How to Make a Projector Screen on a Wall

In recent years, there has been a big boom in the interest in home theaters. A cheaper alternative than buying a big-screen TV is to use a projector. But, of course, if you have a projector, you are going to need a screen. Making your own screen is fairly simple and a lot cheaper than purchasing one. With a few supplies you can find at a home improvement store, you can make screen to hang on your wall.

Instructions

    • 1

      Cut the particle board for the size you want your screen to be.

    • 2

      Cut the blackout cloth to be the same size as the particle board, with about 4 inches extra on each side.

    • 3

      Cover the particle board with the blackout cloth. Stretch the cloth tightly over the board, and fold the extra cloth over to the back side of the board.

    • 4

      Using the staple gun, staple the cloth on the back of the particle board. Make sure to keep the cloth pulled tight to avoid wrinkles.

    • 5

      Use the nail gun to mount the screen on your wall. Put a nail in each corner, as well as in the top and bottom. If it seems unstable, add nails to the sides.
