    Looking for a lower cost impact screen

    I am upping my simulator build. I just got a free 3,000lm projector and I need to get an impact screen. I will probably hang the impact screen in front of or behind my net. Some of these screens can get really expensive and are probably more than I need. Any recommendations on a reasonably priced screen? I would not mind getting material only and cutting to size. I see some stuff on Ebay, but I'm not sure what is quality and what is junk.

    I current hang the impact net with a cable, the sheet is just to keep the ball from punching more holes in my wall.

    Would probably occasionally use the area for kid movies/sports.

      After seeing everything from $70 to $850 for a 9w 8h sheet... I ran to a local Joann Fabrics and got white "blackout cloth" for $20. Its 70%poly 30%cotton.
      Have only put a few hundred balls into it, we shall see.

        I might sound like a broken record, but Carl’s standard from the clearance is a home run. I got my 12x8 for $104. About 2-3 k shots into it and still looks great. Also, doubles as a movie screen.
