I got the Lumenlab BO cloth and am looking for a cheap easy way to be able to put it onto a roll similar to a blind. Has anyone done this on the cheap?
I am thinking of a frame holding a rod with the cloth attached to the rod. I would then have a crank or pulley system to turn the rod thus rooling the screen. Any thoughts?

I would like to try one of these from
http://www.resunltd4u.com/index.html They are only $20 and run from 12v. Yes, I stole the pic because I couldn't get a link with frames.

My First Screen was a roll up. I heamed a loop in the Blackout at the top and bottom.I inserted a 3/4" EMT conduitin the top and 1/2" EMT in the bottom for wieght. thenI took a Piece of 2"PVC pipe with Couplers and 3/4" end bushings.
then I routed a channeldown the PVC insert heam and slide the 3/4" through the
end bushings through the heam and out the other side EMT should stick out and inch or two so you can hang it on some DIY wood brackets. alsoput a screw though the PVC into the EMT so it cant turn inside the PVC then all you have to do
is roll up the screen by hand notsure if i have any pics of the screen but ill look
It worked well andkept Wrinkles out. but I built a permanant screen.
I bought all materal at home depot for about 15.00 USD
