9x21 Projector Screen Frame Kit
Tubing Cut List and Assembly Instructions
Thank you for purchasing a projector screen frame kit from Carl’s Place! Included in this
document you will find all the information you should need to assemble your new 9x22
Projector Screen. Before proceeding, please read the following tips to help make the
project go as smoothly as possible:
 This kit requires twenty-one 10’ long 1” EMT tubes (electrical conduit). These can
be found at any building supply store and most hardware stores and lumber yards.
Just ask for 1-inch EMT and an employee there can direct you to the materials.
 When cutting the tubes to length, there are several tools that can be used. A
hacksaw with a metal-cutting blade works well but is not the fastest. A band saw, jig
saw, or reciprocating saw with a metal cutting blade will make things go a little
faster, and a dedicated pipe cutter will make the cleanest cuts. Please be careful
with cut edges of EMT, as they can be very sharp.
 The included fittings work by inserting a piece of EMT into them and tightening down
the eye-bolts. After getting them finger tight, a wrench or screwdriver can be used
to further tighten the joint. The eye-bolt will actually create a dent in the tube and
hold it precisely in place.
 The measurements shown on the tube cutting list assume that the tubes will be
inserted 4” into the fittings. It is highly recommended that you mark each end of
each tube at 4” as a reference to use while assembling the frame. After assembly is
complete you may find you need to adjust tubes in or out slightly to your liking. The
4” insertion allows for some flexibility either way.
 Finally, do not leave your screen out in the wind unless it is sufficiently
anchored to the ground! A projector screen can catch a large amount of wind and
as such can easily produce a lot of damage if not anchored well.
