Golf Simulator Cabin Ceiling Height Guide
How Should Clear Height Be Specified for a Golf Simulator Cabin?
Several simulator manufacturers use about 10 ft, approximately 3.0m, as a planning height, but requirements vary by golfer height, swing, launch monitor, enclosure and room layout. The simulator hardware supplier or installer must confirm the finished clear height and hitting position for the selected system before the timber shell is specified.
What Does Eurodita Confirm at the Shell Quotation Stage?
Eurodita supplies the timber cabin shell only. We do not supply, install or calibrate the launch monitor, screen, projector or simulator fit-out. At quotation stage, Eurodita reviews the requested shell dimensions, roof geometry, openings and the clear-height target already confirmed by the fitting partner.
Published data for the nine standard Golf Simulator Cabin models lists a 3640mm ridge height and 2405mm eaves height. These shell dimensions must not be read as proof of finished swing clearance. The finished internal clear height depends on the floor, roof and interior build-up and must be confirmed in the project drawings.
Why Does the Apex Roof Matter?
An apex roof places the highest point along the building centreline. This provides more centreline headroom than the eaves measurement alone, but it does not determine where a golfer, screen or launch monitor should be positioned. The fitting partner must set the equipment layout and hitting position for the selected simulator system.
- Published ridge height: 3640mm for the nine standard models
- Published eaves height: 2405mm for the nine standard models
- Finished internal clear height: confirmed from the project drawings and selected build-up
- Simulator equipment clearance: confirmed by the hardware supplier or fitting partner
Standard Golf Simulator Cabin Shell Dimensions
The table below records the nominal model dimensions and published roof heights. It does not prescribe a simulator layout or final equipment clearance.

What Information Is Needed Before Eurodita Quotes the Shell?
A fitting partner should confirm the selected simulator system and prepare the required external footprint, finished clear-height target, door and window positions, service openings and site constraints. Eurodita then reviews whether the timber shell can use a standard model or requires a bespoke project.
- Nominal external shell dimensions
- Finished clear-height target confirmed by the fitting partner
- Door, window and service-opening positions
- Partner-confirmed hitting and equipment layout constraints
- Local site and authority requirements confirmed by the project team
Can Eurodita Manufacture a Bespoke Shell Height or Roof Geometry?
Yes. Eurodita manufactures bespoke timber shells to customer projects. A different ridge height, roof pitch or footprint must be reviewed against the fitting partner’s confirmed layout and supplied project information. The final shell dimensions, production scope and timing are confirmed in the quotation and project drawings.
Who Is Responsible for Planning and Final Simulator Suitability?
Local authority review is required where applicable. The buyer and project team remain responsible for local planning, foundations, utilities, installation and final use. The fitting partner remains responsible for confirming that its selected simulator system and completed room are suitable for the intended users.
Next Step for Fitting Companies
Send Eurodita the required shell dimensions, partner-confirmed clear-height target, opening positions and project constraints. Eurodita will review the timber shell scope and confirm whether a standard or bespoke manufacturing route is appropriate.
