As any keen golfer knows, shaving strokes off your handicap takes countless hours of practice. Regular trips to the driving range cost both time and money, but with today’s technology, serious practice can now happen at home. That’s why Andy decided to turn his garage into his very own golf simulator.

The biggest obstacle -aside from avoiding bunkers - was his old sectional garage door, which ate up valuable headroom and wall space. By upgrading to a space‑saving Garolla electric door, Andy unlocked the room he needed to swing freely. Now, he can tee off at a virtual Sawgrass and hone his skills without ever leaving home.  

Before upgrading to a space-saving roller garage door, the garage was limited by its layout, height and storage.

Andy’s wife used the garage for storage and for accessing garden tools, so there needed to be a solution that maximised space without compromising functionality. With the sectional door removed, it meant that a shallow storage area could be created close to the entrance for easy accessibility and then a dividing wall put in place to create a clean, dry and impressive space for golf which is accessed through a side door.

There’s so much space now that the storage sits right up against the door, with a wall behind it fully separating it from the golf simulator – cleverly sectioned off to be two spaces. The golf simulator is then accessible through a side door, a neat division of ‘his and hers’ spaces.
