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.

This is will work for everyone except Ports 23 ft monster screen. I will find a special box for that one and advise. there was also a couple guys who wanted to combine shipping I'll have to find a special box for that one too.

Blairdarst when are u coming to pick up?

the ones that need to go to finisher I'll take next week.

Will keep cutting over the weekend and send more weights on Monday.

I am FD today and hope to be there tomorrow, although the time your there is so late in the day with the bridge being out on 85 makes it difficult to get there and get home at a reasonable hour with kids activities in the evening. I will shoot you a text later this evening. Last week's storms caused havoc on my schedule.

Andygg sorry you can disregard weight if u want. just realized you wanted to do combined shipping. And that is just for your screen packed. If u decide to go out alone just send me a label if not I'll look for a box that can work for you and your buddy.

DB - Thanks for getting this done, much appreciated. What's the weight on my 16 ft piece? I tried to extrapolate based on the above postings and lengths, but I didn't want to short you.

If you're short and UPS catches it, they'll adjust your bill. I believe they round up to the nearest pound anyway, so I can't imagine you'll be that far off overall.

Ok, what do we do? How do we send you a label? Can someone explain?

You can go to FedEx or UPS website and set up an online account and then create a shipping label... or you probably could just go into one of their local stores and give them the info and have them print it for you then you mail it to dbgolf

Label sent via PM and email. Thanks for doing this.

Really looking forward to the new screen. My supertex is looking quite ragged in the hitting area.
