does this screen stand up on its own when used inside? - I saw a still on the video of "A" frame legs when the screen is used inside

We used it outside but it was standing OK by itself. We only ran the ropes to steaks when it got a bit windy. The feet are about 3' perpendicular to the screen. Eric

The screen will stand up on its own but for safety reasons you would want to secure it somehow.

The 132in version (which I own) does not really fit inside and does not have "A" frame legs. In fact, when I did use it inside, I had to remove the legs and the bottom bar leaving the bottom of the screen dangling. The experience was alright but I would use a flat grey/white wall instead. The 132in version looks like the one assembled in the video.

The screen does stand on it's own when inside. Be advised though, it is tall (10-11feet tall?) I have used it several times free standing in a gym. I posted a picture.

Easy to put together, was a two person job, now I do it with my 9 yo. It stands on the two legs on its own, I always spike the legs down in case you get a little wind or an excited kid (which we have had). I don't bother tethering the ropes but I guess if your in a pretty windy place then I can see how that would help.

you can use the legs for it to stand on its own. or you can lean it against something. we have done both.

No, it doesn't stand up by itself really. The hard bottom does help and it depends on the balance of the items inside but it's not meant to stay upright.

Yes, I use it all the time to watch a video or watch a movie. You can set it on its side and it stands up. This is really a great find!

To me it is apparent that the screen side is the net side (which is a fine mesh screen with the 4 dividers), NOT the hard plastic side. I have done it this way several times to reactivate the unit. It is working well for me.

I had mine for a few months before I sold it. But it felt very solid. I think the back of the screen was indeed a bit flexible but not enough to cause any problem, and I had to press pretty hard to push it toward the screen.

Yes it seems like a good quality screen. I have it outside in the woods by our cabin. I do not have the stand, but I attach the four corners to trees with hooks. I take it down when we are done using it. We are happy with it.

The stand does not "screw" into the bottom of the screen... there is a quick connect mounting plate and the stand screws to that.

Thank you so much, everyone!! I really appreciate your replies :). I went ahead and ordered a screen.

I believe the door or screen frame would fall out before the screen would tear. This was the best screen I purchased.

Nope. This one is self contained. The glass is more like the plastic/lex an used to protect laptop screens. If you push on it it flexes quite a bit. I actually sent this one back and bought a second pallet Cinema Display.

I setup the frame and attached it using bungi cords to my pipe fence. This has been up for months with no problems. I suspect that if the frame is secured very well it would withstand higher winds but I would be uncomfortable leaving it up all the time. The screen is so easy to remove from the frame that it is not worth the risk to me. Also, being out in the elements for such long periods of time cannot be good for the screen...

I'm not sure I can help, but yes I noticed a slight problem when putting the legs. The center leg is retractable, make sure that you push to its maximum, then R2-D2 would stand properly :-) Also the side leg can rotate, from vertical to a back position.

Sorry, I don't have the frame in front of me, so I can't answer your question, but I bought two of these. The one that I opened has issues with the screen freezing up...constantly. I'd avoid this unit.

I have mine standing on berber carpet and it is fine. It is so heavy that it does fine. Have never had it fall over, in fact, I need my husband to help me move it for cleaning. It is a nice solid screen and I have had many.

Audrey,I've used mine inside without any problems. It does free-stand. If I were to use it outside, I would probably add a small brace from the foot to the vertical part of the stand on each end, but if used properly it is just fine right out of the box. ThanksRon N

No it does not have an internal screen, but we have no problem with grounds.

yes the screen works great for such a low price and you can easily raise and lower it without any issues. The thing is with my setup I never have to even use it because it stays where it is but nice to have that option.
