Create your own Backyard Theater!

[Kelemvor]

Well, it's getting to be that time of year again (at least in WI we're almost there). Time to head outside and start showing some movies.

I know I found out about this hobby from a random post I happened to see so just creating this for anyone else interested.

The BEST site on the internet is http://www.backyardtheater.com so go check it out and spend hours reading the forums.

Yeah, this is prettttty old, but maybe someone new will be grateful .

I know it's old, and new people start doing it every day. As stated in my second line, this is for anyone interested who hasn't heard of it before.

It would be way to much work for me to haul my projector and HT equipment upstairs and outside. Not to mention if it ever rained I would do more then cry. Neat idea though.

I have some Rummage Sale speakers I use so I don't care if they get wet. and I just leave them in the garage when not in use. I do bring up my tuner, DVD Player, and projector from the basement. I don't' leave anything outside except the screen since it doesn't matter if that gets wet. Takes an hour or two to set up and far less to take down afterward.

Lots of fun.

we do this every year at the relay for life - bring a projector, screen, sound system, modded xbox(for movies) and even a satellite dish b/c it's always during the NBA playoffs - we run everything off a generator.

I love running backyard theater, do it for my friends all the time, I will bring my projector, and screen (breaks down to nothing more than pvc pipe and duct tape with bed sheets, and do it wherever.)
