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.

Hey Daniel, Just wanted to make sure I don't get a 14.55 ft piece and a separate .46 FT piece. As I am on the list in 2 different places.
Timothy Griffin
Thanks Daniel

U won’t just look in column where it says size to cut.

For everyone sending labels please make sure to send labels in pdf format.

Hi just paid for 12 x 10. Thanks so much!

Hi Daniel, I am down for 18 feet but its showing at 17.74 based on a $314.40 payment per your schedule.

Had paid $325 to cover the $315 ($17.5 x 18ft) plus $9.50 fees. If doesn’t cover, can you let me know how much I owe to make it 18 foot and I can pay the remainder - I’m guessing I got fees wrong

Cheers & Thanks again.

Trying to get my shipping label tonight and I have never had to do this before so just trying to make sure I am doing it right. So any guidance is greatly appreciated!

Ship From:
3000 East Ponce de Leon Ave.
Decatur, GA 30030

Ship To:
My Address
Tx, 76227

Dimensions:
Length = 23
Width = 16
Height = 11
Weight = 13 lbs.

It is asking me for shipping date/time - Not sure what to put here ?? I do not see an option to leave it blank.

Lastly .. its pricing is close to $50 (USPS) so it was making me think I am doing something wrong?

I am guessing once I pay then it will give me an option to save the shipping label to PDF format and then I can email it?

Thanks again and sorry for my ignorance on this!

[Burtgolf]

I went on and used UPS and just emailed you the label in PDF format.

Shipping Label emailed to you - pdf format - today July 15th -

[dbgolf72]

Thank you Great to hear! Enjoy!

For those who have created & sent the labels, which carrier did you use (which one is cheaper option: FedEx, UPS or USPS, etc)? Thank you.

[wzjy47]

I used UPS...I did a search and found a 20-30% (I can't remember the exact amount) off coupon code, so it was ~$33 to Ohio...

[Phoenix01]

Thank you, wzjy47, the coupon is a really good idea. Thank you.

Please find updated list. I only updated which new ones have been cut and packed. New payments haven't updated yet. I've been a little slow on packing because waiting for the correct box. I have now will post updated list this week with more news.
Best,

Total nob here. How do I go about creating a shipping label?
Thanks
Kev

[Burtgolf]

@Improved700

I had the same question and just went on my own and Daniel was able to make it work without any issues

I just did this:

Ship From:
3000 East Ponce de Leon Ave.
Decatur, GA 30030

Ship To:
Your Address
Your State, Your Zip Code

I do not know your name on the list so fill these in as needed from the list that Daniel provided:

Your Dimensions:
Length = xx
Width = xx
Height = xx
Weight = xx lbs.

I searched USPS, UPS and Fed Ex and UPS was the cheapest option at the time.. you will have to search for your best option and email your label in PDF format to Daniel and he takes care of the rest!!

[Stevely]

Great thnx Daniel!
