It means a whole new lease of life for your yard, the chance to host viewing parties and, perhaps best of all, it means you can kick back outside and watch your favorite shows in the comfort of your own space.

But before you get your outdoor TV lift furniture in place, it’s important to consider a few crucial factors. Getting these important choices right will ensure the best experience for everyone and guarantee that your outdoor TV is in the very best position for maximum use. Let’s jump in.

The Look

The first thing to consider when you’re looking at outdoor backyard TV lift furniture is what kind of style you want.

You need to think about the current look of your backyard and consider what will fit with the rest of your design. It might even be that you plan on changing things up and altering the look of your outdoor space, so you don’t want to end up with something that sticks out like a sore thumb. The best outdoor backyard TV lift furniture fits seamlessly with the look of your backyard, and that means appraising your backyard’s current look.

An Outdoor Mamawood Porcelain TV Lift Cabinet is ideal if you have modern, chic design and want something that’s understated and cool. But this option wouldn’t go so well in a yard that is more classic – think leafy and lots of exposed wood – in design. This is when you might want to consider something like the Cabinet Tronix Outdoor Weatherproof Solid Cumaru TV Lift Cabinet, which will mesh much better with a classic American backyard. Or, if you’re looking for something classy and refined, you could consider a design that uses stone and wood to stunning effect, like the Outdoor Mantle TV Lift Credenza. 

Placement

One of the main reasons for getting an outdoor TV lift is the flexibility it gives you when you’re entertaining. If it’s game day and you’ve got family and friends coming over, there’s nothing quite like watching them as a TV rises out of that sleek box they’ve all be admiring.

As such, you need to ensure that your outdoor TV lift cabinet is ideally placed to offer the best view for everyone. You also need to consider where people will congregate and sit once the entertainment starts. This means thinking about where people can comfortably sit on grass or seating – and factor in a few more people than you expect, because they’ll be coming once they get wind of your new outdoor TV lift.

Your Needs

It’s great thinking about where other people will sit and enjoy your new outdoor TV lift, but what about you?

On those quiet nights when you want to sit in the great outdoors and watch a movie or a game of baseball, where do you want to be? It’s important to find a middle ground between the best placement for events and parties and where you will be most comfortable.

Think carefully about this, because you’re going to be spending a bunch of time with the family watching your favorite shows and you need to be sure your outdoor TV lift cabinet is in just the right spot.
