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.

Still haven't received my screen. Anybody received theirs yet?

[Yahtzee]

Received mine. Send my label on Thursday had it on Tuesday. Thanks again Daniel!

[Golfbeat]

Good for you! Sent my label on July 30. Have not received anything.

dbgolf72 Is this screen double sided? Meaning is it the sen on both sides or is there a front and back.

Also I am curious if Danile or anyone else has ever spray a protectant, like 3M's protectant to help with cleaning off dirt and ball marks?
Seems like a great idea but not sure if it effects picture quality or performance or anything.

I created a new Thread just for that so it will be easier to find and benefit others:
Spray On Impact Screen Protection

Thanks Guys!

It’s double sided one side will be better for projection though.

I havent had issues with having to clean the screen but maybe I don’t use it enough. Some guys steam it.

[gette]

Thanks dbgolf72! Is there a way to tell which side is the better image side?

They look pretty damn similar.

Maybe the one side seems it might have a very slightly more linear pattern. But hard to still folded up in the box. lol

Im interested in getting 14x10, have some left? Also, this is raw, how hard to connect grommets?

[dbgolf72]

Raw in order to finish the screen I can recommend you use Ga stage, LLC

Any Canadians ... or any other non-US for that matter... How are you paying for your shipping label? I've tried all the carriers, and the story is the same... it won't let me pay with a Canadian credit card. Won't let me use my PayPal either!! I'm shipping from Daniel to a US address, so it's not even an international shipment. Am I missing something obvious?

I shipped a screen from dbgolf on the last order and I just went to internation shipping from my account. I was able to do it but it was not smooth. In your case, you will have to open an american account. I did that so I could ship shoes from Phoenix to Bandon Dunes. I had to call them because they wanted my home address in the US which of course I don't have. That went smoothly. Lol. I tried it from my Canadian account and it would not allow me.

[gnomike]

That's exactly what I was hitting up against. Thanks for the tip. I'll try calling them, and if that doesn't work I have a cousin in the US who will loooove giving me his CC number lol. Thanks!

[Golfgodz]

i just sent my label bud.. please let me know if you need anything else.
Thank you again for all your hard work!!

[dbgolf72]

Geo, someone made a post about which side they liked better I’d agree they both look similar.

[gette]

Thanks Daniel. I will try to find the post.

[dbgolf72]

For everyone asking me about when next batch of screens will be ready to ship. I’ll try to finish and post updated list Thursday evening. Worst case Saturday. For now if anyone has sent a label in for a screen that is packed and it has not shipped please let me know.

[Geoffre14]

Yes Daniel I believe I might fall into that category. I have resent label to imports@dekalbfarmersmarket.com in case. Thank you.

[Golfbeat]

Sent label on July 30. Have not received the screen yet.

[dbgolf72]

Golfbeat yours was not packed until today. Now that it’s packed it will go tomorrow. Geoffre14 yours will also go tomorrow. Thanks for your patience
