How Much Space Do You Need for a Golf Simulator?

Most golf simulator setups require a minimum internal ceiling height of around 2.7 metres, a width of at least 3.5 metres, and a depth of 5 metres or more. Our range includes several cabin sizes to suit different garden spaces and simulator configurations, so you can find a building that meets the recommended dimensions for popular launch monitor systems such as SkyTrak, Foresight GC3, and TrackMan.

What Is Included in the Kit?

Each golf simulator cabin is supplied as a complete flat-pack kit with pre-cut log walls, roof boards, floor boards, double-glazed doors and windows, all metal fixings, and a full assembly manual. Our cabins can be assembled in just a few days — either as a DIY self-build project or with the help of a professional installation team. We deliver to all over UK.

Q: Do You Need Planning Permission for a Golf Simulator Cabin?

In England and Wales, most garden buildings fall under permitted development rights, meaning you do not need to apply for formal planning permission. The key rules relate to the height, position, and total footprint of outbuildings on your property. If your cabin is positioned more than 2 metres from any boundary, you can build up to 4 metres in ridge height with a dual-pitched roof — comfortably accommodating the extra ceiling height a golf simulator requires. We always recommend checking with your local planning authority before ordering to confirm your specific situation.

Q: Can I Use the Golf Simulator Cabin All Year Round?

Yes. Our golf simulator cabins are constructed from slow-grown Nordic spruce timber with thick interlocking log walls, offering excellent structural integrity and natural thermal performance. Add an optional insulation package for walls, roof, and floor, and you can comfortably use your golf simulator throughout winter. Many customers also install heating, LED lighting, and ventilation to create a fully functional indoor golf studio in their garden.

Q: Can the Cabin Be Used for Other Purposes?

Absolutely. While these cabins are designed with golf in mind, their generous floor area and ceiling height make them ideal for a variety of uses. When the simulator is not in use, the space works equally well as a home gym, cinema room, games room, or home office. This versatility means your investment adds genuine value to both your lifestyle and your property.

Golf simulator cabin: why choose a purpose-built design?

A standard garden building typically offers an internal ceiling height of around 2.1 to 2.4 metres – far too low for a comfortable golf swing with longer clubs. Our golf sim cabins are specifically designed with a taller apex roof structure, delivering internal ceiling heights of 2.8 metres or more. This extra headroom allows you to take full, unrestricted swings with every club in your bag, from wedges through to driver, without worrying about contact with the ceiling. Prices for our golf sim cabins start from £11,300, depending on size and specification.

Looking for a bespoke golf simulator room?

If none of our standard sizes quite fit your garden or your setup, we also build bespoke golf simulator rooms to your exact requirements – different dimensions, screen wall placement, extra storage, or a layout built around a specific launch monitor. Get in touch about a bespoke design and our team will talk you through what’s possible.

Home golf simulator UK: what does a full setup involve?

Setting up a golf simulator for home use usually comes down to three things: a launch monitor or camera system to track your swing, a screen and projector to bring the course to life, and a room built to house it all safely.

Most home golf simulator guides focus heavily on the technology, but the room is what everything else depends on – get the ceiling height or floor space wrong, and even the best launch monitor won’t let you take a full swing.

Home golf simulator UK price: what different setups cost

Home golf simulator cost in the UK varies enormously depending on where you start. A DIY setup using an existing garage or shed, with a basic launch monitor, mat and screen, typically costs £1,500–£3,000. Fully managed installers who supply the room, insulation and simulator technology as one turnkey package tend to start from around £15,000, and can run well beyond £50,000 for premium builds.

Buying a purpose-built garden room like ours sits in a different bracket again: our golf sim cabins start from £11,300, and you then choose your own launch monitor and screen setup separately – anywhere from around £1,500 for a budget system to £15,000+ for a premium one – giving you more control over where your money goes than an all-in package.

Do you need planning permission for a golf simulator room?

Golf sim planning permission rules in England and Wales are more relaxed than most people expect: most garden buildings fall under permitted development rights, meaning you do not need to apply for formal planning permission. The key rules relate to the height, position, and total footprint of outbuildings on your property. If your cabin is positioned more than 2 metres from any boundary, you can build up to 4 metres in ridge height with a dual-pitched roof — comfortably accommodating the extra ceiling height a golf simulator requires. We always recommend checking with your local planning authority before ordering to confirm your specific situation.

Golf sim room: built for year-round use

Constructed from slow-grown Nordic spruce timber with thick interlocking log walls, our golf simulator cabins offer excellent structural integrity and natural thermal performance. Add an optional insulation package for walls, roof, and floor, and your golf sim at home stays usable right through winter. Many customers also install heating, lighting, and ventilation to create a fully functional indoor golf studio in their garden.

More than just a golf simulator room

While these golf sim buildings are designed with golf in mind, their generous floor area and ceiling height make them ideal for a variety of uses.

Golf simulator shed UK: why they're popular

Interest in garden golf sim sheds has grown steadily since 2020, as more people looked for ways to make better use of their gardens.

A golf sim shed removes the friction of getting to a course – no tee time, no drive, no waiting for a slot or working round the weather. Just a few steps from the back door and you’re in your own practice space!

Golf simulator shed cost in the UK

Alongside the cabin kit, budget for insulation as an extra if you want year-round use, and factor in installation, any groundworks and electrical. You can also opt for a DIY self-build when buying one of our kits.

We supply base kits separately too, since ground conditions vary by garden; get in touch for a quick consultation if you’re not sure what yours needs.

Golf sim room: what's included in the kit?

Each golf sim cabin is supplied as a complete flat-pack kit with pre-cut log walls, roof boards, floor boards, double-glazed doors and windows, all metal fixings, and a full assembly manual. The floor boards give you a solid, level base to lay turf matting or a synthetic hitting surface over, so your golf sim flooring is ready as soon as the cabin is built. Our cabins can be assembled in just a few days – either as a DIY self-build project or with the help of a professional installation team. We deliver to all over UK.
