Tension problems with pull up screens

My hotel has a couple of pull up screens that are ultimately much easier to use than most of the other ones (tripods/fast folds/ don’t even get me started on Da-lite NXT)

but I am genuinely struggling to get the screen height I need, even with a ladder, and having to do some goofy shit with my PJs and good old fashioned gaffe tape engineering just to hit the screen

it’s just too damn much tension

obviously I want the screens taught but there has to be some kind of usable middle ground

I’m not at work right now, but I am thinking they are some form of da-lites

does anybody have any experience adjusting the tension on these?
