Product Description

The Twilight Tension Twin is an outdoor front and rear projector screen for wall and patio installations that brings media room quality to your outdoor spaces. Its sleek aluminum casing beautifully accessorizes your backyard, patio, pool deck, or anywhere a gathering for evening movie time is appropriate.

Outdoor Projection Screen Disclaimer
Never leave your projection screen out and exposed to direct sunlight. Regardless of screen brand, prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet radiation degrades the chemical bonds causing the material to eventually decompose. Photodegradation first causes the material to lose its theater- grade reflective qualities. Eventually, nature will destroy even synthetic materials. For this reason, the Twilight Tension Twin has a retractable design that allows the material to be drawn up into its protective casing to be shielded from solar radiation.

Care & Use Instructions

  1. Do not touch the projection surface with your hands
  2. Do not write or draw on the projection surface
  3. Do not use fingers or sharp objects to point on the projection surface; this will damage the screen material.
  4. Use a soft damp cloth to clean the projection surface; do not use chemical cleaning agents or alcohol.
  5. Use clean water when dampening the cleaning cloth and do not rub against the material to clean it.
