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 think I'm going to go another route. If anyone wants to purchase my 12ft section let me know. If its ok with dbgolf72 we can have him ship it directly to you.

[Michael Vega]

I will buy it

Hi Daniel

I have sent my label please confirm you have received it.

many thanks for doing this.

[dbgolf72]

got it and yours heading out

[caldiver]

I'm sure this has already been asked so apologies, but:

Where / how are people finishing the raw screen? Are people just doing the work themselves or taking it to another professional service?
I'd like to put grommets at least along the top and ultimately have the screen on a sliding track hanging from my ceiling in the garage so I can slide it out of the way when not in use.

Thanks (especially to @dbgolf72)!!!

[dbgolf72]

Cool glad to help

[caldiver]

Mulliganman199 Did you just call / email them and they gave you a quote? Let me know, thanks!

[Mulliganman199]

Just a call was all it took.. you will need to know how you want it finished Grommet spacing,and your dims... happy hunting

[Michael Vega]

Please let me know if someone backs out. I am interested in buying a screen. Thank you.

[dbgolf72]

Believe slmoore83 wanted to sell his

[mmlincon]

Hi Daniel

I have sent my label let me know if you got it.

Thanks

[jaus]

Hi Daniel, responding to your description of my (last cut) order..... if that is all that is wrong with the fabric I'll go ahead and take it. I am leaving for Brazil for two weeks on Thursday. Would you mind if I don't arrange shipping until I get back?

[dbgolf72]

Not a problem just send the label whenever you would like it shipped.

[mayassa]

Label Sent, Thanks!

[Stackchaser]

Just received my fabric. Thank you so much Daniel for doing this for all of us!
Question as both sides of the fabric appear to be the same. I saw previous posts where the fabric was different on each side. Curious if the new fabric is different as it appears to be the same on both sides.

Thanks!

[dbgolf72]

There is a slight difference. Not sure which side would project a better image have to test it out and let us know.

[dmsimm69]

If anyone has to back out or wants to sell, I'm interested in at least a 12 footer. Thanks!

[wbond]

PM sent to you.

[wbond]

If anyone is still needing a screen let me know. I bought a 16' that is now packaged and ready to ship. I was just getting a backup but really don't need it.

[Michael Vega]

Sent you a pm

[mmlincon]

Hi Daniel

I sent a label a few days ago, did you get it? Haven't got a confirm yet.

[dbgolf72]

I think I got it but might be confused since you bought two screens. Please check if it is tracking shipped or not on the UPS website

[mmlincon]

Yep we are good, it's en-route. Weird I usually get emails from them.

[PUNTE]

Hey Daniel, will you be updating the list for dims with the other screens, or can I just send you a label based on what the dims were for everyone else?

[dbgolf72]

Thanks for the reminder. You can just send same as everyone else. I’m putting yours in the bigger box. But I’ll post final list tomorrow. Sorry about that

[wbond]

dbgolf72 I just wanted to confirm that you have received the shipping label from me.


Just copying Michael since I sold it to him and that is where it will be delivered
Michael Vega

[dbgolf72]

I did see it come through check it tomorrow evening to make sure it’s tracking shipped
