  • 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.

  • Hey Daniel,

    Thanks again for driving this whole process!!!

    So for now, are you not taking new orders until sometime in the future when you have enough interest and confirmed payments to fill a whole new roll of fabric?

    It's still not 100% clear to me (and likely others just getting up to speed on this thread) how this whole process works (e.g., do people just post here what they want? do they need to fill out a spreadsheet? when do they send you payment / shipping label?). It'd be great if you could edit the first / original post with the steps involved.

      • Can anyone else sending a label help coordinate a pickup time with Daniel? When is a good time and do UPS/FedEx/USPS all pick up?

                • I will purchase a 16x10 or 14x10 if anyone backs out or there is material left over. Thanks.
                  dbgolf72 I have also sent you an email regarding same.

                  Also, I am obviously new here with this being my first post. How do I tag someone(such as dbgolf72) in a post? I see people doing this above but could not figure it out.
