Choosing an outdoor TV lift cabinet takes you one step closer to creating a dream outdoor entertainment space which you can enjoy with friends, family, and neighbors for years to come. If you already have an indoor pop up TV lift cabinet, you may have a clear idea about what you’re looking for. But if an outdoor TV is new to you, we’re here to help with some practical tips to narrow down your search.
One of the most important things to think about when choosing a design is the size of your TV. That’s because all outdoor TV lift cabinets are designed to fit specific screen sizes. Our cabinets are built to accommodate 55-, 65-, 75-, 77-, 85-, and 86-inch TVs. Not all designs can accommodate all TV sizes. Some may be intended for use with 55-, 65-, 75- inch TVs only, for example.
One of the great things about having a TV outside is the enormous choice you have when it comes to placement. Our clients often tell us they plan to place their new weatherproof cabinet by their pool or hot tub. Others want to add an extra amenity to their outdoor dining area or verandah, while patios, decks and rooftops are also popular.
From time to time, you may wish to move your outdoor TV to a new location. If it’s usually on the patio but you’d also like the option to have it by the pool when friends or over or the kids are off school, you’ll need to have a cabinet with wheels. You can choose to add lockable castors to our designs to make moving your outdoor cabinet much easier. Simply wheel your cabinet to a new location and then lock the wheels to keep it securely in place. This is something you’ll want to decide on before you place your order, so that the wheels can be fitted prior to the cabinet being shipped to your home.
If you live in a particularly hot and sunny climate, it’s worth thinking about whether a cabinet with additional in-built shade would provide greater functionality for your home. Our Night and Day outdoor TV lift cabinet looks fantastic with an umbrella raised during the day – and provides shade so you can easily see your TV screen when it’s especially bright out.
If you love to entertain, think about additional features that could elevate your enjoyment of your outdoor space even further. If you constantly have guests over, opting for a design with a built-in bar or serving station is practical and convenient. You won’t need to keep running back inside to keep everyone’s drinks topped up and can easily store glasses, serve wear and chill drinks right by the TV.
If you have a large space or think that you may like to watch from different locations, a 360-degree manual swivel means you can move the TV to the perfect viewing angle. This is useful if you go from the patio to the pool, for example, and still want to see what’s on screen.
