OK... so here's my situation...
we have a very large dust cloth as our projection screen in our drama studio. at the moment we HAVE to take it down when not in use, due to health and safety regs. due to it having metal poles in it(to make the frame)
what want to and need to do for an upcoming show, is make the screen to that it either folds up or rolls up. i was thinking something like a roman blind effect so that when some on pulls the cord then the screen neatly folds up and then the cord gets tied off to make it secure. OR
have a number of ropes looped around the screen(so that the same cord runs down the front and up the back) and then pull this so it sort of rolls up.
does any one have any better ideas or any advice
i would much prefer to get an electronic screen, but i don't have any sort of budget for this. apart from a small bit to buy rope etc. but that's only for when and if i ask for it.
thanks
