    Hanging Sportscreen From Pitched Ceiling

    I was told that the Sportscreen cannot be hung from a pitched ceiling, unless you use special brackets. I would think a person could build something to attach to the ceiling so the sportscreen could hang from a flat surface. My question is if anyone has done this and can weigh in? I don't want to go this route if there is something I am missing.

    You may get more movement in the screen after shots since the top will have play but if you bungee the bottom or sides it wouldn't be much more than a normal screen.

        Here is the thread. You can see the pitch of the roof in the pics. There is a small cup at one end that attaches to the bracket, just clock that side and then the other side with the crank, you clock that too when mounting to the bracket. It can be done.
        Now onto my 4th iteration of a simulator setup. I had been looking for a way to go from the 4:3 setup I had to a 16:9 setup and when the sportscreen went on sale, I decided to jump on it. There were also a few issues with my current setup that I wanted to address, mainly access to attic, no left handed players and not fully
