engineered to work with the space you already have. The brackets can be mounted directly to the ceiling or the wall, and the system even has the flexibility to mount seamlessly around garage rail systems, bulkheads, and can even accommodate sloped ceilings.

The Roll-Up Makes It Possible

The Vanish Series’ magic lies in its retractable design. When deployed, it looks like a permanent, premium installation - your at-home golfing paradise. Baffles and corner pieces seal the entire enclosure, meaning there are absolutely no gaps for any wayward shots to sneak through.

The SportScreen Vanish golf enclosure is just as strong, durable, and protective as a freestanding or built-in enclosure, allowing you to work up from your wedges to driver, swinging with full confidence.

But the real game-changer with this enclosure happens when your practice session is over.

With the push of a button or the turn of a crank, the entire enclosure rolls up and out of the way, leaving you with the floor space for any other activities, freeing up room for storage, parking your car, or grabbing items that were previously hidden by the screen and enclosure. The baffles detach easily, and your room instantly returns to its original purpose.

The Budget (and the Build) is Your Choice

Contrary to belief, building a simulator doesn't have to be a complicated DIY nightmare or a financial strain. The Vanish Series comes with absolutely everything you need for the enclosure itself - no hardware store runs required for extra bolts and screws.

Every package includes a 3-ply premium impact screen, a blackout screen to reduce ambient light and prevent wear (a feature most brands charge extra for), side screens, ceiling panels, corner pieces, front and side baffles, plus all mounting brackets capable of ceiling and/or wall mounting.

Finding the right fit and price point is entirely in your hands. The Vanish 9 (1:1 aspect ratio), Vanish 11 (4:3), and Vanish 13H (4:3) are the most popular models and fit the widest range of standard rooms. For larger spaces, the Vanish 16 and Vanish 16H (16:9) offer maximized aspect ratios for incredibly immersive play, making you feel as though you’re truly walking the sunny fairways of your favourite course. Fully custom widths, heights, and depths are also available to ensure a perfect fit.

Once you’ve worked out the correct-sized enclosure for your house, you can choose your retraction mode. To keep costs as low as possible, you’ll want to choose the hand crank model.

If you want pure ease of restoring your room to normal with the push of a button, the remote control option is a convenient upgrade. The motorized version even supports home automation, meaning you can sync it to Google Home or Alexa to simply request that your enclosure be stored away.

If you prefer to start with a hand crank, conversion kits are available separately, so you can upgrade to a motorized system later.
