Here are the pics from the first Cool Hop Drive-In in Kenmore, NY. The Infocus 1200 arrived four hours before showtime. I ran surround sound pro logic through the backyard and used Dano's Danoplex 2 screen (which the wind wreaked havoc with) as the projector.

How windy was it for this to happen.     

[barefoottourguide]

Somewhere between 20-30mph when it went down. The screen was acting as a sail, and the connections in the center part of the frame popped apart under the pressure of the screen bungeed to it when the wind wasn't going.

This is what Garretts screen is supposed to look like!

Sorry the wind was less than nice to you.  Good thing though.....PVC can be repaired.

As the top pic shows we got the screen bungeed into position before the film started, but the upper center pvc popped free again. My father (a contractor) is visiting and helping me get the screen into tiptop shape.

When I am hired to do a job when the winds get to be anywhere from 15-20mph I call it off, as I have stated in my contract.  It is not safe for the audience nor is it safe for my equipment.  I am sure you learned the equipment lesson already.

My father is in town and helping me super-secure the screen to prevent future devastation. Can't wait to get a chance to test it out.

Garrett,

I can't tell by the photo exactly, but I think you have the center section backwards.  The verticle members are supposed to jut back away from the screen so it is suspended around the frame not touching anything except the bungees on the outer sides.
