Quote from "www.draperinc.com"

Curved projection screens offer several key advantages over flat projection screens.

A curved screen helps offset pincushion distortion from a horizontal expansion lens, and also wraps the image around your periphery more than a flat screen for greater engagement with your projected image.

In addition, the curved image is subject to less ambient reflected light from your room, while your projector’s light is more accurately reflected by the perfectly smooth viewing surface for an ideal picture.

The amount of curvature is determined by the C to B distance and the length of the "A rods"

"A Rods" would normally be in the 3.3 ft range and "B tubes" in the 8 ft range for a total screen width of 16 ft

Curved screen Ceiling Bracket mounts

For those that have a dedicated golf simulator room, you can now simply attach a curved screen

to the curved track that is mounted on the ceiling.

This method eliminates the requirement to make up a frame.

What's included:

2 X 8 ft long X 1" wide aluminum bendable bracket guides

32 brackets with fixing hardware (screws)

4 side pole flanges

2 x 10ft 1" diameter long side poles

$ 399.00

The curved screen guide allows you to set the curvature to any radius and any width from 12 to 24 ft.

Mounting Instructions

First off, make sure your ceiling is capable of supporting the weight of a screen.

If it's drywall, ensure that it's thickness is at least 1/2 inch.

If it's just plaster, then this method of suspending the screen will not work.

Step 1:

Locate the center of where the screen is to be mounted and mount 2 brackets (left and right) there.

Note that there are 2 half's of guide : left and right

Step 2.

Starting with the left side, drill a hole (with the supplied drill bit) at one end of the aluminum guide

and attach it to the bracket with the supplied self tapping screw.

Step 3.

Bend the other end of the aluminum guide out to the desired curvature

and attach another bracket to that end and mount to the ceiling.

Step 4.

Depending on your screen's grommet spacing, slide in the brackets along the guide to match your screen's grommet spacing

and screw in the brackets to the ceiling at those points.

Step 5.

Repeat the procedure for the right side of the curved screen.

Step 6.

Attach the screen to the brackets via bungees or zip ties.

Step 7.

Mount the side vertical poles with the supplied pole flanges and attach the screen to the side poles via bungees or zip ties.

Methods of attaching the screen to the brackets with bungee cords

Using a loosly tightened zip tie

Wraping the bungee around the track guide

Note that this method requires screwing in the track guide to every bracket with the supplied self taping screews
