Roll up screen

[Captargo]

i saw the post a few months ago from domino about his roll up screen build.
Has anyone else also built a setup with a roll up screen?
looking to potentially do the same and looking for feedback on things that worked, thinks that didn't work, tweeks to the setup, how the screen is holding up etc.
thanks

I just took the plunge and ordered a sport screen for my roll up style garage build. Thanks for the inspiration.

One question, how long did it take yours to arrive?

I ordered mine Oct 26 and I’m still waiting.

[mikeingp]

I ordered mine on March 21st, it shipped on April 3rd and I received it on April 10th. One day shy of three weeks for delivery to northern Alberta, Canada

[Captargo]

Ordered in summer and took little over four weeks for mine to be delivered. I had purchased a custom solution (longer than 16') so expected it to take a little longer
Sales folks were sometimes slow to respond to follow up emails but if/when you start a dialogue with their production folks, they are great. Very knowledgeable and quick responses.
Seasonal timing may be an issue as well. I was told my order would take a little longer because I was behind a large order placed earlier by one of their larger retail customers ( for hockey)

My sport screen showed up about 3 weeks after my order and they did sew the Velcro on the top for me for no additional fee. I am collecting parts quickly. What material did you all use to protect your ceiling? How much of an issue is bounce back from the ceiling with wedges ect? I was thinking of using the netting in the link here, any thoughts?

I went with a similar set up as mikeingp with a room divider with a curve to provide some protection for my 1965 mustang fastback that lives in the next garage stall (3 car garage) and block out some light. many thanks to him for the inspiration and ideas for my build!

How much did the extra Velcro cost?

[Boerdoc]

nice Mustang. I used baffles made from indoor/outdoor carpet. They hung 12 inches and I had 3 separated one foot apart.

I used this as a baffle just in case of really high launching shots. and you can always find a 20% off coupon for harbor freight. It attaches to my top cross bar and then comes out about 5' and attaches to the ceiling, and then hangs down between these two points. it does not interfere with the projected image.

I used archery netting for the ceiling
very few shots get up into the ceiling netting for me so difficult to comment on bounce back

Do you mind posting a few pictures of how you have this setup. i'm looking to do something like what you've talked about.

Here is my ceiling protection using the mesh tarp from harbor freight. Since i have a peaked roof, i installed a piece of emt parallel to the front of the screen. I used carabiner clips to attach the tarp to the emt and then used plastic clamps to attach the tarp to my top cross bar. The tarp then sags down between these two points to create the ceiling baffle protection.

wbond love what you did with the garage door. Did you diy that? I was thinking of doing the same as apposed to installing a high lift kit

Was thinking of cutting the rails half way through the radius and reattaching - does the opener struggle on an incline - will the door stay not being attached to opener and or did you have to do anything to the tensioner? Any other advice you could give for the unorthodox install?

THANKS!

[wbond]

Miura Mario i had this done by a garage door installer. I saw it on a garage journal forum. It doesn’t seem to have had much impact on the opener, it opens and closes just fine and I don’t hear or see any straining of the motor.. The door stays in place when not attached to the opener and when you raise or lower it, pretty sure that’s handled by the door spring.

[scottiedawg66]

Here is the first stage of my build. 10' sport screen, some curtains and a tarp from harbor freight. I need to work on getting some additional bounce protection for wedge shots. I was thinking of using moving blankets on the backside of my tarp. Any advice there?

I am also curious about a good method for keeping my hitting mat from sliding around?

I had a blast last night hitting shots in the garage until midnight, thanks everyone for all the help. I can already tell night time golf is going to be a blast with my buddies.

Best part is I can roll up the sport screen, retract the curtains and move the floor cover and hitting mat in about 5 minutes and have a fully functional garage.

Do you have to setup the sportscreen in front of the garage door? I'm interested in one but I don't want it by the garage door.

[mikeingp]

I mounted mine near the front of the garage and hit from the door end

[scottiedawg66]

you can mount it anywhere, mine is above the tracks for the door for clearance and mounted on the inside. i am really happy with it.

[scottiedawg66]

well....i was using my sport screen without an impact screen over it since I dont have a projector yet and the driver punched a hole through it. so do not use these without some sort of impact screen on them. that being said, I am really happy with my set up and cant wait to dust off my old projector to see how it looks once the impact screen shows up

[mikeingp]

I did a very similar thing back when I installed my sportscreen. In my case it was a seven iron after I hung the sportscreen but before I installed impact screen...didn't go through but made a deep indent about 1" deep. At the time, I thought to myself "good thing I didn't hit 4 iron or driver as it would have gone through". The indent has slowly faded over the last year and is probably only an 1/8 of an inch or so now.

Same here 2nd driver punched a hole in it, Lessoned learned.
