Make the Most of Your Time at Home with Outdoor Entertainment

The current COVID-19 restrictions are impacting everyone. Everyone is having to make adjustments for work, school, and entertainment, with every member of the family at home and juggling all of these activities in the same place.

In many cities across Texas, public spaces are closed or have restricted use, creating more limited opportunities for recreation outdoors. But that doesn’t mean you can’t make the most of your own outdoor space for you and your family.

Generally, at this time of year, we like to write about outdoor AV and technology solutions, as spring weather in Texas is an excellent time to implement these projects. Despite the current environment, we still think it’s an excellent time to consider outdoor entertainment upgrades for your Corpus Christi home. Not only will it help with easing family time during this period; it's also an investment in your home for years to come.

Outdoor Sound

Music can set the mood for any activity and elevate an experience. Set the ambiance outside with music for individual and family activities with tunes you'll enjoy. Spring is the time when annuals get planted, and gardens are refreshed for summer months. Get the whole family together for these projects outside, perhaps even letting kids pick some plants they'd like to have. Liven up these projects with music the entire family can enjoy.

If the kids are inside and you need some “me” time, your outdoor sound system can be set to play some relaxing adult music for an evening cocktail. If you have a pool and spa, speakers placed around the spa can add to the atmosphere when soaking sore muscles.

You may be surprised at the plethora of speaker options for your outdoor space. In your garden, buried subwoofers and spike-mounted satellite speakers can blanket the area with even, full-bodied sound while being almost invisible. In your covered patio, you can mount speakers in the ceiling or choose surface-mount models that attach to a wall, and both can be painted to blend in with their surrounding trim. Around pools, water features, and gardens, speakers that look like rocks withstand wet areas while providing full-range sound and looking like part of the landscape.

Outdoor TV

You can go a step further with outdoor entertainment by bringing video outside. TV models made for outdoor use are the best option. Some are bright enough to be watched in full sunlight, while other models are better suited for partial shade and some in fully shaded covered patios. All outdoor TVs have weather resistance, unlike indoor models, to withstand heat, cold, humidity, and even bugs. Imagine spending time outside on warm spring nights enjoying a family movie night under the stars, for a much needed respite from many hours inside.

Outdoor Networking

We all depend on connectivity almost as much as essential utilities. In this time, connectivity is even more critical, with the home becoming the nexus for work, school, and entertainment. Make sure your network works well outside, too. Various options are available from range extenders to mesh networks to separate outdoor networks to service all your outdoor connectivity and entertainment needs. Not only do you want your music, video, and entertainment to have robust connections, but your outdoor space can also provide a change of scenery for work or school.
