Flightscope x2 elite simulator build help with screen
So I decided about 10 days ago to use my flightscope x2 elite indoors in the winter. I went with a cheap screen setup because I didn't want to wait to get the screen made. I need some help as I want to remove the wood framing and cage that I have in there now, and go with something that will fill up the room (11 ft 6 x 9ft) and then some finished padded to go around to make it look real built in. I did make all the wood framing easily removable and it is installed 2 ft from the wall. Anybody have any suggestions on how to build out the biggest screen with that smallest padded area on the sides ?

Sorry for the pictures being sideways its my first post. As I said looking at the photos all of the wood framing is removable just need to figure out which mounting system and screen to go with to make the smallest border around the screen.

I believe people use slotted angle iron for a set-up like this. Have a look in one of the screen threads here as I am sure there are pictures.

I was leaning toward using slotted angle iron, but there is also conduit type going to call around today and see what screens can be made to work.

Have to thought of using a curtain arangement on the sides and back, hanging from a track? In my case it stops the balls bouncing off the sides and gives a great contrast to the screen. IMG_0571.jpgIMG_9162.jpgIMG_5202.jpgIMG_3890.jpgIMG_5102.jpg
