    1 $10 bedsheet from publix
    2 Two 1'2' x (like) 10' boards
    --one for the top and one for the bottom
    3 Ten screws, five on each, evenly spaced
    --drilled in but not penetrating the wood while stretching the sheet without wrinkles
    4 Four staples via staple gun on the ends
    --Wall fixed by fastening the predrilled screws
    Cost me $10.
    Worked perfectly. After a year I switched it our for an 'Elite Screen'

    I bought 4 yards of white heavy duty Lycra 4 way stretch (36" x 62" per yard) stretched out per yard (72" x 124") all 4 yards total stretch (144" x 248" )(12' x 20' ) off eBay for 7 bucks a yard and works great. I use mine for rear projection with a 2000 Lumen projector and because its heavy duty you do not see the light from the projector. It is bright and clear.. If this helps anyone..

    he almost got it correct DON'T try to sew (or tape the material togeather ) yourself it is a tricky material to work with if you are not accustom to working with spandex
    rose brand has an awesome custom sewing department CALL them and have them put ties and grommets all the way around the Tendo material ( or pipe pockets if you can hang it ) and then streach it over a frame of 2" schedule 40 pipe it will look a hell of a lot better than that ( I just set up 2 for an event that was 25ft tall and 150ft wide and took 5 massive 20,000 lumen projectors to fill the width of the screen ) and the 3750 square feet of projection surface looked amazeing

    Ive made an entire wall in my house a projection screen and use my home made projector it cost me £9.89 or something like $14
    Its really cheap and good i use a magnifying glass covering the hole on one side of a shoebox use blue tac to stick my phone inside on the other side of the shoebox with the screen locked upside down to project it the right way up a £8 great bluetooth speaker to not constantly have to hear buzzing from the shoebox and i use my wall to project onto the sound is surprisingly loud and the screen is obviously adjustable so i cant really say how big it is the downside is that the phone might fall the quality isn't that good but what do you expect and you can only use devices like tablets phones and laptops a tv would be risky though you would beed a really big box and make sure it doesn't fall

    I am too cheap to buy anything. I got a free HD video projector (with 6 spare bulbs) that is so awesome, but a single king size sheet is not big enough for the backyard movies, hung on clothes line between two 10 foot ladders. Where can I get a few white sheets for free so I can sew them together? I need at least 12 feet wide.
