Try www.driveinworkshop.com


Most drivein theater screens have a picture size area of around 40 feet high by 94 feet wide. They are made of steel "I" beams with a metal surface.

I think I will stick with the Projector I built. Its normally about 10 feet wide picture. I took it to a Gym and was able to get it to about 25 feet wide. Built it with the plans from Lumenlab.com using and 15 inch LCD screen and a 400 watt light. Nothing better than playing video games and watching movies. ;D
