The article will also describe why you may want to consider installing a projector screen: movie viewing and desktop computer use, as well as gaming.
Preparation of the area/room where the screen is going to be installed:

The room must be large enough for the screen. The room will have to have a flat surface by which to mount the screen and freestanding walls.

Minimum space requirements are 10 ft x 10 ft if there are no supporting structures, and 12 feet x 12 feet if there are supporting structures. The projectors can be mounted on stands that are freestanding, or they can work on a table specifically built.

Freestanding mounts are preferred. If the room is curved or uneven, the walls need to be flat and the floor must be hard.

Number of Projectors:
The number of projectors must be equal to or less than the number of screen size options. This ensures that there will be enough distance between each projector and screen/towel.

Simply divide this distance by 2. For example, if you have 9 inch screens, then have a minimum of 3 inches between them and projectors. Do not make this more than 25% more for safety reasons (standard anywhere in the world).

Rodas1 (the people in charge at Magnolia Pannier) recommends making this percentage equal to 4 inches. If a projector is less than 10 inches from the screen, it is best to have multiple projectors arranged in a line (See image below) or evenly spaced. If there are more than one projector:

The projectors can be as close as .25 inches from eachother (the closer the better for best quality).
The distance between the screens and the projectors should be 0 inches.

How to connect the screens: “S” hooks on each corner of the screen and then hang them on chains.
They are hung at the same height with enough space in between so that they can easily be adjusted up or down. They are then connected to the projector.

How to connect the projectors: If the screens are hung on chains, the projectors can be mounted on the top or bottom of a stand so they are level with eachother and the screens.

There can also be a piece of wood or metal to which they can be mounted. The projectors need to be spaced evenly from one another by a distance equal to their own width (this is .25 inches for most projectors). They need to face away from eachother and at an angle so that there is “no light leakage”.

How to install the screen: The screen is attached to the wall using chains. The chains must be anchored to the wall and ceiling, otherwise they will be too loose and they will fall down.

Attach the screen at its very top, bottom, and middle. This ensures that it is securely in place, and it prevents any buckling or belting of the screen.

How a projector works: A projector produces light by burning an electric filament inside a glass bulb. The electricity comes through a coiled wire (called an electrode) to the metallic tip of which heats up when exposed to electricity producing light.
