Clark Backyard Theatre

« on: July 17, 2011, 11:27:31 am »

Thanks to finding this site and all the wonderful posts and ideas our backyard theatre became a reality with a 16x9 BOC screen and EMT welded frame. The BOC is 2 pieces sewn together but no line is visible during showing. My husband works at the navy dockyard so thanks to a co worker we were able to get a black border made of sail type cloth sewn on and industrial grade grommets placed. In total we spent about $175 for the frame and screen. My husband welded it together because it seemed to weak with just the couplings alone. He also built a piece on it so that it tilts down to put the screen on it and then locks in place when stood up.

I love the welding! I'll bet that screen is sturdy. Very nice.

Well the we shall see how strong the frame is today, the wind is gusting up to 30 or 40km/hour. Seems to be holding steady for now. That is the problem with it here in Nova Scotia always windy it seems.
