Tips on Building an Outdoor Theater

Now that spring is here, families and friends are planning outdoor get-togethers and barbeques. In addition to good food and conversation, you might want to take gatherings to the next level by arranging a movie screening in your yard. In this post, exterior and interior remodeling expert DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Larimer County offers advice on how to transform your backyard into the perfect outdoor theater.

Creating an Outdoor Theater

First and foremost, because no projector can match the brightness of the sun, movie-watching is best done at night. Proper seat and equipment placement is also crucial for the best experience. When viewers are too near to the screen, they’re going to have problems watching as they will have to constantly look up.

The length of the cords, as well as the distance of the power source, also plays an essential role in convenience and safety. After all, no one wants to have disrupted viewing because someone tripped over the wires. If you’re hosting an event near a pool, ensure your setup is far enough from the splash zone.

Projector & Screen

Choose a projector designed for outdoor use, preferably one with built-in Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) capabilities. This feature eliminates the need to manage several wires. And because you’ll be dealing with the elements, pick a screen that’s simple to set up and take down. Make sure it’s strong enough to withstand wind gusts.

Other Considerations

Consider the type of outdoor theater you want to create. Do you want to be able to watch movies outdoors day and night? Or do you prefer outdoor film viewing only at night? Many outdoor screens are equipped with anti-glare technology, allowing them to display images with exceptional clarity even when it’s sunny outside.
