Doing a garage build. Looking to get some opinions: either mount the screen to the angle iron that will be bolted to the ceiling studs or mount on wall studs and hang the impact screen on the cable. I will have to be able to stow or put the screen away to park a car.
Scenario: Screen will be just over 10ft wide. I have 9.8ft on the left side, 8.5ft on the right side ceiling (should be good enough for right handed golfer). I will need to build some support with angle irons as there is a height ~15.5" difference between the two ceilings to support either angle iron mount or aircraft cable (so aircraft cable won't sag too much)
Angle Iron
pro: no sagging, easy to do as I have ceiling studs marked (covered by drywall)
con: will be harder to put away (will need to sort of roll it and secure with bungees onto the angle iron itself
Aircraft cable
pro: can slide the screen to one side easier
con: aircraft line will be about 19-20ft long, there will be sagging (I can support the screen area with hooks on the ceiling to reduce sagging?)
Attached picture (garage door opener will be replaced with wall mount/jackshaft opener)
