Creating the Ultimate Outdoor Theater for Your Home



You can spice up your weekly movie nights by watching your favorite flicks under the stars.

If you’re unsure about which features to include in your space, you can always seek assistance from an experienced home renovation company. 

Keep reading for tips on designing and creating the perfect outdoor theater for your home. 

Essential Features Every Outdoor Theater Needs

Projector

For starters, you’ll need a projector with at least 2,000 lumens and an HDMI connection. These specs are ideal for outdoor home theaters. Additionally, choose a product with built-in MHL functionality to keep wires at a minimum. 

Screen

It can be tempting to simply hang a sheet on one side of your home. The problem is even light winds can cause the sheet to shift and ripple, affecting your picture. Invest in a mobile screen that is simple to hang up and take down. Homeowners have several options, including inflatable screens and ones that can be rolled up after use. 

Sound System

If your home theater doesn’t have a built-in audio system, you can get portable outdoor speakers. Home remodeling experts suggest placing speakers in front of the viewers and behind the seats to mimic the effect of a surround-sound system. 

Source

You have several options for where you’ll be projecting your movies from. If you are using online streaming platforms, be sure you have a stable internet connection. You can place a router near or in your outdoor theater if necessary. Playing from a laptop or Blu-ray player is a possibility, but you might need extra extension cords. 

What Your Outdoor Theater Doesn’t Need

If you’re building an outdoor theater, there are several things you shouldn’t do. For instance, it’s never a good idea to place refreshments and food on top of your projector. Never expose any equipment to harsh weather or outdoor elements. Also, be mindful of how loud your audio is. Professionals can help you determine ways to keep the sound from reaching your neighbors.
