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.

Best,
Daniel

Hi Daniel, This is Gerard Holland. I wanted 15'. I noticed that the payment was short because of the Paypal fee. I just sent another $10.00 payment to cover the screen cost and fees. Thank you sir.

[dbgolf72]

[calebm1001]

dbgolf72 - is there more screen left? Please let me know! looking for 10x12-16. Anything you got.

[Rhino]

Daniel, any status on shipping my 17x10 ordered on 18-Sept? my screen name is Rhino (Willie McClinton). You acknowledged receiving my shipping label, but I haven’t received the item or any update from FedEx with package info.

[dbgolf72]

I just sent you an e-mail and a pm I'm on this. Sorry for the trouble

[TXANM]

For those that have created shipping labels already and received a screen, did you select to have it picked up or did you select to drop it off at a UPS store?

Please if you don't see a length assigned to your name let know what size you want bc I can't tell from your deposit amount.

I have received a lot of messages asking for material. Right now I'm going figure out how much I have left in order to make sure I can take care of those who have already paid then next step will be to figure out the best way for me to handle the demand and keep everyone happy. Its a lot of work but comments like this one "Daniel, My impact screen arrived today. Exactly as advertised with is a GREAT quality screen at a stupidly low price. Thank you so so much." keep me going and we will find the best way to continue this project and make our material available to everyone

[SimGolfer123]

Daniel, 

I apologize, I thought I sent the PayPal money as "Family and Friends" but I guess I didn't.  My apologies.  I have sent an additional $10 to cover the shortage and would like a 16' piece.  I will email you a shipping label once I get the size and weight. Thanks again for everything you do!

Robert

I think I'm going to order a screen too. I'll wait until you give the ready for business alert. Probably 9 x 9 or 10 feet finished. This looks like a lot of work for you, so thanks, I appreciate your efforts and would like to throw an extra $20 or so extra with my order to help the cause, (or, you know, buy you lunch or a beer or two), if that's not too presumptuous..

I'll monitor the thread and do an order after you figure out where you're at.
cheers,
trhuke

[trhuke]

Dewey, somewhere in this thread there is a chart/list of costs for raw, finished with edges and grommets and one other variety. Can't tell you exactly where but it is in the thread. Good hunting!
(I just went backwards through the pages and got to page 60 and haven't seen the price list but I know it is in here somewhere. But not between page 60 onward... (Tried to save you some searching...)

[trhuke]

Dewey, try page 7 of this thread for pricing although I'm not sure if that is up to date..

[Dewey]

Thanks trhuke, I was scrolling back from 60 and got to 30 when you posted this, lol
