Enjoy Cool Summer Nights With This DIY Outdoor Projector Screen

  • If you're one of the lucky ducks who live in a southern state, you'll be able to enjoy this outdoor screen for even longer than the rest of us will. Then, once winter is knocking on our doors, we can store it away until springtime. It only takes a few steps to create!

    What You’ll Need:

    • 12 pcs. 2′ PVC pipe
    • 6 pcs. 3′ PVC pipe
    • 2 pcs. 90° connectors
    • 8 pcs. T connectors
    • 1 pc. 4-way connector
    • 4 pc. end caps
    • zip ties
    • grommets 25-40
    • white cloth or tarp
    • Nylon rope and stakes (optional)

    Step 1: Measure And Cut Your Pipes

    For the frame, cut 6 pieces of three-foot-long and 6 pieces two-foot-long pipes.

    For the base, cut 6 pieces of two-foot-long pipes.

    Step 2: Clean Up The Edges Of The Pipes

    Use a file to clean up the edges of the pipes.

    Step 3: Rough Up The Ends

    Rough up the edges of the pipes.

    Step 4: Build Your Frame And Stand

    To build the frame you’ll need the following:

    • 6 pieces 3 foot-long pipe
    • 6 pieces 2 foot-long pipe
    • 6 pieces T-connectors
    • 1 piece 4-way connector
    • 2 pieces 90° connectors

    For the Base:

    • 6 pieces 2 foot-long pipe
    • 2 pieces T-connectors
    • 4 pieces end caps

    Lay out and connect your frame pipes together to form a grid. You can then apply the glue. Assemble the base separately.

    Step 5: Cut Your Fabric

    You’re making a six-foot by four-foot screen, so cut your fabric or tarp to fit the screen.

    Step 6: Secure The Fabric To The Screen

    Use a grommet kit and zip ties.

    Step 7: Attach The Base

    Attach the base to your projector screen.
