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'm having an issue with the shipping label living in Canada. For those of you that live outside of the US, how do you pay for the shipping label if you do not have a US address ? I've tried with FedEx and USPS and doesn't take my credit card or paypal account since I do not have a US address. Thanks in advance for the help.

Also living in Canada and had some trouble... i created an account on the "Canadian" FedEx website (https://www.fedex.com/ca_english/index.html) linked my credit card info to the account and created the label after... Seemed to work fine.

Hope this helps!

Perfect, to be clear, creating an account with the Canadian FedEx site allows you the select the "From or Departure" address in the United States ? I thought it would have limited the departure in a Canadian location only. Thanks for your help and quick response.

Might seem like an ignorant question, but want to do it right. When creating UPS label do I schedule a pickup day at the farmers market, or do I choose that it will be brought to a store?

[Indygolfer]

Never mind. I found the answer on page 7 of the thread. Looks like it will be brought to the ups store for shipment

Not sure if anyone else got the new screen up yet but I did over the weekend and they are phenomenal. I was pretty surprised by the thickness of the material. It’s almost like it’s a thin foam that has 2 screen type material glued to it. Nonetheless, the picture is superb and the bounce back is 10times better than my prior SuperTex screen. Ended up finishing it off with a border around the sides and top and wow, it looks legit now. I’ll post pics later. I glued 3in strips of carpet runner to the screen to use as my fluffy side for velcro. Then glued the hook Velcro strips to the back of the 2ft wide carpet runners and stuck them on the edges and attached the other end to ceiling and side walls. Those now stop balls from hitting the EMT. I do need to get a wedge for the bottom bar still for worm burners.

Huge thanks to DBGolf.

[mp1972]

That's great news! I received mine over the weekend, but haven't had a chance to hang it yet. It's definitely thick! Can't wait to check it out.

[Kent]

What kind of glue did you use to attach the carpet pieces to the screen?

[cooke23]

Fabri-Tac glue from Kohl’s or most fabric stores. I’ll post picture below since it won’t let me post picture inside a comment.

The last 14 ft piece has sold already. For those wondering what's next.. we will get feedback from everyone after they hang their screens to see if we need to improve anything before we do another run. Then if the interest is there we go for another one.
