Frequently asked questions

• Q: Is the Yard Master OMA1410-116H suitable for all weather conditions? A: The Yard Master is designed with an outdoor-ready housing to withstand typical outdoor use. While it protects the screen surface from moisture and debris, it’s best to provide some shelter from heavy rain and direct prolonged exposure to sun to preserve the housing finish and screen longevity. When not in use, covering the screen or retracting it under a shaded area can help extend its lifespan.
• Q: What kind of projector should I use with a 116" screen? A: For best results, pair the Yard Master with a projector that can deliver bright, high-contrast images at the necessary throw distance for a 116" diagonal. Consider a projector with at least 2,000–3,000 ANSI lumens for vivid daytime outdoor viewing, and higher lumens for brighter, more vibrant images under ambient light. Ensure the projector’s throw ratio matches your space to fill the 16:9 frame correctly.
• Q: Can I mount the Yard Master on a balcony or patio structure? A: Yes. The unit is designed for wall- or ceiling-mill mounting and can be installed on sturdy outdoor structures. Use weather-appropriate mounting hardware and ensure the mounting surface can support the weight and operation of the retractable screen.
• Q: How do I maintain the screen surface? A: Wipe the screen with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive materials that could damage the surface. When required, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and dry thoroughly. Do not scrub to preserve the surface texture and brightness.
• Q: Does the screen come with mounting hardware? A: Yes, the Yard Master typically includes mounting hardware tailored for versatile installation. If your installation environment has unique requirements, opt for compatible anchors and brackets suited to your wall or ceiling material.
