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.

dbgolf72 Mine is a 16x10, and I need to get it shipped to the uk, any recommendations on which courier to use? I assume I'll need to know the package weight / dimensions to be able to get a shipping quote? Thanks for all the effort in sorting all this out for us all

So how do we make a shipping label without dimensions? Do we go through FedEx, UPS, or USPS? Curious how you guys are going about this.

[shimonko]

I just did it in Photoshop, made pdf of appropriate size. I found FedEx's label creator painful.

I'm using myus.com to ship to Australia, far cheaper, and they only go by weight. Weight per square yard can be found in dbgolf's post from a day or two ago. They also have a 30 day free trial, where you can combine the shipping with other goodies so you may wish to take advantage of Black Friday sales!

[Tommyseb]

So I just signed up to myus.com, I paid on UPS for shipping from dbgolf72 to my myUs address in Florida, will they automatically forward it to me and charge me based on my shipping preferences, I looked over the site and it’s not immediately apparent to me how to create a shipment, there’s lots of stuff about using the stores affiliated with myus.com but not about using them as a forward agent, how did you do it?

[costby]

DBGOLF72, You are to be praised and thanked on a regular basis. 42 Pages reading every post in the last 4 hours and understanding everything. I want in on the next order but looks to be about 3-5 months out. Put me on the list? where is the new list going? Everyone who has bought the screen can you all post pics, I have seen some and even some retailers wanted a shot. Interestingly enough I saw a beta material advertised on a site we are all familiar with and am wondering if it's the same as were ordering here for a double the price? I need something now thou anyone with suggestions to last me till the next order. dimensions of 15x10.

Thanks for sourcing the fabric for us.

So how do we make a shipping label without dimensions? Do we go through FedEx, UPS, or USPS? Curious how you guys are going about this.

Anyone know this worked last time? As Daniel requests payment first, label after, I'm confused if:

a) continental shipping is included in /foot rate, or
b) we do a second PayPal after shipping cost is known, or
c) we arrange shipping and have it picked up from Daniel, or
d) we arrange shipping and Daniel delivers to depot.

c) and d) don't sound right as we don't know where it's being sent from.

[shimonko]

Also PayPal: "Send to Friends and Family" rather than "Pay for Goods", correct, otherwise Daniel gets hit with fees.

Guys hey sorry yes payment first and standby on the label because I should provide everyone with correct box dimensions and weight before you guys send me a label. Some have sent labels already and if based on last shipment box size and weight approx 15 lbs it should work just fine because I will use the same type boxes.

[dbgolf72]

Shimonko to answer your question I give you weight and dimensions of your box. You send me a label and I ship it with FedEx or ups.
