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.

dbgolf72, I reviewed the thread where we can make a payment to paypal at maintenance@dekalbfarmersmarket.com. I just wanted to make sure you had enough material for a 15' screen before I make the payment. Please confirm and I can make the payment today. Thank you very much.

[dbgolf72]

I have enough to cover the 15 ft

Thanks, Daniel. I made my payment today for 16'. My full name is Daniel Nuckolls. Let me know packing details so I can send you a packing label. I really appreciate your help and efforts.

Hello,
I was wondering which side is best for image quality of this screen?

See post 1459.1

I just joined the forum as I'm starting to build my SIM room. I'd like "in" on this purchase if there's still available product. Do you have product available or are you waiting for a new shipment? I'm in need of 14 ft. As I understand it, if there's product available, (1) I send 14 times $17.50 or $245 to maintenance@dekalbfarmersmarket.com via PayPal along with my forum name and real name, (2) I wait for you to let me know that the product is packed along with the box dimensions and weight and (3) I send you a prepaid shipping label via any service of my choice. From the list, it looks like a 3 months process. If I'm very quick on my steps, what do you think the current time is? Please let me know if that's still an option. Thanks

[dbgolf72]

you have all the steps correct. I still have material so send the deposit when you get a chance and will get you on the list.

[WoodlandHills]

Hi dbgolf72 it's very obviuos to me that you're both a "good guy" and honest and you're offering a GREAT deal. That's why I just send you the $245. My only sincere request is that I need the screen within 4 weeks, 5 at the outside. I trust you can do that. Please!

[968Cab]

Any updates? Name/paid/size at bottom of list. Just need a box size/weight so I can send my label....

Thanks.

What he said

[Stevely]

Does anyone have dbgolf72’s contact? I ordered mine back on June 11 and haven’t been able to reach him or seen any progress on my order from ‘Cut’.

[mark68025]

I'm wondering the same thing. Been patiently waiting and grateful for what he is doing, but haven't received a single response to any of my questions or requests for an update.

[Marcusma]

Same here for me also. I'm sure he is busy with his real job (I hope) for the lack of communication.

[Rizzo777]

11.5 ft is what I need thanks - Brandon

[WoodlandHills]

Hi dbgolf72 I was looking at what service to use to send you a shipping label, once you are ready for that. UPS requires a "from" mailing address. I know that you're in Georgia but I cannot locate your "from" address. Please send that along

[968Cab]

Check post #1401 on page 94 of this thread.

[968Cab]

Thanks Daniel. Label will be there waiting in the morning!

[mark68025]

dbgolf72 - Just emailed you my shipping label. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks for the help!
