FAQs

Setting up an outdoor cinema is simple! Find a flat, open space and set up a projector and screen or outdoor compatible TV. Connect your device to the projector, ensuring clear audio and video output. Add comfortable seating, dim the lights, and you're ready to enjoy a movie night under the stars.

There are a few essential components that are required to create a successful outdoor cinema setup, these include: 
  • Projector
  • Screen or outdoor-compatible TV 
  • Audio system (soundbar, speakers, amplifier)
  • Media player (laptop, streaming device)
  • Power source (generator or extension cord)
Elevate your outdoor viewing comfort with extra inclusions such as:
  • Picnic mats and blankets 
  • Blankets and cushions
  • Mood lighting or fairy string lights 
  • Snacks and your favourite beverages

For outdoor viewing, consider a portable Bluetooth speaker for casual viewing or a weatherproof outdoor soundbar or sound system for a more immersive experience. Look for features like water resistance, durability, and long battery life. A good audio system should be loud enough to be heard outdoors and provide clear sound quality.

To make your outdoor cinema comfortable, prioritise seating with plush cushions, blankets, and perhaps even bean bags. Consider the weather and provide warmth with heaters or cozy throws. Soft, ambient lighting like string lights or lanterns can create a magical atmosphere. Don't forget about snacks and drinks, and ensure there's enough space for everyone to relax and enjoy the movie.
