Movie night under the stars — in our own garden — is one of our favorite luxuries. The tips of our rosemary hedge or an aloe on the succulent table might poke shadows along the bottom of the screen…but that only adds to the cozy theater feel.
The modern frame that supports and encloses our pull-down screen was designed and built by Ryan back in 2011, a little while before we started blogging. (Our reasoning: an outdoor living room wouldn’t really be a living room without a TV.) He built it under our tangerine and orange trees, and since then, we’ve watched concerts, feature films, documentaries and old episodes of Beat-Club featuring Chuck Berry in our yard after dark.
How To Make Your Own Backyard Movie Theater & The Best Summer Movies
We also used the outdoor theater while hosting a Super Bowl party, which became controversial in the comments section of Apartment Therapy; we’re also sensitive to the noise issue and we swear we haven’t had any complaints from neighbors, thanks to generous-enough margins around our properties. Keeping the volume at a reasonable level and inviting our neighbors to the parties in question has also helped. Also, wireless headphones are essential! We use them whenever we watch movies.
To broadcast sound outside we connect RCA cables from our receiver‘s Zone 2 output to another amplifier that we mounted under an eave. From the amplifier we connected quality weatherproof outdoor speakers. We own four wireless headphones but only need to connect one of their bases to the receiver’s headphone jack. RF headphones work great because there is no visual/audio delay in the sound broadcast and there is no limit to how many people can listen in.
If you do not want to hard-wire your sound, you can use a low-latency Bluetooth transmitter to broadcast sound from your laptop to your low-latency Bluetooth headphones or outdoor speaker system (using a low-latency receiver). This will work great if you are projecting from an HDMI output on your laptop. Make sure to check that your Bluetooth transmitter can accept multiple connections if you want to enjoy movie night with friends without disturbing the neighbors.
Wandsworth Cinema Left 'fending For Themselves' During The Pandemic
As far as logistics go, we bring our programs to the big screen using an HD projector that we switch between indoors and outdoors. To simplify moving the projector outside, we hard-wired a long 75FT HDMI cable from our indoor receiver’s second HDMI output to the projector’s location for outdoor projecting. We also have a second power cable pre-wired in that location, too, so setting up the projector outdoors takes less than five minutes.
If you don’t want to hard-wire your outdoor connections, these new portable projectors seem to be a great solution for quickly setting up your outdoor theater from a laptop near the projector.
We love Optoma’s line of projectors for their brightness and overall value. We recently upgraded to the Optoma HD27HDR for an even brighter picture than the Optoma HD180 shown here.
