Although I have a very small, tiny actuallyproperty, we all enjoy watching movies outdoors on a 10 foot screen now that the warm weather is here.
we can hook up a dvd to the projector, and mount the projector outside and its like a drive in movie.
although this is better,(high definition) open bar, food at your fingertips, bbq, baked ziti,any tray foods, snacks, popcorn, candy, anything to make you happy, and we can run 2 movies at night till 1 am, or hook up the Wi system and all the kids love to play the games, especialloy the action games on a ten foot screen.
Ive used pressure treated lumber for the screen frame, and pvc material for the screen surface, plastic white tarp.
this year, we decided to sink some pipe into the ground,as pole holders, and just build a screen out of 3-4 inch pvc piping, sliding it in when we need it, a few screws, some t's some elbows, and were set. we hook the screen onto the frame with bungee cords.
we figure the cost around 100 bucks, maybe a bit more for all th supplies.
then we discovered something last night I thought Id share with any other outdoor movie fans.
the borg and walmart type stores sell 12 foot inflatable screens for under 200 dollars. Has its own blower attached, like an inflatable bed, can be stored in a duffle, and best of all, can be set up anywhere.!!!!
gonna go with the blow up screen, Ill let anyone interested know how it works out.
