Portable DIY frame design  

Hank,

I think that you could probably build a easy to assemble/transport frame out of PVC pipe. This would be fairly light/easily set up and taken down and the pieces stored in a big duffle or ball bat bag or the center of a big tube that you use to roll up the screen. I read your other post about a 106" screen and using PVC elbows and "t's" you should be able to come up with something usable.

Since it is indoors you would not have to worry too much about stability or bracing for weather.

If you wanted to be very simplistic you could place a few grommets around the edges of the BOC and (if the school or dorm will let you) hooks on the wall to match up with the grommets.

I have considered using the PVC myself when I'm at at point to do an outdoor setup, but have not gotten any practical experience doing one this is just my .02. Hope this helps.

Regards,

I have thought about PVC also as a frame and haven’t tried it yet as a knock down screen for outdoor use, that could also work fine indoors.

PVC elbows for the 4 corners and 4 tees two top and tow bottom for a 16:9 screen. that will strengthen the long side of the screen and make parts shorter to fit in your car. To attach the screen how about this idea. at the fabric store they sell grommets that come in 2 pieces and you place them on each side of the material and with a special punch tool (comes with them) you smack it with a hammer and they attach. Just like the eyelets in a tarp. I have had best luck with these when I doubled over thin material. With BOC you may or may not have to double. Place these eyelets/ grommets about every foot around your fabric and then use bungee cords from top to bottom side to side to hold tension, or lace it up with some cords.

Tools required scissors, hacksaw, and hammer

Whatever you build we want pictures at this point….. :D
