Outdoor projection screens

[snickerd3]

Anyone have a outdoor or indoor/outdoor projection screen that you really like?  Features that you love/hate/wish you had???

Have to hold off putting the screen on the wish list because I would get the screen but not the projector for christmas.

Whatever you use, look for high gain and blackout backing.  I'm not a fan of the inflatables unless you want to leave it outside or need a giant display, because you will be listening to fan noise the whole time.

We have a frame one and we like it. It folds up decently small (smaller than an EZ Up tent) and has good picture. We've owned it for four years.

You might be a redneck...

Surely you can't be serious...

Maybe it's a local-ish thing cause this is what we use on the fence or on the garage door

I was just joking with you anyway. The sheet is pretty common, but you can get screens on amazon fairly cheap. I actually have one that I need to build a support for. That may be on my weekend to-do list.

I picked up a cheap projector from Amazon last year and we've loved setting it up in the driveway with the neighbors and watching movies with the kids. So far we've just been projecting it onto our garage doors, but I'm hoping to finally build the screen pedestal that I've been eying for a while. It will look a lot better on an actual projector screen.

Once we get the back yard/patio fixed up, I wanted to start inviting people, aka minisnick's BFF's family, over for movie night since we don't have the room inside to host their clan of 11.

Perfect COVID set up. I'd come over, if I was there.

Not sure how well you can make it out, but the wife set up a screen down on the stone patio. The screen is one of the ones that has a bunch of grommets and was in the basement. Lisa got it stretched out between a couple trees now. It was used for horror movies during Halloween (that’s where the haunted trail started) and we’ve gone down and watched a couple movies a couple times on weekends.

Nice! Set me up a tent and I could live there.

We have a mini portable projector and a PVC/vinyl black back grommet screen. We use the vinyl screen at home, and just bring a sheet when out camping. The vinyl screen is hard to keep the wrinkles out if you fold it, so I keep it rolled up on a stick of PVC pipe. A sheet packs in the Jeep better. The projector is pretty cool for how small it is, comes with Wifi, bluetooth, SD card so you can pre-load movies, but the battery only lasts a hour and a half. When we're out on the trail, I bring an extra Ridgid battery and USB adapter to squeeze out a couple movies.
