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.

Same. Full purchase price sent 8 days ago....no word on cut/pack and needing a label.

I've been on there for over a month. Just a little slow moving; he hasn't been online in 2 weeks.

I've now purchased and received the screen 4x without issue. Just need to be patient, pretty sure he's running a big operation at that farmers market.

I see quite a few people asking about their boxes and if I have received their labels. I have received a few labels for screens that aren't packed. If you don't see dimensions next to your name it hasn't been packed please do best to be patient we should finish cutting and packing the rest tonight. Others have asked about labels for screens that are already packed. It's challenging because in some of your posts I cant figure out who is who because I don't have your screen names on the list I have your real names. Whenever you are asking about your package please reference the name on the list so I can research quickly. So far I found labels for Ron Hornbaker, Balen HMG, and McKenna and I will get these packages rolling ASAP. Besides these three people who else has sent a label for a package that has not been shipped yet? Please advise.

Sorry for the recent delay.

Best,

Daniel

Hi Daniel - appreciate if can advise as above so I can close out final payment to then cut and print label etc.

Cheers

Daniel - above relates to Patrick Sullivan

Thanks

[dbgolf72]

Hey Patrick ok sorry I should have recognized yours! I received a deposit for 17.74 feet and wasn’t sure what size to cut for you. Please advise and if necessary cover any short amount. If you paid extra by mistake let me know how much to send you back.

Hey, I sent my label to you a couple of weeks ago too... Ryan Rakickas. I'll send it again now

[dbgolf72]

Received it now thank you for resending it.

[Stevely]

dbgolf72 : Hey it’s Steve Lee. I really appreciate all the work you’re doing. I was one of the first ones to order and see that my screen has been cut but it hasn’t been packed for some time now. Am I missing something in terms of fees or is there another reason my screens aren’t ready to be shipped?

[dbgolf72]

sorry to have overlooked this Steve

[CBDBOZ]

DBGOLF72 - pls let me know how much extra I need to pay to get the 18ft ordered, so I can pay and send label. Order is under Patrick Sullivan.

Many Thanks

[dbgolf72]

ill cover the difference and put you in for 18 ft

[MikeAa]

Hey DB,
Confirming I'm good with the 12.5' although ordered 13', Kelley Aagesen. Anxious for box size and weight to send shipping label. Thanks for again for your hard work!

[Scottie]

Hi dbgolf72... I would like to purchase a 10x17 portion of the premium impact screen. How do I get involved? Thanks, Scottie 404-307-0778

[dbgolf72]

sent you a text

Scottie—

Read up a few pages, maybe even 10 or 20. You’ll find a detailed post about what he needs. There’s a PayPal account to send deposit to (although I paid in full, rather than make two transactions). Include the size and your handle here and your real name on the PayPal payment. Then you’ll show up on his list, waiting for yours to be cut and packed.

When your name on his list has a box size and weight, at that point you send a pre-paid mailing label from your carrier of choice to a different email address (also listed in earlier posts). He prints it, slaps it in your box and sends it.

At least that’s how I understand it to work. Anybody care to chime in?

Also, be patient!!!

[Scottie]

Thank you 968Cab!
