  • Buy Impact Screen Fabric Directly from Mill

    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.

  • Daniel, I'd like to order a 14-foot screen if there's material left. I've just PayPal'd you for $245.

    I have material for about 4 more screens. First come first serve. payments to maintenance@dekalbfarmersmarket.com 17.50 per foot. Once I receive the last 4 orders I'll cut and pack the last roll.

    I have a screen with one side that has a horizontal line through it. Its a production defect. Was going to dump it believe its 18 ft but if anyone wants it for 10.00 per foot let me know.

    Best,

    Daniel Blazer
    Payment sent!

      • dbgolf72 I would be interested in taking a second screen from you...roughly 12 wide. Let me know if you still have materials. I still have yet to send money for shipping on first screen so I would love to combine shipping if possible. Thanks

        • dbgolf72 Hey Daniel, I'll take another 16x10 if you still have it, looks like they are going quick. I'll wait to hear back from you before sending payment.

          • For Davisr and mmlincon it will be close but should have enough. If you guys want to go ahead and send payment it will reserve your spot. If for some reason I run short ill refund payment. After these two payments please don’t send anymore payments until I know if I have anymore left. Thanks Guys

                  Cool thanks for letting me know. Let me know how you like it

              • My apologies...I haven't been on here since earlier in the year. Is there enough left to get a 12x10?

                • dbgolf72 please let me know if you ever plan on another order. I think this is absolutely outstanding what you're doing for everyone.

                  I'd be looking for a 12 x 10 more than likely
