Hey
my boyfriend and I are big movie people so we invested in buying a projector and a screen now we have the task of installing it. The actual projector isn't a problem it's more so the screen.
We want it to be installed on the ceiling. We've got a manual pull down 94" Draper screen, weighing about 10kg, that needs to go up and stay up.
The screen has only 2 screw holes 7mm in diameter one on either end for which to put a bolt through and into the ceiling.
The attic is above us and we want it to go into one of the beams in the ceiling. Went to the hardware store today and the guy said that buying any screw probably wouldn't hold it.
Would someone please be able to help us out because after paying for the screen and the projector we can't afford to have someone come and do it for us
This will be a DIY job and we want it sturdy.
Please could someone tell me a good, strong and safe way of installing this to the ceiling. Types of screws, bolts or anything that will be needed could you please list. Thanks in advance.
