Golf Sheds
Birdie Builds specializes in custom golf simulator shed builds for homeowners across Washington State. You don’t need to already have a shed or outbuilding on your property — our team can guide the entire process from concept to finished golf studio.
A golf simulator shed is a purpose-built backyard structure designed specifically for golf. We help homeowners plan the right building size, ceiling height, simulator layout, and equipment so the space performs like a professional indoor practice facility. Our installations support leading simulator technology including Trackman, Uneekor, and other professional launch monitor systems.
In many cases, backyard structures used for golf simulators can be built without a full building permit depending on size and local regulations. Our team can help guide you through those considerations and design a solution that works for your property.
Whether you're starting with an empty backyard or upgrading an existing structure, Birdie Builds designs and installs fully integrated golf simulator sheds that combine structure planning, simulator technology, and professional installation into one seamless project.
The result is a dedicated backyard golf studio designed for year-round practice, entertainment, and improving your game.
What Is a Golf Simulator Shed?
A golf simulator shed is a detached backyard building designed specifically to house a golf simulator. Unlike traditional sheds, these structures are built with the space, insulation, and electrical infrastructure required for a professional simulator setup.
Typical features of a golf simulator shed include:
-
Adequate ceiling height for full swings
-
Insulated walls for year-round use
-
Electrical and lighting designed for simulator performance
-
Projector and launch monitor mounting locations
-
Turf flooring and impact screen installation
The result is a dedicated golf practice environment that feels like a private golf studio on your property.
Birdie Builds handles both the simulator installation and the layout planning required for a high-performing golf shed.

How Big Should a Golf Simulator Shed Be?
One of the most common questions homeowners have when planning a backyard golf simulator is how much space is needed. The good news is that a golf simulator shed does not need to be enormous, but proper planning is important to ensure safe swings and accurate simulator performance.
Most golf simulator sheds are designed to accommodate three key requirements: ceiling height, room width, and room depth. These dimensions ensure golfers can swing comfortably while also providing enough space for the impact screen, projector, and launch monitor.
While exact requirements depend on the golfer and the simulator technology being used, most backyard golf simulator sheds follow similar size guidelines.
Another important factor when planning a golf simulator shed is the type of simulator technology you plan to install. Different launch monitor systems have slightly different space requirements depending on how they track the golf ball. Radar-based systems like Trackman 4 typically sit several feet behind the golfer, while camera-based systems such as Trackman iO and Uneekor are mounted in front of or above the hitting area. These differences can influence the total depth and layout of the space.
Because of these variations, the ideal shed size is not just about fitting a swing. It’s about creating a layout where the simulator equipment, impact screen, projector, and hitting area all work together comfortably. Birdie Builds helps homeowners determine the right shed dimensions early in the planning process so the simulator performs accurately and the space feels open and natural to play in.
