Make a Home Theater Platform 

Hi @Ben Dupre - my room is 17’W x 25’L. The screen is 115” diagonal. Sitting in the front row, your head is 11’ from the screen. It’s great for movies, but a little close for video games (for me anyway). Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the comment! Actually the platform is not attached to the floor, but it’s heavy enough that it’s not going anywhere. We just hd the whole room recarpeted, so we moved the platform outside, installed the carpet on the normal floor, then brought the platform back in and recarpeted that. It’s been so, so nice for watching movies! We use that setup most weekends now!

Hi Judi - thanks for the kind comment! We use this theater for “family movies” almost every weekend now. We love it!

Thanks for watching LaShona B! We use this theater setup for “family movie night” all the time now!

Yeag

Agreed, I think that’s sufficient as long as your seating isn’t too far away. I’ve certainly seen theaters with smaller screens than that!

Hello! The freight would certainly cost more than the materials, unless you were my neighbor ;)

Hi Adrianne Meldrum - it was pretty quick, probably just a day or two’s work including the materials run. A framing nailer speeds it up quite a bit. Thanks for watching!

Glad it helped

Hello! I used 2x8’s. You could use 2x10’s if you need the height though.

You stinker! I didn’t even post it 9 minutes ago, so I know you didn’t even watch it!
