Reimagine Your Outdoor Living Spaces With Entertainment Technology

Upgrade your patio, pool deck, and outdoor kitchen with the amenities you need for fun in the sun

Summer is here in Plymouth, MN, meaning you no longer have to spend every waking moment inside at the risk of freezing in the icy winter temperatures. It’s time to clean the pool, sweep the patio, and start planning your first outdoor bash with family and friends. 

Elevate your exterior living spaces with outdoor entertainment systems like landscape audio, weatherproof TVs, LED smart lighting, and extended Wi-Fi access to bring more enjoyment and comfort to your get-togethers this summer. Read our blog to learn about the technology solutions you need to get entertainment in your outdoor zones!

Pool Deck

Audio, lighting, and Wi-Fi are three of the most important technologies to include on the pool deck. A superb sound system allows you to blast an upbeat Spotify playlist during pool parties or a relaxing collection of your favorite songs while you suntan in the early afternoon. For great audio, we love Paradigm outdoor loudspeakers. Garden Oasis satellite speakers can be ground-mounted around the pool area, or rock speakers can be nestled seamlessly into the landscape surrounding the pool. Paradigm speakers are designed to deliver powerful sound in expansive outdoor spaces, meaning you’ll be able to enjoy your music over the sounds of laughter and splashing in the pool.

Outdoor wireless access points extend your Wi-Fi coverage so that you can stream music to your heart’s delight no matter where you are. Enjoy crystal clear audio without any buffering.

Is the sun setting before the fun is over? No problem — LED lights around the pool can provide soft illumination for late-night swims. Invest in smart, color-changing LEDs to maintain a fun and playful mood after the sun goes down.

Open-Area Courtyard

Create an outdoor media room in your open-area courtyard with a weatherproof TV, audio, Wi-Fi and mood lighting. For a courtyard area that gets direct sunlight, we love SunBrite’s Pro 2 Series television. SunBrite’s TV is up to four times brighter than an indoor TV and has Tru-Vision anti-glare display to give a clear and brilliant picture in direct sunlight from any angle. The Pro 2’s 4K resolution and HDR formatting deliver vibrant, detailed picture quality with fantastic color and contrast — even in direct sunlight. 

The Pro 2 Series has a generous media bay for connecting media streamers, cable, Blu-ray, and gaming systems. Spend the day playing video games with friends, then transition into a movie marathon when the sun sets. Strategically placed wireless access points ensure that you have the coverage to stream media for hours without losing connection. The Pro 2 doesn’t come with built-in audio, but you can purchase a compatible SunBrite soundbar or connect an outdoor audio system from a brand like Paradigm. 

After the movie is over, light up the courtyard with your landscape lighting fixtures and pour everyone a round of drinks to discuss the film and keep the party going strong. 

Outdoor Kitchen

The grill master shouldn’t have to miss out on any of the fun while he or she is mixing drinks and cooking the hamburgers and hotdogs. On game day, you can start preparing the food without missing a second of the big game with an outdoor TV installation. If your kitchen is in an enclosed space, we recommend the SunBrite Veranda Series (full-shade) or Signature Series (partial sunlight) to watch the game in 4K HDR picture quality. If you’re preparing a new recipe for dinner, pull up the step-by-step video guide on YouTube on your display to follow along as you cook. 

If you can’t get into the cooking zone without pumping your favorite playlist, Paradigm has you covered with the Garden Oasis speakers that can be deck-mounted, wall-mounted, or eave-mounted. And don’t forget to add lighting — cooking after dark can be dangerous without proper illumination.
