Start with the enclosure’s height, then check the space for your swing. The FunJain Pro Series is listed at 9.8 ft tall, so it cannot fit beneath a 9 ft ceiling. The Lite Edition is listed at 8.9 ft tall, leaving just 1.2 in of nominal clearance under a level, unobstructed 9 ft ceiling. That is a close fit, not a guarantee. Measure your actual installation area before ordering.
Compare the Enclosure Heights
The outside height of the enclosure is the first limit. A swing test cannot make an enclosure fit beneath a ceiling that is lower than the product.
| Model | Listed height | Under a 9 ft ceiling |
|---|---|---|
| Pro Series | 9.8 ft (approx. 3.0 m) | Does not fit |
| Lite Edition | 8.9 ft (approx. 2.7 m) | Measure carefully |
The Pro Series needs more than 9.8 ft of clear height at its installation point. The Lite Edition is shorter, but 9 ft minus 8.9 ft equals only 0.1 ft, or 1.2 in. Allow additional clearance for the real installation conditions; do not plan a purchase around that small nominal difference alone.
Measure the Installation Space
Measure floor to the lowest obstruction across the entire enclosure footprint, not just at one convenient point. Check the space with the garage door in the position you will use during practice.
- Mark where the enclosure would stand and confirm its required width and depth against the current product dimensions.
- Measure clear height at several points, including corners and the center. Check door tracks, the opener, lights, beams and shelves.
- Account for anything placed beneath the enclosure and for any slope or unevenness in the floor.
- If the available height is close to the listed enclosure height, contact us with your measurements before ordering.
A 9 ft Ceiling Is Not 9 ft of Clear Space Everywhere
The Lite Edition’s nominal 1.2 in margin can disappear where a rail, fixture or raised surface overlaps its footprint. Measure the actual location.
Check Your Swing Clearance
Enclosure clearance and swing clearance are separate checks. The enclosure’s height determines whether the structure fits. Your swing clearance depends on the ceiling, obstacles and any part of the enclosure above your hitting position. It cannot be calculated simply by subtracting the enclosure height from the garage height.
- Identify the intended ball position using the enclosure dimensions and the space required by your mat and launch monitor.
- Check the overhead and side clearance at that position, including the garage door and tracks when open.
- Before hitting a ball, rehearse the full swing path slowly with the club you intend to use. Have someone observe from a safe distance; video can help you review close calls.
- If any part of the club could reach a ceiling, fixture, rail or enclosure frame, move the hitting position or use a different club or space. Do not rely on a shortened practice swing to prove a full swing is safe.
Player height alone cannot predict the result. Club length, swing plane, mat thickness and hitting position all matter. Also verify the floor space and the distance required by your specific launch monitor before setting up.
Pro Series or Lite Edition?
| Feature | Pro Series | Lite Edition |
|---|---|---|
| Listed size | 13.1 ft W × 9.8 ft D × 9.8 ft H | 9.8 ft W × 8.9 ft D × 8.9 ft H |
| Under a 9 ft ceiling | No | Possible only after careful measurement |
| Material | Reinforced PVC | Oxford fabric |
| Inflation | Check current product instructions | Continuous airflow; blower stays on during use |
| Ball use | Product page describes high-speed driver shots | Confirm approved ball type and shot speed with FunJain before use |
For a garage with a true 9 ft ceiling, the Pro Series is too tall. The Lite Edition is the only one of these two models whose listed height is below 9 ft, but its small nominal margin still requires an installation check. If you intend to hit full-speed shots with real balls, confirm the Lite Edition’s approved use with FunJain before purchase; the screen description alone is not a ball-use rating.

The Takeaway
Check three things before ordering: the enclosure’s outside dimensions, clear space across its intended footprint, and the full swing path at your hitting position. At 9 ft, the Pro Series does not fit. The Lite Edition needs careful measurement and enough room for the rest of your setup.
