I have been tinkering with some ideas for an interim fabric screen that could be rolled up. Something to use instead of the usual bed sheet until you figure out what retractable screen to buy.
That of course presupposes that you need a retractable screen. I've hit on a few interesting prospects but I don't really know if they would be at all practical in the UK. Here are a few photos to demonstrate what I'm experimenting with:
Which evolved into this:
And now I am trying to see if I can make a DIY Rollable, Reversible, Tab-Tension, with 2.39 Masking Screen:
If the sort of materials I have used are available in the UK and there is any interest here, I would be happy to repost some of this development work here. Just be aware that this is experimenting and development work and not a tried and true finished product. I still have to paint that screen and see how it will stand up to being used on a regular basis. Having said that, the "Slapco" version using standard BOC and construction lumber would make a very good interim screen compared to a bed sheet.
