Review on Elite Screens Yard Master 2: 90-inch Portable Outdoor Projector Screen 8K 4K Ultra HD 3D Movie Theater Rear Projection - US Based Company with 2-Year Warranty by Adam Nelson

Summary: Light but very strong, folds quickly and compactly, securely fastened to the ground. Noticeable creases on the screen, but not annoying. I fell in love! I bought a projector to show movies in my backyard and then I thought about what to do with the screen. I just assumed that something worthwhile would be too expensive and seriously considered assembling something out of PVC pipe and white tarp. What a mistake that would be! The entire unit comes neatly packaged in a carry bag (think Pack n Play crib size). Both legs unfold and slide into the main frame, which cleverly folds in 4 places to fit in a carry bag. The screen itself snaps into place throughout the frame, at about each foot, keeping the screen taut and increasing the strength of the frame itself. The whole thing takes about 10 minutes to set up and 10-15 minutes to properly fold and put away, although I leave the bezel/screen intact between views and only remove the legs (which takes about 30 seconds and with two people is much easier ). ). After the frame is assembled, it becomes very light and an adult can easily move it in open space. It's a bit more difficult indoors because the screen is so big. I have an unused space near the back door where I can store the screen between views (with the legs removed) which is very helpful. But if you have to go up/down stairs to store it or go around a lot of corners, I probably need to have two people just to adjust the angles. When I first bought the screen I figured I'd have to attach sandbags or something to the legs to hold it in place, but of course there's a bespoke out-the-box solution for this. Stakes are in place to hammer small holes in the legs and hold the screen to the ground. They work great but make sure you have a hammer to hit them with. There are extra steps with yarn, but I've never dealt with it and never had a problem. Also pleased with the quality of the screen itself. Yes, the screen comes folded and needs to be folded rather than rolled up to fit in a carrying case. After the screen stretches over the frame, you'll still see the creases. Honestly, even after having the screen attached to the frame for several weeks, I still saw the creases. However, they never distracted me from the movie I was watching, so it didn't bother me at all. This screen is made for a very narrow niche - backyard movie nights - and for that purpose it's perfect. It's not really suitable for indoor home theater, but it's very portable and lightweight and of excellent quality,
