If you’re like me, you probably love going to the movies. The dark theater, the comfy seats and the popcorn… it’s all so magical! But let’s be honest: movie tickets are expensive and often times inconvenient to get to if you live in a suburban area or a rural location. If that sounds like your situation then an outdoor theater system might be exactly what you need! Here we’ll outline what an outdoor theater is and how it works so that you can decide if this is something that would work for your home.
What is an Outdoor Theater?

An outdoor theater system is a movie theater you can install in your backyard. The system includes speakers and a projector, which are connected to an internet-connected Wi-Fi network. You can control the system from your phone or tablet, choosing what content to play and when it will play (if at all).

You can use an outdoor theater system as a way to enjoy movies on demand–or even live sports games!
Great for the whole family.

Theater systems are great for the whole family. Kids can enjoy watching their favorite movies in the backyard, and it’s a fun way to socialize with friends. Theaters are also great for date nights, so you can have your own private screening of Casablanca or The Princess Bride!
All you need is your phone, tablet or computer.

The first thing you’ll need is a device with a browser, such as your phone or tablet. From there, you can use any streaming service that’s available on the web–Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime Video all work well with outdoor theater systems. If you’re looking for something more specific to movies in the great outdoors (like an audio-only experience), try Vimeo On Demand or Tubi TV.

The second thing to keep in mind is that these systems are designed for outdoor use: they’re not waterproof or weatherproof and will break if exposed directly to rainwater or snowfall for extended periods of time. So make sure any components used during setup are protected from precipitation before going live!
