Do you own an outdoor projection screen?

Jun 14, 2012 8:42 PM

I am looking to purchase an outdoor projection screen. Does anyone have any experience with these? I would like something in the 16' range.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

Are you looking for a permanent/semi-permanent? Or are you looking for one of those portable inflatable ones?

I am looking to throw a block party/movie night for my neighborhood. So it would be in no way permanent, but I would like to possibly use it once a year if everything works out well.

Thanks again!

I have a friend that owns an inflatable one. It's cool, but the price seems to be a little expensive to me.

I have one. It's called a wall.

Would a white sheet work?
If you don't have a wall you could attach it to, you could probably construct a frame using PVC pipe (duct tape the sheet to the frame if nothing else) for much less than the cost of an actual screen.

While in college during the 70s we projected a movie on the side of our two story house...

Worked great...

I got a manual pull-down last year and built brackets to hang it off my shed. It's a 14' diagonal, and works great.

If you go with a portable/roll down, be aware that the shipping will kill you - literally. In this case, WalMart is your friend, as they sell a LOT of screens, and will ship it to your local store for free.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
