There’s nothing like spending time outdoors during the summer months, or just about any time of the year, but even for those who have created a backyard sanctuary, entertainment such as that which can be accessed indoors is also still desired even as the fresh air and beautiful scenery are enjoyed.  The good news is that with proper planning, you can enjoy just about all of the technological amenities you have in the comfort of your home while you enjoy the great outdoors.

Outdoor entertainment can comprise anything from a set of speakers strategically placed to blend in around your pool or patio to a full blown home theater system.  Many homeowners, despite wanting some form of entertainment outside their home, opt for something relatively basic just to provide the entertainment they crave without going overboard.  But there are those who seek far more elaborate systems, and those are feasible as well.

One of the most popular outdoor entertainment options is a set of rock speakers, providing quality sound while blending in seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.  The speakers come in a variety of shapes and sizes and look like they belong outdoors without detracting from the scenery.  If you have a covered patio or other area, you may want to opt for outdoor speakers that look like actual speakers but are built to withstand the elements outside.

Televisions are also becoming an increasingly popular option for homeowners who enjoy spending time outdoors.  There are options that are waterproof, as well as glare resistant, so whether you want to watch your favorite football game in the crisp fall air or you can’t get enough of the Bachelor even as you relax outside after a long day of work, entertainment is never far away.

In addition to the basic planning and installation of audio and video equipment, outdoor entertainment systems can be designed to correlate with lighting and water features, and a full home automation system can be set up so that all aspects outdoors can be easily controlled in one location and in unison.  These systems can also include security features that can further enhance your outdoor enjoyment, comfort and functionality.

If you can’t get enough of the entertainment features you enjoy indoors, such as audio and video capabilities, consider incorporating outdoor entertainment features into your backyard design plan.  This will truly make your outdoor space feel like an extension of your home.
