Great screen! How to make a PVC frame for it.
This screen is great. I made a frame for it out of 1-1/2" PVC pipe. If anyone wants to do this, here's my measurements for the PVC pipes, which turned out perfect. Here's what you need:
5-10 ft. pipes / 3 elbows / 12 tees / 32 14" zip ties
4 pipes cut to 56-1/4" - top & bottom of screen, 2 each.
3 pipes cut to 65" - L & R sides and 1 back brace
3 pipes cut to 24" - Legs
4 pipes cut to 11-12" - Feet
2 pipes cut to 10" - Back brace (these can be longer, depending on your needs. 10" worked for me.
Save all scraps for leg bottoms
Once everything is sized and cut, assembly takes about 10 minutes! If you're quick, entire frame can be done in 20-25 minutes with cutting and assembly. Another 10-15 minutes to hang the screen with zip ties, less if you have a helper. Look at the pics for elbow and tee placement. Total cost of frame was about $35. A lot of the wrinkles in the screen will disappear as you hang the screen with zip ties. Manufacturer says to allow 3 days for wrinkles to go away. Once we turned on the projector, nobody noticed the wrinkles. Enjoy! We are!
