golf simulator guys sensor cutout mat for optishot
still have issues with the turf ripping. Pics are from after one swing. Bret is going to work on this and get a new mat out to me right away. Believe they are going to reinforce their mats with more adhesive. They did do a pretty good job with some innovative ideas for covering the font censor. You can see it in one pic where they have a flap cut that attaches via Velcro to the end of the DD. This eliminated the initial problem I had with the turf tearing due to hitting down through the impact zone.

For what it is worth, sort of related but not. My home is a sip panel home with a flat rooftop deck that is also the sip panels ( when the county building dep't saw the plans, their comment was that a helicopter could land on it and the beams underneath are spaced 11 ft apart). Sip panels are primarily styrofoam some laminated with osb -- a wood pulp strand board on each side but mine happen to be galvanized sheet metal on each side. as long as there is protection around the styrofoam, the strength is incredible (home is rated for 150 mph winds here in FL ) my suggestion would be to use a thin skin of plywood either 1/4" on each side or possibly even go down to hollow core door skins. Glued with contact cement to the foam it will be light and should hold up very well.
