4 INTRODUCTION The following instructions apply to the hanging MiniBay and hanging SuperBay. The below diagram provides an overview of the Hanging system, showing the SuperrBay. The only difference between MiniBay and SuperBay is width. The MiniBay does not require the use of the Inline Coupler or Extende pole, otherwise the setup is identical. See following pages for detailed step by step instructions. Note: Since you will be attaching your screen and netting to the ceiling you will need to be sure you have sufficient support in the ceiling to attach the ceiling brackets. Ceiling brackets will attach flush to the ceiling. Poles will then suspend from the ceiling brackets. The bottom of the pole will hang approximately 1 to 1.5 below the ceiling. Therefore your screen height should be appoximately 4 shorter than your ceiling height to allow screen to hang even with the floor without dragging. Page 4 of 15 Rev 3/1/2018

See Step 1 - Obtain and Cut Metal Poles. ⅜ Chain (for netting chain pockets) : One continuous length of chain will be needed for the chain pocket system that keeps your netting in place. The chain will run the entire perimeter of your hitting bay and will be concealed in chain pockets that attach to the bottom of your netting. The length of chain needed varies according to size of your hitting bay as follows: 10 wide MiniBay (5 deep) - 20 feet 12, 14, or 16 wide SuperBay (5 deep) - 22 feet, 24 feet, or 26 feet respectively. If you have ordered deeper netting, increase the length of the chain to compensate for the additional depth. ⅜ Chain (for screen chain pocket) : If your screen has the optional chain pocket upgrade, you will need a lenght of chain cut to the width of your screen. Screen width is 6 narrower than the finished width of your MiniBay or Superbay (i.e. 9 6 wide for MiniBay; 11 6 wide for 12 wide SuperBay.) Page 5 of 15 Rev 3/1/2018

Custom Orders where depth is between 6 to 8 deep 2 Poles cut each pole to depth of enclosure. (ie. 8 deep, cut each pole to 8 ) Page 6 of 15 Rev 3/1/2018

7 Step 1 - Add Extender Poles (SuperBay only) For SuperBay only, add Inline Coupler and Extender pole to the Width pole. Page 7 of 15 Rev 3/1/2018

Attach poles to brackets. Lag screws and toggle bolts are provided to attach the brackets to ceiling.

8 Step 2 - Attach Ceiling Brackets and attach poles Measure and position ceiling brackets to hold the width pole and two side poles into a U shape on the ceiling. It is recommended that netting and screen be hung no closer than 24 from the nearest wall. Attach poles to brackets. Lag screws and toggle bolts are provided to attach the brackets to ceiling. Use Lag bolts to attach to ceiling joists and toggle bolts to attach to drywall. At least one side of the ceiling bracket should be anchored to a ceiling joist. Page 8 of 15 Rev 3/1/2018

depth poles, Pull netting as tight as possible, front to back, side

9 Step 2 - Hang Netting Layout netting locating the TOP REAR CORNERS With your assistant and step ladder, use cable ties to attach Top Rear Corners to the side and width poles. Next attach leading edge of the netting to the front of the side depth poles, Pull netting as tight as possible, front to back, side to side. With corners attached, finish attaching netting along the sides and back. Page 9 of 15 Rev 3/1/2018

Place the chain inside the pockets. Chain should be long enough to run the entire bottom edge of the netting, along both sides as well as the entire width.

10 Step 3 - Install Chain Pockets Chain Pockets are used to keep netting in place. They are black sleves with velcro on either side. You will recieve 4 ea pockets, 1 for each side and two for the width of the enclosure. Lay pockets out flat along the entire preimeter of the netting. Place excess netting inside the pocket. Place the chain inside the pockets. Chain should be long enough to run the entire bottom edge of the netting, along both sides as well as the entire width. Pull down on the netting to provide as much tension on the net as possible while bringing each edge of the pocket up on either side of the netting and attach the velcro edges of the pocket through the netting. Pocket should remain in contact with the floor. Page 10 of 15 Rev 3/1/2018

Step 4 - Hang Screen Attached screen to width pole Your screen will attached to the width pole with cable ties.. Do not tighten screen all the way up to the pole.

11 Step 4 - Hang Screen Attached screen to width pole Your screen will attached to the width pole with cable ties.. Do not tighten screen all the way up to the pole. To help void sag, attach the screen as shown in the diagram below. Allowing the outer edges of the screen to hang slightly lower than the center will help equalize pull on the screen allowing it to hang even with the floor. Page 11 of 15 Rev 3/1/2018

12 Attach Sides of Screen Attach the bungee cords between the side grommets on your screen and the chain inside the chain pockets. This will create downward tension on the screen to help keep it flat, and will also assist with absorbing golf shots. Page 12 of 15 Rev 3/1/2018

Attach the hook end of the turnbuckle to the other end of the cable.

13 OPTIONAL UPGRADES ShotDefender Wrap the ShotDefender cable around each of the side bars approximately 5 to 6 inches in front of the screen. Attach the hook end of the turnbuckle to the other end of the cable. Tighten the cable by twisting the turnbuckle causing the cable to shorten. It should have good tension. Page 13 of 15 Rev 3/1/2018

Place a 1 inch pvc pipe, cut to the width of your sreen, in the pocket of the shot

14 Attach the long black sleeve to the cable. Sleeve will open lengthwise via velco seam for easy installation. Place a 1 inch pvc pipe, cut to the width of your sreen, in the pocket of the shot defender for added weight in holding it down. In this way any balls directed to the shot defender will be deflected.

15 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS With the screen installed your hitting bay is now complete and is ready for golf. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS We recommend that you position the sides of your enclosure no closer than 12 away from side walls or other objects. We also strongly recommend using Almost Golf Balls, or foam balls rather than real golf balls when hitting indoors. This is a safety recommendation only. The screen is fully capable of handling full golf shots from real golf balls. Enjoy and be safe, All Sport Systems Page 15 of 15 Rev 3/1/2018
