Walls – How to block a window with plywood for big wall to project a movie

paintingplywoodwalls

I have a kids' playroom with a big wall and a center window. I want to use this wall as a home theater projector screen. I don't want to block the window permanently with a fixed screen, and my existing rolling screen is a smaller one.

So I am trying to block the window with temporary plywood from Lowe's and paint the plywood along with the wall with a white screen painting to play movies.
I want the plywood to be easily removable when I am not playing movies, as I don't want to miss the ventilation when kids are playing in that room.

What are some options for this? I mean, would buying an exact size of plywood and painting that with matching wall color be a good idea?

Cut a sheet of wood into the dimensions of your window. Screw in L brackets in the four corners of the wall where you want to put the wood. Then just like a picture frame you install four rotating pegs to hold the board in place while you watch the movie. Depending on your budget, you could also install magnets on the back of your board to hold it in place without the rotating pegs and screw in a pull tab on one of the sides to easily remove the board.
