Hi guys

I want to install a 15 foot wide or larger scope screen in my back yard. This will remain perminent for the summer. Im in upstate NY so weather
plays an important roll.
Conventional Screen material stretched over a frame is out of the question due to high winds at times.

Do you recomend using wood for the surface and paint it white?

Thanks in advance.

Be sure you comply with your local zoning. Matte white exterior paint on a smooth, well-prepared surface, should be fine.
