DIY is great when you save money, works and most importantly should not look as if it was DIY. This DIY screen you have built is more expensive than the real thing, the material is no good as it's clearly translucent and most of the light from the projector pass through and not reflect, thus loosing a lot of lumens and looks clearly like DIY piece of s**t.

why dont you put your microphone cable under your shirt? it will look better and it will also be safer.

I've created a huge screen before using sheets from Walmart. The screen was about 10 foot wide.. I noticed if you use more than one layer of material you get better Quality.  Rather then painting the wood i would just lap over more material.

Before you go ahead with this project. Spend the extra money and get black backer fabric behind the screen material. This will hide any imperfections and the color actually turns out better. Other than that, follow these instructions and be the talk of the neighborhood. Easiest and best way to make your indoor / outdoor movie screen.

@rosshildick sorry but that's nonsense, i will agree with you that the build quality of this is pretty bad, but a custom made projector screen for 300 dollars, if done by a skilled person will absolutely own a screen bought off the shelf for the same price.

I doubt you could buy my screen for $1000, and it cost me about $200, and a lot of time of course.

@at 1:32, "we are going to make a screen 66 inches by 90 inches... roughly 6 ft by 8 feet." Actually it is Exactly 5 1/2 x 7 1/2 feet, and that still doesn't look like the end product.

And the reason you came up "6 inches short" may be because the vertical frame pieces should have been mounted the the outside of the horizontal pieces.. not underneath and above them...

What material are you using???

[BSuttonQuaid]

Black out cloth, from your local fabric store. It is used for drapes to prevent light coming through from windows.

There are several DIY paint solutions out there.

Check out Silver Fire or Black Widow. Doing either of these correctly should stomp a matt/flat white paint or the dreaded "I was cheap and hung a sheet on the wall"

just stick a white bed sheet up on the wall this video is a proper one looks better
