Hi all,

I would like to built a projector screen that I can use outside for a few outdoor movies. I have a 2.5m Screen but I do not want to remove it each time I want to watch a movie outside. I have a few ideas (I am lying, I definitely stole the ideas online) for making a portable frame, but the material is a bit of an issue. Options include:
- Some white linen (cheap but not great gain/picture quality)
- Good quality bedding, like 400TP Egyptian cotton sheets (not that cheap and my wife may kill me, better than cheap linen)
- Curtain material, white-out with rubber lining (rather expensive, used by a number of online builds)
- Outdoor billboard tarp (rather expensive)
- real projector screen material (do I really want to go there)

Any advice as I do not want to spend too much money on something we may use once or twice a year (hope to do it more often).

Morne
