Things You Can Do With Inflatable Movie Screens

By Clemencia Winterberg


Many homeowners are looking for new ways to entertain family and friends in the backyard and an inflatable movie screen may be just the solution they are looking for. These convenient items is able to turn any outdoor area into an open-air theater.

There are many tips for inflatable movie screens to consider when buying a suitable screen. The first consideration is to pick a product made for outdoor use. Most products designed for outside use inflate and have the ability to withstand the wind. Various screen sizes will have different wind tolerances but all products should include takes and an anchor system to be affixed in the ground.

A flexible screen will flex, so a moderate wind gust should do no harm to the frame. If stakes cannot be pounded into the ground because of special landscape features or if the screen is used on a concrete patio bags of sand is able to be used as weights to keep the screen from blowing too much.

The screen inflates with an external or internal fan, depending on the model. Some products will blow up faster than others and some may require additional manpower to operate. It's a good idea to know how long the process takes before choosing a product.

You will also want to keep in mind that all produces have a zipper that is used to deflate the screen. It is a good idea to know where the zipper is before inflation so you can easily take the screen down after use. Open zippers are also a common cause for screens not inflating all the way. Choose a product with a black border. This gives the film a special look and helps it stand out. Though some screens have a picture right up to the edge this effect may not be as fun to watch.

The screen size should match the size of the yard. An overly large screen will overwhelm the space and make viewing uncomfortable. Using a product with a black border will help make the film and bright as possible.Choose the right size for the location of the film. A bigger screen isn't always the better choice.

Projector quality will also affect the overall experience of viewers. A smaller screen that fits the area will provide a better picture for all viewers. You will also want to consider the aspect ratio of the screen. A wide screen ration of 16:9 works best with newer films produced in wide screen format.

Take into account the type of project you will be using. An HD project works better with larger screens and helps eliminate the obvious pixel lines that viewers sitting near the front may see. There is no better activity for the family or a small group than to watch films in the back yard on a warm Spring or Summer day.
