About the service
I install complete backyard outdoor movie setups for homeowners who want a real cinema night without wrestling with a wobbly stand and a bedsheet. My work covers the whole chain: measuring the viewing distance and throw angle to pick the correct screen frame size, building or mounting a fixed-frame or retractable screen with a properly tensioned fabric surface so it stays flat and glare-free in wind, and positioning the projector on a weatherproof housing or a discreet ceiling/post mount rated for outdoor humidity swings.
Sightline planning is the part most people skip and regret later — I check seating rows, fence lines, tree canopy and porch light spill before a single bracket goes in, so the image stays sharp from every lawn chair. Electrical routing is done to outdoor code: GFCI-protected runs, buried or conduit-covered low-voltage cable to the projector mount, and a weatherproof in-use cover on every exposed outlet. Screen fabric selection accounts for ambient light rejection versus a fully dark yard, and I balance frame rigidity against wind loading so a gust doesn't turn the evening into a chase across the lawn.
Typical turnaround is a single working day for a standard frame screen with an existing power source nearby, or up to three days when trenching new low-voltage runs or building a custom frame size. I bring my own screen fabric samples, frame hardware, and a projector test kit to calibrate focus and keystone on site before I call the job done. References, past yard photos, and a written scope with fixed pricing before any tools come out — no surprise add-ons once the frame is half built.
