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
Go big or go home, right? We agree! Our wall hanging kits don't work for larger rear projection screens, so we developed these truss frames just for that purpose! If you're setting up a screen in a sanctuary or other large venue, your projector placement options might be limited, but with these truss kits, your screen size won't be!
Our truss kits come with a Carl's projector screen, fittings, and bungees needed to make a frame, making DIY projector screen projects, even with large screens, much more convenient! 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!
Looking for a solution for a smaller screen size or don't need to handle rear projection? Check out our standard Hanging Projector Screen Kits.
Materials:The foundation of a brag-worthy custom projector screen starts with the right screen material, so see our quick summary below of the two different rear projector screen fabrics available for this kit. Note: both work best in a dark to low light setting.
- 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.
Need more options? If you're willing to try a slightly different setup, check out our guide here to help you select the right material for your environment's specific lighting situation.
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:Our Truss-Style Hanging Kits have seamless screens.
Packaging: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.
Great screen. I would recommend my Kit!!
I enjoy watching sports on my super big screen.
The finished 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.
This 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.
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!"
