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.

My recent order in early May, payment and shipment all went very well and quickly! 2 thumbs up!

I ordered, or at least posted that I want to order, a 16x10 on May 4th and even tried emailing since someone was kind enough to share his email. However, to date, I haven't heard one way or another. Does anyone know if he is still processing orders? I have been stuck for a month on my build until I know the screen is on the way as I don't want to start any of my hardware purchases until I am ready for them (don't want to start the warranty w/o being able to test).

Does anyone know where to get a similar high quality screen for a reasonable price? I probably need to move forward with Plan B if I want to get this project finished.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.

Communication is hit or miss. I will say I've bought 2 screens and did receive them, but took several months each time.

I would like to purchase 10'x9' as well (or possibly 10'x16' so I have more screen to play with when I move). I sent him an email but have not heard back either. Understandable that things might be backed up a bit right now.

Just a bit of communication would be nice. I went ahead and purchased elsewhere because my project has been at a standstill for over a month now. Actually have delivery scheduled for this Thursday.
