    Need Help! Correct screen size for build

    Hey guys, I haven’t posted in a minute. Life gets in the way and I haven’t been able to get to build my simulator like I’ve wanted to. I’m finally to the point of ordering a screen and I need help with the correct size to fit my room. I’ve attached a pic to show my screen enclosure as well as 2 other pics to show the idea I have.

    the enclosure is 180” wide X 110” tall. I would like a finished screen that I can zip tie on all 4 corners and the top part of it and then I will bungee the sides to keep a nice even screen with no ripples.

    I could use advice on the size screen I might need to fit correctly in my enclosure as well as the top of the line screen. Any recommendations are appreciated!

    Thanks guys!!

    I suggest going with a screen larger then your frame and not worrying about exact measurements. You can fold over one side when you are attaching the bungees. Then when you inevitably punch a hole in the screen, you move the fold to the other side and shift the hole away from the impact location. Up to you though.

    Also zip ties are an odd choice for the corners. Either they're tight and restrict the bungees flexing, or they're loose and do nothing.

      I would only add the zip ties in the 4 corners and make them tight. The surrounding would be bungees to let everything else flex on the screen.
