Outdoor movie screen
shardian:
How loud is the motor in those blow up screens?
shardian:
Didn't get home from a wedding shower until 9:30, but still trucked at getting this set up and tested.
I cut the center supports and legs, drove in the posts, and assembled the screen. I slid the legs onto the posts, and then lifted the screen into place...by myself. As you can see, the screen is crooked due to the way the back yard slopes down and away to the left. I'll get out a level and trim the right leg accordingly. Setup was a breeze, even working by myself.
After these pics, I tinkered with the screen and got rid of a bunch more wrinkles. I was more than impressed with color and screen brightness. I also noted that I could move the screen farther down the hill and use the zoom function to shrink the screen. Height wise, I don't think I want to go down the hill any more though.
P.S. without paying attention to the words at the bottom of the screen, what movie am I playing? ;)
* I actually got a request from a friend to play One Crazy Summer at the shower this evening. I totally didn't expect anyone in my group to know either Savage Steve movie. That was awesome!
ChadTower:
You can't sled on that hill! :laugh2:
I'm impressed by the pic on the blackout cloth, though. Now I'm more motivated to give that a shot. Wish I could sew.
shardian:
Yes you can, I just didn't photograph the side that is steep. The side I am standing on taking the pic has a very gentle slope. Below the shed it gets really steep.

They sound like a hairdryer on low, but not quite as loud.
The first time I plugged it in to inflate, I was worried they might be a little loud. Once the screen inflated and was upright, it muffled the sound some, and it was not distracting during the movie. There's no way it would be acceptable in my theater, but outdoors it doesn't seem to be an issue.
(The blowers are the same as those inflatable Christmas lawn decorations, if you've ever heard one of those.)
BTW, Pics look good! And as far as the name of the movie, just remember, it's tenticles. NT. Big difference. :)
