Make the most of your garden this summer
Do you wish that you could make your garden the ultimate entertaining space?
Over the last few months, enjoying our gardens and outdoor spaces has never been more important.
When the sun is shining, we all want to be outside. If you want to enjoy the company of your loved ones safely in the haven of your own home, then why not try to improve your outdoor entertaining experience with the latest technology?
Outdoor Speakers
There are a number of discreet audio solutions on the market that provide an immersive and controlled way of enjoying your favourite music in your garden, which means that high quality audio doesn’t need to stay indoors.
One way we can achieve this is using a series of distributed speakers carefully hidden in borders and planters which will provide an invisible sound to be directed exactly where you need it whilst maintaining exceptional quality of sound.
Systems can be as simple as two small satellite speakers and a buried sub bass, or all the way up to a larger garden wide and zoned audio solution which allows you to listen to your favourite music in higher quality but at lower volume levels.
Traditionally outdoor speakers are located on the back of a property mounted high up and facing towards the neighbours which unfortunately means that you miss the best sound, and you have to listen at a higher volume levels and your neighbours hear more than you!
Outdoor TVs
Having an outdoor TVs is another amazing addition to a patio or outdoor space and is a great way to keep all of your family and friends happy and provide the ultimate outdoor entertaining experience. Imagine watching your favourite sports whilst enjoying the sun or watching a movie on a summer’s evening whilst experiencing fully immersive surround sound.
All of this is possible with a range of high definition 1080 and UHD 4K screens that are designed to combat the high brightness of a summer’s day. Outdoor TV screens can come in myriad of sizes from 27” to 110” and are built to withstand all weather conditions! The average indoor TV has a brightness of 450-500 NITS when an outdoor TV has a brightness of up to 25,000 Nits allowing you to view you favourite shows, movies and sport in all that mother nature has to throw at us!
Outdoor Cinema
Why not take this a step further and install an outdoor cinema projection system? Your movie nights would never be the same again!
A decent outdoor projector will feature high contrast, high resolution and high brightness so that you are able to enjoy your movie nights from early evening all the way into the night. There are a number of weatherised solutions on the market that mean you can have a large projection screen coupled with an outdoor sound system for the ultimate viewing experience.
Outdoor Lighting
If you want to make the most of your garden space and you’re planning on using your gardens at night time, then lighting needs to be included to ensure that you and your family are safe, but you can do this in a way which is still going to be aesthetically pleasing.
Whether you have some simple bollard lights hidden in planters or around pathways, or linear lighting under decking or steps to guide you around and to and from the property.
Another way could be to use wall lights. With countless styles available on the market, this is an ideal solution to provide a practical level of light but these can also be used to accentuate the architecture of your property and landscaped areas.
