"Sorry if it seems like I'm bragging, I'm just thrilled it turned out so well."
"Here's a picture of an outdoor screen that I made with your material (and a little sewing) . . . Thanks for a great product!"
"Thank you, thank you, thank you! Everybody is thrilled with our new screen and every now and then someone stands in front of it in awe . . . (all the other dorms are jealous, too)! . . . We'll never go back to 'big sports on small TV'
"Thank you for the wonderful projection surface material! It looks every bit as good as my brand-name indoor screen, only much, much bigger. Not only that, but it's affordable enough to take outdoors for a backyard movie night without worrying about it. Thank you!"
"Hi Carl, Just wanted to say "Thank You" I received the Projector screen just a couple of days after I ordered it, I also wanted to say WOW"... what a difference in picture quality compared to a canvas material I was using. The picture was so much brighter and clearer. Again Thank You."
"Thanks for the material, the package arrived with time to spare. I wish all e-stores were like yours. Loved the personal attention and normal shipping cost! Great job, keep up the good work!! . . . Thought you might like to see how the screen material was used, it worked GREAT!!! There was close to 250 people there by the time it got dark. WOW wasn't expecting such a turn out. Here are a few photos."
"My dog is posing to provide scale. She is a 70 pound lab-pitbull mix . . . I am really happy with the result."
"Thought I'd share with you the screen setup I made after I purchased the 16'x9' blackout material from you a year and a half ago. It's trailer mounted and easy to setup and move around. Thanks again for the great material."
"Here is the finished product. Came out great. Just in time for the game."
"Thanks again for all of your help and getting the fabric to me on time. It is always wonderful to work with such a reputable person. I will tell all of my friends to get their screens from you, because once they see what we were able to do with our backyard for less than $1000, they are going to want it too!"
"It's 16 x 9 and it's fabulous. (...) I've had teenager parties and they love it and it keeps them out of trouble! Thanks for getting the fabric here so promptly!"
"The finished screen (well, almost finished - we haven't done the masking yet) is 17'x12.75' and looks great!"
"Just wanted to say thanks for the incredibly quick service. Having ordered just prior to the July 4th weekend, I was pleasantly surprised, to say the least, that my screen arrived the following Monday. I've attached a few quick pictures I took of my finished project. Thanks again."
"The first of our two screens in Mongolia is done. The other one is waiting for the projector to make the proper measurements. Thanks again!"
"Just built my projector screen with the material I purchased from you. Thought I would share my results, I am fairly happy with my first build and already have plans for another outdoor screen that I can put up and down."
"Really enjoying my new screen and am thankful that I found you and your site. : ) Been spreading your name and site name on to many in the area. Keep up the good work!!"
"The screen is awesome and in this smallish town, it's been a major morale booster on the weekends for people."
"I recently bought a screen from you guys and was pleased with the price and product. I made a screen for my projector and recorded the process and outcome in hopes of educating others on how I went about doing it."
"We have it mostly installed. It wraps around a pipe and coiled ropes lift it up and down. Thank you for your help."
"Just let you know your screen was wicked, perfect image and impressed everyone at the film festival."
"Here is what I did with the materials you sold me last year. It turned out to be a great Super Bowl party and the screen will be used again this year."
"I knew I wanted to get into outdoor home theater but was confused at all the screen choices/options. I found out about Carl's on the web and initially called about a custom 2.35:1 ratio blackout cloth screen. I was going to order the material and do my own border/attach method. Well, due to physical size constraints of my garage side layout I changed to 16:9 ratio and decided to get a complete screen with border/grommets. Placed my order and it was delivered on time, 2 days before the big day! Everyone loved the screen and the outdoor movie event. Thank you Carl!"
"It was great!"
"Here is our version of an outdoor movie screen! This is our third choice of fabric, best so far! Thanks for the great service."
"Carl, thank you for everything. Screen was built by my wife and I and turned out great. (...) Really loving it!!"
