Building Your Own Outdoor Home Theater



One of the best ways to spice up your get-togethers with friends and family is by watching movies outdoors. In today’s article, home remodel specialist DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Northwest Arkansas shares a few essential tips to help you build an outdoor home theater.

The Basics of an Outdoor Theater

Because no projector can match the brightness of the sun, outdoor film viewing is best done at night. Seating and equipment must be properly arranged for a comfortable viewing experience. Viewers who are too close to the screen may find it difficult to watch since they must constantly look up. 

The length of the cables and the distance between the equipment and the power source are important elements to consider in terms of convenience and safety. After all, no one wants their viewing experience to be disrupted because someone tripped over the cables. If your outdoor theater is next to a pool, be sure your setup is at a safe distance. This will protect your devices from water damage.

Choosing a Screen & Projector

A great outdoor film viewing experience requires reliable equipment. Outdoor projectors with built-in MHL functionality are recommended by home renovation specialists as this lessens the hassle of dealing with too many wires. This also makes it convenient for the host to control the settings remotely. If your outdoor theater isn’t going to be a permanent fixture in your house, choose a screen that’s easy to set up and take down. This will also make it easier for you to disassemble the screen in case of sudden rain or other unforeseen events.

Other Things to Keep in Mind

Consider how often you’ll be using your outdoor theater. Do you want to be able to watch movies any time of the day or just in the evening? Anti-glare technology is used in many outdoor screens, allowing them to display images with exceptional clarity even when exposed to direct sunlight. However, outdoor film screenings are typically scheduled at night so the projector does not have to compete with the light of the sun.
