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.

I'd like to order a 15 foot long screen. How do I go about doing this? How long does it take to come in?

[HeelMD]

Screen arrived today! feels pretty heavy duty. unfortunately can't test drive it yet. i mistimed ordering my enclosure components and will have to wait a few days to build it.

thanks dbgolf72 for all your work on this.

Hey Daniel, just sent my label. Excellent Job! Very much appreciated!

[dbgolf72]

Received thank you

[jjkoolman]

dbgolf72 - Just wanted to check if you got my label. Sent on 8/31 contact name Wild West Vacations. Thanks!

[dbgolf72]

I have thank you. Let me know if it’s not tracking by tomorrow

[jjkoolman]

dbgolf72 - you asked to let you know if it wasn't tracking. It's still showing as the label only being printed and hasn't begun traveling yet. I'm not in a rush, just want to make sure it doesn't get lost somewhere! Thanks!

[pwade3]

dbgolf72 just checking you recieved payment on Aug. 25. I'm still in no rush at all so take all the time in the world. I know your a busy guy.

Cheers

[dbgolf72]

Hey sorry I didn’t notice your payment but I just checked it hit the wrong account so I refunded it to you. Please resend payment to maintenance@dekalbfarmersmarket.com and will get your screen cut and packed

[pwade3]

My fault. I should have payed attention to the thread better. I see you have requested to have payment to that addresst all over the place. You were in my paypal contacts from the first screen, so of course I sent it from that. Sorry. It has been sent again correctly. 14 ft please. Thanks again. Cheers

Have tried contacting you through email: maintenance@dekalbfarmersmarket.com but have had no reply.

Could you reply to me : glennd@iinet.net.au just want to check to make sure I have correct email address.


Thanks
Glenn

I just sent you an email

Now that many people have received and are using their screens, is there consensus on whether there is a preferable side? One post a few pages back indicates that the "textured" side is the better side to project to...for those already using their screens...do you all agree with this recommendation?

[Golfgodz]

Hi Daniel,
Fedex was missing the commercial invoice which i included to you in the pdf. The package was stuck in Narcoss GA. I called them and emailed them the info that they needed and somehow the package was sent back to you..... i am trying to figure it out on my end but i keep getting bounced around.....Can you confirm that you have the package?

[dbgolf72]

I’ll check tomorrow

[Mulliganman199]

I would also like to order a 10 X 10 screen if possible. Should I send a direct message?

[dbgolf72]

17.5 per foot. PayPal to maintenance@dekalbfarmersmarket.com
Will post when packed

[Mulliganman199]

Can I change to an 11" screen? Let me know if its too late. I will send the difference of what I paid for already. Let me know when packed and I will send label.

[MSUGOGRN]

Just sent my label. My apologies for the delay but thanks again!

[Thundergolf]

My tracking still not showing shipped

[MyEaglePutt]

Received my screen today, thank again Daniel!

BTW, some FYI... About when I put my name on this list I started building my Sim room doing research purchasing equipment etc... Thought I would have that done a while ago, unfortunately not... However, I also thought I would need a screen way sooner so had bought the SQ-Beta from Par2Pro, still in the box lol... But one of these babies is getting installed this weekend as I'm ready to start installing equipment :-)

So of course first thing after opening is to compare them, very hard to tell the difference so I get out my digital scale and weight them each in the same box and they are 1/10 lb apart, (both same size screen) so thinking this may be the same supplier... Maybe same as Carl's as well... Both very nice quality!

[NovaGolfer]

HI Dan, I just sent you a $210 PayPal payment. I'd like to order 12' of screen please. If you could let me know the dimensions and weight of the package I will send a mailing label promptly.

On a side note - I have just decided to build a simulator and have spent the last several days going through this forum and your thread in particular. Frankly, what you are doing for the community is unbelievable. On behalf of us DIY guys everywhere - Thanks!

[dbgolf72]

Payment received and thanks a lot for the side note you guys are very welcome

Please find attached new list. Pwade did you want 15 ft or 14 ft? if only 14 ft then you overpaid some if 15 ft then you underpaid a little. Jay Brown please advise screen name. If anyone has paid but is not listed here then please advise.
Best,
Daniel

[bob chung]