"The screen arrived a couple days ago and I got it all setup. It looks fantastic!"
"Attached is a photo of my finished screen. Works great. I will order another screen in the future for indoor use, but thanks again for such a great product. Your screen and about 30-40 dollars of PCV and bungee cord and viola!!"
"Thanks Carl for making this awsome product. I had no idea that Backyard Movies were so popular until I stumbled onto your website. I used your kit (9' x 16'..215" Dia) and made a few modifications so that I could mount the screen to our back wall (All removable with no drilling into the wall). It worked better than I imagined. (...) Cant wait for movie nights !!!"
"The screen was a great success for our Vacation Bible School. It worked out just like I had hoped. I'm excited to see how it works this fall in our normal high school service."
"In looking for a quality yet affordable outdoor screen, I came across Carl's Place in many online forums. After some initial research, I placed my order, and I am glad I did. Carl's screens are high-quality, look outstanding, reasonably priced, and the customer service is stellar. I recommend Carl's Place without hesitation."
"As a semi-professional band, we're always looking for something to make our performances look that much better than what people might reasonably expect. With three of Carl's 9' screens, some parts from our local electrical & plumbing supply, and some projectors nabbed from my workplace over the weekend, we were able to transform the venue we played into quite the performance. Without these screens, we'd have been just your usual cover band. Everyone in attendance commented on how much they've added to the shows. Thanks for the fast turn around and great quality product"
Note from Carl: This customer wrote some great instructions on how to build this three-way screen. You can download them here.
Just wanted to thank you for the exceptional service you provided, and the sound value of the product you offer. I've finished modifying my frame, and we're ready for movie night here in our pirate village.
Thanks for all the help! Watched the Survivor finale last Sunday evening while making s'mores. Raiders of the Lost Ark is up next .... my youngest daughter has never seen it. Then the National Championship Game.
I would like to thank you for offering such a great product for a great price. The screen went up in 10-15 minutes and looked so professional ... Thanks again!!
Last night the family came over for the opening of Holland Home Theater....The 9x16 screen kit was very easy to assemble, and the showing was fantastic....Everyone loved it! Thanks for a wonderful product...we are more than pleased!
Thanks Carl screen came in real fast - my DIY 157" screen
Hey Carl, the screen worked out great, the seam wasn't even noticable. We used a HD 10K lumen projector for the 24ft by 13.5ft screen. Thanks a bunch.
The screen is great. I was very impressed with the quality and the speed of the delivery, even to Canada . . . It is going to be a great summer.
I ordered your clearance screen of eBay and it was amazing. Here's some pics of the work in progress. your directions were amazing.
The basic setup is complete and working ... I painted all parts using Hunter Green (dark) RustOleum spray paint to blend in with the vegetation when the screen is removed. I also numbered all parts and put white dots on all connectors for alignment and depth markings after final adjustments were made.
The screen turned out really good ... thanks again for the very fast shipping and great quality material.
I wanted to thank you for the amazing screen. The quality is PROFESSIONAL, it really shows that you take pride in your work. I also wanted to let you know that your shipping was fantastic. Last but not least the ball bungees are even top notch quality. I have attached a picture of my screen installed and as you can tell not a wrinkle or crease anywhere. AWESOME screen and got it installed just in time for memorial day weekend, cannot wait to see a bluray on this baby.
Picture as promised. The Cross is raised when we use the full screen.
We watched a couple of movies and my family and in-laws thought the screen did a fantastic job. Thanks for the custom build!
Thanks for everything.
We just finished the screen last week ... The screen came out great, here are some pics, thanks again.
The beautiful Rand Park Pavilion in Keokuk, Iowa looks great with Carl's 16x9 screen and frame.
Thanks for the fabric. 120" home theater in garage. Works perfect. All homemade construction. Couldn't find this fabric cheaper anywhere else. Thanks again.
Hello Carl, tried out my new screen last night and I love it. Here is a picture of our 9 x 22 screen.
