Yes, it's 14 feet wide. It needs to be retractable to get it out of the weather as well as to not obscure the great view of the Pacific Ocean. Plus, its all part of "the show". We have a pot luck dinner at 5:00 - people watch the sunset - and then its dark at 6:00. The screen comes down with 4:3 masking and we run 45 minutes of strange and weird short subjects. We then take an intermission, do popcorn, etc and get everyone back in their seats. We show a trailer for next week in 4:3 and then the side masking goes up - people go "wow" - and the widescreen movie starts in 6.1 surround. So, paint is out. There has to be a more durable fabric out there somewhere.......
