SIG10 Simulator Enclosure vs SIG8 Simulator Enclosure

The Quick Verdict

Get the SIG10 Simulator Enclosure. The extra 2.5 feet of width buys you a meaningfully larger screen — 10'1" wide versus 7'7" — and the price gap at list is $200. For most home simulator builds, that's a reasonable ask for the jump in screen real estate. The SIG8 Simulator Enclosure makes sense if your room genuinely can't fit a frame that's 10 ft 10 in wide, because that's the one thing that would force the decision.

What They Have in Common

These two come from the same brand and share the same DNA. Both include the SIGPRO Premium impact screen, nylon surround, protective foam padding, push-pin poles and connectors, and ball bungees. Both carry the screen's 250 mph ball-speed rating. Both have side barriers built in. Both carry a one-year residential warranty on the screen. And neither one has a published weight or room requirement.

Where They Differ

Screen Size

This is the whole comparison. The SIG10's screen is 10'1" wide by 7'7" tall, with a 12'7" diagonal. The SIG8's screen is 7'7" wide by 7'7" tall — it's square — with a 10'8" diagonal. That's a nearly two-foot difference in diagonal and a two-and-a-half-foot difference in width. So all of the extra screen on the SIG10 is width. The height is identical on both.

Frame Footprint

The SIG10's frame is 10 ft 10 in wide. The SIG8's frame is 8 ft 4 in wide. Both are 8 ft 4 in tall and 5 ft deep. So the width is the only axis where these two differ — the SIG10 is the wider of the two by 2 ft 6 in.

The Depth Question

Both product pages list 5 ft of depth. Both also have a conflicting figure of 13'7" in store data. That discrepancy is The Indoor Golf Shop's, not mine — I'm not going to pick one and call it settled. Measure your room against 5 ft and understand there's a note worth raising with the shop before you build your bay around either number.

Price

The SIG10 lists at $1,999.99. The SIG8 lists at $1,799.99. That's a $200 gap at list for the wider frame and larger screen.

What The Indoor Golf Shop Doesn't Tell You

Neither enclosure comes with a published room requirement. The Indoor Golf Shop does mention that you may need more than a 9 ft ceiling depending on your swing, but that's the extent of it. The frame height is 8 ft 4 in — that is the frame's footprint, not a room spec. How much total room a swing needs is something you'll have to sort out yourself, probably by measuring your space with ceiling height, distance behind the mat, and side clearance all accounted for. The Indoor Golf Shop doesn't give you those numbers.

Who Should Buy Which

Get the SIG10 Simulator Enclosure if:

• Your room is wide enough to accommodate a 10 ft 10 in frame with clearance on both sides
• You want the largest possible screen for sim play and the $200 difference at list doesn't move the needle
• You're using a wider-format simulator software setup where screen width matters for the experience

Get the SIG8 Simulator Enclosure if:

• Your space is tight on width — 8 ft 4 in versus 10 ft 10 in is a real difference in a garage bay that's already snug
• You primarily use the enclosure for ball striking practice rather than full sim play, where the square screen format works fine
• You want to trim $200 at list and put it toward something else in the build

The Bottom Line

Both enclosures are built the same way, come with the same kit, and carry the same screen rating. The SIG10 is $200 more at list and gives you a screen that's two and a half feet wider. In a simulator context, that difference is visible every time you play. The depth discrepancy in The Indoor Golf Shop's own data is worth a call to the shop before ordering either one, and room planning is on you since they don't publish requirements for either model.
