A good rule of thumb is for your golf simulator room to have a ceiling height of at least 9'. In our experience 9' provides more than enough clearance for the average golfer. For some golfers a ceiling height of less than 9' could be appropriate, but ultimately will depend on your height and the flatness of your swing.
Also to know is, how high does the ceiling need to be for a golf simulator?
A common area of space that many home simulators use is 10 feet wide by 15 feet long by 10 feet high. The minimum code for basement ceiling height is 7 feet and the OptiShot simulator recommends at least 8.5 feet—we recommend even more height than that if you plan on swinging your driver in the simulator.
Also know, how much clearance do you need for a golf simulator?
Typically, a system will require a room that's ten feet deep, ten feet wide, and a ceiling clearance that can range from seven feet up to ten and a half feet. Setting up a spot in your home for your new golf simulator system is fairly easy if you have the right amount of space that the system requires.
Most of the “extreme budget” golf nets are not going to be worth your money. They will be very difficult to set up and take apart. Additionally, they don't perform very well and the netting will not last long.
