I like this screen alot. I'm thinking of building another screen for outdoor use and just had a quick question if you don't mind. What do you do when it rains? Do you have some sort of cover for your screen? That is the only thing holding me back from making a bigger one now.Any other tips or advice would bbe great!

@hunda21

Good Q. I put the screen up and it stays outside for 3-4 weeks, rain and all, no problem. If that's you holdback, don't worry, enjoy a bigger screen!

The pool was a "impulse buy" on sale @ Targets, it lasted 2 seasons and now its gone. I had a pool as a kid, hated being stuck cleaning it, told myself I'd never own a home with a pool. We have a boat and use that for water fun skiing/tubing/etc. Peace.

The screen edge was approx 8" edge to the wire all around, double that for 16" for using a bungee for the stretch. I used 12" bungee ball cords, that gave me 4" of stretch, which worked perfect for 2 seasons now - holds screen in great tension w/o too much. Good luck, do you have a thread @ backyard theatre dot com?
