Buy Impact Screen Fabric Directly from Mill

[dbgolf72]

As a cost sensitive person attempting to build a high quality simulator, I realized purchasing the correct impact screen is critical to both the simulator's overall performance and it's price tag. It should be affordable, durable, seamless, impact resistant, have minimal bounce back, low noise, and display HD quality images.

West Coast Netting, Par2Pro, Foresight, Carl's Place and others listed in various forum threads all sell screens but none actually manufacture them. Buying second hand increases cost and my goal to buy the highest quality materials at the best possible price can only be accomplished by purchasing direct from the mill that manufacturers the fabric.

After plenty of research I found the mill that's manufacturing the impact screen fabric for Foresight, Carl's Place and others. The mills highest quality impact screen fabric is a heavyweight knit polyester sold only in 120 inch x 40 yard rolls. The raw material costs $56/yard without shipping.

40 yards is clearly too much material for my simulator so I'm looking to get a group of us on the forum to split a roll.

Please advise any interest or questions.

Is it $56 per linear yard or $56 per square yard?

[CBDBOZ]

I think Cbdboz got erased by mistake?

I received approx freight pricing already and am visiting a finisher the beginning of next week. So, should be able to calculate pricing beginning of next week as well.

Thanks for noticing... I will add myself back in on next post 😉

Yes,12 ft raw would be 4 linear yards.

Cbdboz, believe you mean 13 ft x 10 ft. not 13 x 13?

Before I will commit to buying, I would like to have some feedback about this screen material. For example, who is using this screen now and what are the reviews? What is the history about its durability? Does it tear easily? While it is nice to be caught up in its pricing, do we really know what we are getting. I am not trying to be a spoiler here, just being cautious.

[mthunt]

Do you guys have a price yet? Where is it shipping from?

[domino]

I would be interested in a different finishing option if available. Could you ask your finisher if they are willing to customize?

[dbgolf72]

Yes they can customize. I just visited them today nice facility. Waiting on numbers should have price tomorrow. They can sew velcro on to it as well. What do you want to customize?
