All of this looks AWESOME! Thanks again for all of your help; we're all very excited to put this gigantic awesome screen to use! We have some competitive neighbors, you should see their faces. LOL
Take out the guesswork with Carl's Place Hanging DIY Projector Screen Kits. We guide you through building an outdoor projector screen for a convenient installation that's completely customizable with several projector screen materials and sizes.
Our wall-hanging kits are a convenient way for you to mount our very popular finished edge screens. We supply you with the screen, fittings, and bungees needed to make a basic frame that can be hung on a wall, suspended from a ceiling or anything else you can think of! Just pick up a few pipes from your local store, follow our directions, and you'll be rolling with a big screen like no other!

Materials:The foundation of a brag-worthy theater system is starting with the right screen material, so check out our article to help you select the right material for your environment's specific lighting situation, or see our quick summary below specifically geared for outdoor use.
All of the following materials work best in a dark to low light setting.
White Materials
- FlexiWhite: An excellent material for all-around use, it's flexible and easy to fold for storage in-between uses (and readily stretches back out again to get rid of fold lines and wrinkles), making it a very versatile projection screen material! Easy to install over wood frames, it's a popular choice as a hanging projector screen. Its PVC construction makes it popular with the outdoor crowd as well!
- Blackout Cloth: The material that started it all! Blackout cloth is still a popular choice for budget screen builders. It's very smooth, flexible, covers a large surface area, and it's inexpensive, making for a perfect mini drive-in screen!
Gray Materials
- FlexiGray: Just like FlexiWhite, but tinted slightly gray, making it perfect for minor issues with ambient light.
Rear Projection
- White Rear Film: Very similar to our gray rear film, our white rear film is more opaque, which helps make the images more uniform when paired with brighter projectors. Slightly dimmer than gray rear film but more even in its light distribution, making it a great choice in dark environments.
- Gray Rear Film: Translucent and slightly gray, it will give you the brightest image available in a rear projection material, which is great for environments with some ambient light. In dark environments, however, care must be taken to avoid hotspots. Avoid projectors that are too bright or that project in direct line-of-sight to the viewer.
Acoustically Transparent
- Nano FlexiWhite/FlexiGray: Our Nano material is just like our Flexi material but with very small holes, resulting in a 7% open surface to let sound through. This perforated projection screen is ideal for an audience sitting closer to the screen.
Specialty Purpose
- SilverScreen: Specifically designed for passive 3D applications, the high gain of this flexible screen helps maintain the polarity of a projected image.
Aspect Ratio:
We recommend building a screen to match your projector's aspect ratio. See this article for more information.
What's Included:- Finished edge screen of your choice
- All required fittings to complete a frame
- 6-inch ball bungees
- Assembly instructions
1-inch EMT (Electrical Metal Tubing/Conduit) is required to complete these frames. EMT steel pipe can be found at any local hardware store such as Home Depot or Lowe's. Your kit will include all details on what lengths and quantities of EMT are required.
For Rear Projection:Currently, Rear Projection Film in this frame style only comes in the two smaller sizes due to the support poles in the back of larger sizes which would cast a shadow on a rear-projected image. For additional Rear Projection Film Kit options, see our Truss Style Frame Kit.
Seams:Many of our materials are available in widths that allow screens up to 126-inch tall with no seams. But sometimes, 10' tall just isn't tall enough. For those occasions, we can weld (or sew, depending on the type) materials together to easily go up to 13.5' tall kit. Our welded seams are practically invisible.
Packaging:Hanging Kit Screens ship folded in a box and cannot be rolled.

Thick material, well-made with good bungee cords. We set it up for late summer night movies and everyone enjoyed it. Our FlexiGray screen is easy to take down and put away.
Seth C.
Great screen. I would recommend my FlexiWhite Kit!!
Paul B.
I enjoy watching sports on my super big screen.
Kanu H.
The finished Blackout Cloth screen came out amazing; it's like a mini theater screen at home. I am extremely happy with it. I am glad I bought this screen.
Kevin B.
This Blackout Cloth Kit is amazing for the price. It is capable of excellent picture quality (depending on your projector). One additional set of hands makes it a snap to put up and take down. It's super high quality and great for backyard movie night.
David C.
Excellent screen and great quality. The hardware is of equal quality; strong metal corners and excellent bungees. Made for a nice tight square screen! I used my Kit with a 1080P projector in the backyard at night and the picture was simply beautiful! Big! Bright! Beautiful!"
Eric | Grace Church Salem
Your screen has done wonders for our church! Grace Church is in Salem, MA, so organ accompanied scary silent movies are a natural, and are now our most important Halloween fund raiser. We have assembly & raising down to 30 minutes. Take down is even less! So glad we found you.
