Had to do it a difficult way because there is a window sill in the way where the screen comes down but with Vapex's help (Dave you rock) we found a way.

We mounted two 10ft 2x4s on top of eachother on the wall, each secured differently with 5.5" lag bolts. I hung on it myself so I know that sucker is secured. Then we mounted the screen to the 2x4s. It was extremely difficult to screw in the screws of the "L" brackets into the wood. But we got it up there!

How big is your screen? And what projector are you using? Wondering if this screen is bright enough at 133" for my projector

How far from the screen are you mounting your projector? Will it be ceiling mounted or on a stand/shelf? And what's the distance from the screen to where you sit? Just want to get an idea since I'm considering going with an EPSON 8350 and 120" screen as well.

Thanks!

I mounted my projector around 14' from the screen on the ceiling. I'm also sitting about 12' from the screen. Because where the studs are located I couldnt make the projector center of the screen but the lens shift worked wonderfully. I also used a power bridge for power and running the HDMI cable. www.visualapex.com has some great package deals!
