Can you use this fabric without stretching on a frame? I would like to just hang it on a wall outside.

The screen I purchased does hang alright with out frame work and the creases that are in the screen when in the shipping package goes away. It does work good.

yes - I would put washers or weight the corners down to help with getting the wrinkles out

Yes. The only thing that I would suggest is to let it hang for a while before its needed. The fabric will have wrinkles in it upon arrival. Other than that I don't think it would be a problem. I hope that this helps. Good luck

Yes, but it might be hard to handle depending on the fabric. You burnish it down to the fabric, then you have to pull off the backing, I can see the fabric getting tangled and stuck to itself unless it's pretty stiff. What are you mounting fabric to?Remember it's also pretty pricey at approximately a buck a square foot.

It won't be real tight. It just hangs. As for the clamps, if you don't have a rod pocket on your backdrop, use the clamps like a clothespin. I guess if you wanted to, you could use the clamps to stretch it a little tighter side to side at the top with a rod pocket too. {I don't know why you would need to} But the rest will just hang. If you need to get wrinkles out, set it up a day or two before hand and let them 'fall' out. The sides of the backdrop don't connect to the stand. Only the top of the backdrop. I hope this answers your question.

Technically you can, It's not really a 3 minute task, but it can be done. The big problem is extending the frame without the feet getting stuck in dirt sand etc. Also if you want to move the frame (over a picnic table etc.) It would be a 2 person job. The velcro is really good so all the actual fabric work can easily be done with one person. But the frame is quite a bit of walking in circles to adjust and extend each foot.

i would use a very tiny TINY amount as to not harm the wall itself. this stuff is super strong. i'd suggest you hang it as best you can then use a small bit to level it if need be. i've used this stuff for COUNTLESS things so yeah, experiment but be careful so you don't damage the wall or the frame - but for something as simple as this sounds you probably want to go with something a little more temporary like ticky tack, even.

if there is some support in the middle of the frame then yes. but it needs far too much tension to get the wrinkles out, to only have top & bottom frames. i built mine like a panting canvas about 10ft diagonal. I needed sides, a center post, and triangles in the corners, to be enough strength to stand the tension.

it doesn't have a stretch to it. you don't want it to... use a good spray upholstery glue and you can use clear screw in upholstery pins...WalMart had the pins. it's a really nice headline fabric.. scrap well your original, then spray with glue and lightly press fabric on.. let it dry at least overnight...I used extra for visors and bottom inside on doors..Good Luck... can see how to ideas on YouTube..

I stapled it to a rectangle of 1 by 4s, with a vertical piece up the middle, and L-joints to bracket the frame together. Not sure how sturdy 1 by 1s would be, but the rolling up idea might work ok - the fabric is really strong. Maybe try a 1 by 4 at the top, and a 1 by 1 at the bottom to roll it. Good luck!

you can stretch it out to some extent, but it is crinkled and will not be it's full length until it has water pressure. i hope this helps to answer your question.

Yeah, I think mine's around 6' x 12', so you should be fine. I recomend applying it to the wall with a staple gun at the top, first, then let it hang for a couple of days and slowly staple it down on the sides to stretch it.

If you are looking to make it portable you can attach the screen to a wooden frame. the issue is going to be what are you going to hang this frame from once you staple it to the frame. Another alternative would be clamps but you need some type of frame or rod to hang it from. The other issue is that if it is not stretched completely the image is not as good visually. Personally I do not believe this was made to be mobile. I just stapled it to the wall and I plan on getting some nice moulding and give it a great finish appearance. The screen was a good investment. Good luck with you project.

I have only used one season and I was in Hawaii. I didn't notice any stretching. I will use this season and let you know.

I'm sure you can. I have it hanging outside on a wall under the patio of my house. Really is well made, just not as brightly presented in person as on this picture. It is more muted or dull in color, think earth tones, but I actually prefer it that way.

The answer is no. I have mine hanging on a wall and the exterior is brick. You may have to play with it to see where it works best.

Depends on the weight of the frame and the surface you are hanging it on. I used some small brackets to attach it to the wall and they hold it securely. The material isn't that heavy and if the frame isn't heavy, it doesn't take much to attach this.

We have not framed ours but a great idea! I would definitely cut and nail each piece and install on the wall. I would not build the frame before hand. Also don't cut any molding until the map is on the because each panel overlaps a bit.
