This is an inexpensive and practical way to build a screen and frame but I have learned from experience to either glue or screw all the joints especial if you are planning an out door use and also for out doors out safety ropes from the top corners to slid anchors or heavy weights. P.S. I work at a drive in with the states largest screen and we also have a 16 foot solid surface screen for special events such as the children drive in concept you mentioned.
@@garysansum1834 Did these exact dimensions in the video work with your 120 inch screen? If not can you please share the dimensions? I would like to to Home Depot today and make my frame Thanks ;)
2" pipes is so overkill, it works with 3/4 or 1" which is half the price and not nearly as heavy or space used to store...and fabric tape works so much better than safety pins?
I have to disagree with you on the pipe thickness. I can speak from experience that 3/4" pipe is very wobbly even without any material on it. I bought it thinking I'd save some money but the build is way too weak.
Great idea BTW my kids are going to love it
Materials needed:
All PVC Pipe is 2" (Your local hardware store will cut them for you.)
(9) 4 foot PVC Pipes
(4) 4 Foot PVC Pipes
(1) 8 Foot PVC Pipe
(2) PVC Elbow Joints
(6) PVC "T" Joints
(6) PVC End Caps
*Hammer
Tanya - this was easy to make and the kids love it! We will have the "Drive-In" set up every Saturday night. Thanks!
Thank you Tanya!!!
I love this idea! I dont have space to store the screen in one piece, could I take apart and store the PVC tubing for another occassion?
I love this idea... But where do I go to get the dimensions? What site do I got to?
Tanya did you just use a standard project for the movie?
You can get a real projector screen material for less than a king size bed sheet set and, as always, is Soo much better! $15 - $20 on eBay

Is that big enough for 120 inch projector ?
I don't think so.. Do you have the dimensions for a 120 inch screen?
Diameter?
How can I get dimension? I didn't see it on your site.
How much did the movie screen diy cost ?
My screen from amazon.com cost under $40, it is 120 inches

Hate the screen. But do like the frame idea.
