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.

FedEx label sent. Thank you.

Daniel,
I'm ready to send a label for my 10ft. Looks like you packed a bunch but not that one (Mark Casey). Can I assume the same box/weight as other 10 footers? thanks, Mark

[Shaile84]

I have a suggestion for this thread. I’m new to the forum and I think others like me would appreciate if the original thread post were to be edited to include the current process for requesting a screen,including emails to use, from address for shipping labeling etc. I’ve had to dig through 100+ pages of posts and rely on the kindness of others who have recently purchased to figure out what I should do since I haven’t been around from the start.

i know this has to take a ton of work on your side Daniel and it is very much appreciated. I’m all for making it easy on you, just need to know better how to make that happen.

As for me, I’ll be getting you a label shortly. Hoping someone, or yourself, can tell me what address to use as the “from” address.

Hi dbgolf72 I have just sent the UPS label for Bruce Bleaman. Thanks so much. WoodlandHills

Thanks Jon.

Hi Daniel - is there enough left for a 14 footer? Thanks so much for doing this!

[Wonko]

Hi Daniel - I sent a PayPal payment for 14' to maintenance@dekalbfarmersmarket.com and emailed you the Fedex label for Chris Leary - Shrewsbury, MA to DBGolf72@yahoo.com. Thanks so much!

[968Cab]

I found some older threads discussing which side of the direct from mill screen is best for picture quality...dated early 2018. I *think* the version of the screen Daniel ships now may be different, but wanted to ask. Is there a preferred side to this latest batch? I can't really tell a difference by feel or visually. Thanks!

I could be wrong, but I think he draws the line on the back. so if you can see the line for where he cuts it that is the back. It's really not clear though, they are different, but not sure it matters all that much.

[mliteford]

Daniel, I sent a PayPal payment for 12' to maintenance@dekalbfarmersmarket.com and did i understand to wait until the it is packed before sending the shipping label to DBGolf72@yahoo.com?
Thank you very much for doing this. Klint

[Smudge7204]

i'm guessing this has been answered somewhere along the line but does anyone know if DB ships to Canada?

[968Cab]

I don’t want to answer for Daniel, but you set up the shipping and pre-pay yourself, so I don’t think it would be an issue.

Any headaches (customs, taxes, etc) would occur on your end, either while setting it up online or upon delivery, I’d guess

[dbgolf72]

you are correct thanks for the help

[GA_Golfer]

Hi Daniel,
I sent you a PayPal payment for 14 feet. Thanks!

Jeremy

[TXANM]

Payment sent for 14'x10' screen

Hi Daniel - wondering if it’s too late to change my order from 14’ to 15’? Please let me know and I will PayPal the extra $. Thanks again for doing this for us! -Chris Leary, Shrewsbury, MA

[dbgolf72]

not too late please send missing amount
