Key Features:
- Easy sliding mechanism allowing you to set the perfect distance to fill your golf hitting screen.

The SkyRailPlus™ sliding projector mount is designed to work with most enclosed golf simulator hitting cages and can support deeper cages by replacing the interior struts with longer channel. See customization section below for more details.
- Not compatible with the MicroBay™ system.
Slide feature: The SkyRailPlus™ has rails that allow the projector mount to slide up to 29 inches for precise positioning. Short throw projectors do not have an adjustable zoom lens and therefore must be mounted the precise distance from the screen for a good image fit on the screen. Rather than struggling to locate the exact spot to mount your golf simulation projector, use the SkyRailPlus™ sliding projector mount to make mounting your projector a breeze! See also the SkyRail sliding ceiling mount.
Attaches to the Golf Bay: The SkyRailPLUS™ attaches directly to the DIY Bay. This avoids any concerns about drilling holes in the ceiling and routing of the HDMI or Power cables to the ceiling. Any repositioning or moving of the bay is now no problem as no remounting the projector in the ceiling is necessary. Power and HDMI cables route along the rails over the bay and down the side for a clean look and easy installation.
Sizing: The SkyRail+ for DIY Bays will fit any DIY bay 5ft Deep. See also the SkyRail+ Cage Attached Golf Simulator Projector Mount for SuperBays. The compatibility and customization section below provides more details on mounting the SkyRailPLUS™ to a golf bay enclosure of any size.
Projector Placement: The SkyRailPlus mount can position the projector from 3 in. to 30 in. outside the front of your golf bay enclosure. When calulating projector placement consider that the DIY screen hangs at the back of the 5ft deep enclosure. This means the SkyRailPlus can position your projector 5ft3in to 7ft9in from the screen. A short throw projector with a 0.5 throw ratio will pair well with the SkyRailPlus for DIY Golf Bays 5ft deep and 10ft to 16ft wide.
Optional Upgrades:
- Add the optional ProjectorShield™ Protective Projector Cage to maximize security! This product will protect your projector from ball and club strikes. Learn more about the ProjectorShield for golf simulators here.
Customization: The SkyRailPLUS™ for DIY Bays is designed for cages up to 5' deep. The internal rails (half channel struts 1-5/8 in. W x 13/16 in. D available from a local hardware store) can easily be replaced to accommodate a deeper golf simulator enclosures up to 10' deep. Call us for more details or see our setup guides for more information.
Compatibility: Our patented SkyBridge™ brackets (included with purchase of SkyRail+) allow you to modify your existing frame to accept the SkyRailPlus sliding projector mount. The SkyRailPLUS™ projector mount is compatible with any golf simulator using poles with a outer circumference of 1 in to 1.5 in for the framing. Note that trade designations for EMT poles do not represent the outer pole circumference. SkyBridge Brackets will NOT fit 1.5 in. EMT poles as these have an outer circumference larger than 1.5 in. Call us for more information or see our setup guides.
Why choose the SkyRail™ family of sliding projector mounts for your home golf simulator?
If you’ve ever installed a golf simulator projector then you know that the distance between the projector and the golf hitting screen is critical. If you mount it too close the image will not fill the screen; too far away and it will bleed over the edges. The SkyRail™ family of sliding ceiling projector mounts provide a range of adjustment, which makes mounting your golf sim projector a breeze!

The SkyRail™ sliding projector mount places your golf simulator projector on the ceiling while allowing it to slide along a track to easily adjust the distance the projector hangs from the screen. It includes a universal mount that can mount the projector close to the ceiling or with telescopic arms for up to 2 feet of drop. The SkyRail™ is available in either 17" or 39" of slide adjustment. The flexibility of this mount makes mounting your golf sim projector the correct distance from the screen and ceiling a breeze!
Slide feature: Short throw projectors do not have an adjustable zoom lens and therefore must be mounted the precise distance from the screen for a good image fit on the screen. Rather than struggling to locate the exact spot to mount your projector, use the SkyRail™ ceiling attached sliding projector mount. Two sizes of slide length address any needed.
What's Included? (1) The SkyRail sliding projector mount, (2) mounting hardware, and (3) a universal projector mount that fits the majority of projectors on the market.
Universal Mounting Options: The included universal projector mount allows for either a (1) Flush ceiling configuration, positioning your golf simulation projector just 5 inches below the ceiling or (2) Telescoping Arms ceiling configuration, allowing the projector to hang from 15.3 inches to 24 inches below the ceiling. The mount includes tilt and swivel adjustments allowing for the perfect image fit and alignment to your golf impact screen.
Compatibility: This sliding golf projector mount can be used with any golf simulator enclosure, projector, or hitting screen. The SkyRail™ attaches to the ceiling using lag screws and/or toggle bolts for a secure and safe installation of your golf simulator projector.
Which Size should I choose?
- Choose the 17 inch track if you order a 4:3 XGA projector or plan to use an HD Projector but never plan to switch between a 4:3 and 16:9/16:10 aspect image.
- Choose the 39 inch track if you are using an HD projector and expect that you will use both the 4:3 and 16:9/16:10 aspect ratios. For example many customers enjoy using their golf simulator for movie nights and thus prefer an HD projector. However, if your golf hitting screen is a 4:3 aspect you will likely prefer the taller 4:3 image when playing golf. (i.e. 10 ft. wide image is only 5’8” tall in 16:9 whereas in 4:3 it is 7’6” tall) With the extended 39 inch SkyRail™ sliding ceiling mount you can enjoy the 4:3 format for golf simulation and then switch to the HD 16:9 format for movies simply by sliding the projector the correct position from the screen.
Optional Upgrades:
- Add the optional ProjectorShield™ Protective Projector Cage to maximize security! This product will protect your projector from ball and club strikes. Learn more about the ProjectorShield for golf simulators here.
