Changing a pull down screen to a fixed screen


Hi guys. Ive been lurking on here for some time but never posted any. Ive been busy reading and learning what I can on here. My HT room is made up of 5 Klipsch Lascala speakers and 4 tc sound 15's in sealed 10cf enclousers. My speakers/cabinets are all DIY. Im running an Aragon stage one and 2007 amp, Crown xti 4000 for the subs, 3 Sony 777es and an Escient dvdm 300 controlling everything, and Belkin pf60 for conditioning and Belkin battery backup for the Escient, Xbox 360 and Projector. My projector is a dell 2300 that i have had for years now. I am planning on upgrading to a panasonic ax200u soon. My screen is a Draper 106 pull down .

So heres my problem/question. I would like a fixed screen. This will allow me to rasie the screen up closer to the celing. And maybe go to a larger size. I dont know if i should sell the draper and buy a fixed screen or seeing as how this one is paid for cut the screen loose and make some kind of frame for it. Anyone have a link to something like that being done. I feel pretty sure it would be easy to do im just not sure how to hold the screen material to the frame and how to pull it tight. Thanks for any advice given.

Heres a link to a couple pics
