Sounds like a great idea, I can help make a screen.  I've found a silver tarp does a reasonable job.

OK. looked in the shed and the free screen possibilities are:
One (or two if desired) steel framed padded vinyl white screens. These have a steel frame behind so they can be suspended and swivel, or I guess you could lay them on them on the ground and make a big ass lazy susan. Size is 1600 x 1600 each, so would equal a square 89" TV screen, or two side by side a 140" screen with a stripe in the middle.
Another option is a whiteboards 1500 x 1200, galv backed, or two of them if desired. One would be a 76" square screen or two together 1500h x 2400w a 112" if my calcs are correct.
The padded vinyl ones are designed for overhead projector and movies use apparently and would need a good wipe down.
The padded ones and at least one white board have hooks that suspend them from wall mounted channels above school chalkboards.
They are at Waterford West if you wanted any.

Yeah, we might be up for this. :) Why not? Dog-friendly if outdoors, for dogs with manners? (He thinks he's a child, he'd be horribly sad to miss out!)

A mate who used to have movie nights at his place used to hang a white sheet off the side of his house. Worked pretty well actually. Sounds like you have some better suggestions though!

Ian, they both sound good.....is there either that would be better suited as screens for a projector ?
If so, I'll take 2 of them.....as both sizings will work if hung on part of the shed wall.

Let me know which you think will be better suited..then we'll work on some Swagmail...

Thanks for helping...

I think the soft vinyl ones would give a better picture result because they are supposedly designed for that use, plus they are little bit larger but the junction may be more noticable. I will have a closer look tomorrow and see how much difference there is in the edge.

I had a look this morning. The vinyl boards have a clear anodised aluminium channel protecting the edge with approx 19mm of exposed aluminium which either white tape or spray paint should cover easily. There is not much in the way of tapering of the face towards the edge and I can't see that being a problem. The whiteboards also have an exposed aluminium edge but also have a 3mm wide black rubber trim. Once again tape or paint should be fine.
Maybe it would be best to take all four boards and see what works best, and sell the unwanted ones on Gumtree to buy movie snacks.

Is this going to qualify me for the Free Giveaway goodies, or being a selective donation rather than an open offer, will I have to offer some used socks or jocks?

How many uses left in the Jocks?
Socks can be used twice, Jocks 4 times.
We're wondering if it's worth the effort.

To save someone any extra effort, the jocks come with pre-installed skidmarks, but why only 2 uses for socks? In my old Army life we used to get an easy four days. Day 1. Normal use.Day 2. Rotate on the feet 180 deg. Day 3. Pull down a foot length and tuck under the foot. Day 4 Same tuck but rotated 180deg. Changing feet gave an additional four days but needed additional convincing.

Terra regarding the socks, you forgot the extra  days by repeating the process by turning them inside out and starting all over again   ;D ;D
