Outdoor Movie Screens
Your screen should be weatherproof and explicitly designed for the outdoors. If you have the means for it, investing in a weatherproof movie screen is the best way to ensure that your outdoor home theater will last. This is also so that you do not have to worry about installing, bringing it inside, and re-installing it every time you use it. You can even choose from inflatable to underground screens that raise for viewing. Depending on your screen's actual size, they usually vary in tolerance when it comes to the weather, but they come with the accessories that will hold them firmly into the ground.
Inflatable Movie Screens
It is also essential to make sure to understand how the system inflates. Even though most movie screens are quite similar when it comes to inflating, some come with internal fans. Some inflate faster than others, while others may need more than a single person to complete the setup. Even before the actual purchase, it is imperative to familiarize yourself with the features of your planned backyard theater setup. Make sure that you have the right screen size. You may also want to take into consideration the kind of projector that you will use. If you want HD, getting an HD projector will allow you to be completely immersed in your favorite movies. Finally, it is also essential to ensure that you have the right place to install the system to not have any issues with the layout and seating. Outdoor theater seating does not have to be expensive. A comfortable blanket or an oversized beanbag are wonderful choices.
Outdoor Audio And Projectors
By installing weatherproof speakers, you do not have to worry about potential damage and costly repairs. Weatherproof speakers come in many variations and designs. Some are traditional, while others mimic rocks, planters or landscape lighting. Underground sub-woofers are an excellent way to maximize their effect. While projectors aren’t weatherproof, there are options to ensure that they remain undamaged. One way is to bring out the projector and then, after watching your movie, bring it safely back indoors. Another way is to have the projector come out of a weatherproof vault in the ground or to have a weatherproof box installed in a protective enclosure that protects it from the harsh outdoor elements. There are many options that fit your needs.
