Title: screen material
Post by: jackpilot on January 05, 2011, 08:04:17 AM
My sim is my bedroom for the winter months . I set up a 4X8 Screen with one short throw proj, as a temporary visual, getting an 8 feet image which is more than enough now.

Just to tell you that I used a full sheet of Coroplast. Feather light, very bendable, solid white.
All for CAD 17.00.
I just taped it on an aluminum rod and hang it from the ceiling with twine.
Coroplast, which I used too for the Glareshield underwing in black is like corrugated cardboard but all plastic.

Looks really good  Jack.

I've seen this material (or a similar one), however in smaller pieces only. Where did you buy the big sheets? Home Depot?

Home Depot doesn't carry it and won't order it, at least here in the midwest.

Try a sign place. They use that material all the time.

Bought it at my local hardware BMR.
Best is to check the site and ask for dealers where you are. ??
