Outdoor movie screen
ChadTower:
Hrm. The vinyl siding is not meant to bear any weight. Might not hold.
The 4x4 post idea is the easiest by far, I think.

Hrm... that could work. I'll check the overhang. Might not have a ladder that reaches up there as that's the vertex of my roof.

Last night I picked up 2 more sticks of PVC, went home, ate and laid down. Summer sickness sucks! My wonderful wife even got the PVC out of the car. This morning she drove by a yard sale and picked up some sort of cart for the AV projector stuff. Boy did I land a keeper. Now if only I could convince her to apply some vinyl to the pacman...
I hope I feel better this evening so I can get everything set up and tested out.
ChadTower:
Bah. My wife won't even set up the chairs to watch a movie.

Shardian,
Nice job on the screen!
Not trying to take away from the DIY aspect, but for anyone interested in an outdoor screen, wal-mart has the inflatable gemmy screen on sale for $163.

I know I mentioned this before, and I know it's more expensive than the DIY solutions, but after trying several different DIY solutions, I'm pretty happy with this. Setup is not too tough, and it stows in a duffle when you're done. No permanent mounts necessary. Three downsides to this - it's not good in high wind, the tiedown ropes are not adjustable as delivered (easily fixed), and it's more fun to DIY ;D
So my only question now is - what's the 1st movie gonna be? :)
