Outdoor Cabana TV Problem
Posted on 4/14/16 at 5:07 am
Posted on 4/14/16 at 5:07 am
We have a cabana in the backyard that is near the pool. The cabana has electrical but is otherwise far distance from the house. I'd like to put a large tv out there. Problem is, I don't want you to see the tv when it's not in use and like a mount that could somehow hide it.
They have smaller tv mounts that flip up. Do they make them for larger tvs? It'd be ideal to have the tv flip up, underneath the under roof of the cabana, so it is out of sight when not in use.
Do people make brackets? Has anyone encountered a similar problem and came up with a solution?

I'm afraid that I couldn't see the projector screen during the daylight.

A projector is a terrible idea for outside.
Chief mounts has some motorized lifts where you could hide the TV in a cabinet and have it pop out when using it.
Hidden Vision also has some cool solutions for hiding a display but they get expensive.

What size TV are you looking at putting out there? Depending on that, you will most likely be paying as much (or more) for a mount than you would the TV.

here's what i did a few years back:

that little tv mount used to be $10 at ikea and worth every penny.
when the tv isn't in use, we had some outdoor decor that is in front of that but i dont have a pic.
tvs are light enough these days to bring indoors when not in use.

What size TV? I assume you want this for security purposes.
If it flips up, would the screen be flush against a ceiling?
You may be better off building an additional cabinet that you can lock, with the TV in it?
I would focus less on the security on more on the ascetics. If a TV is left outside and someone wants to steal it, they will most likely be able to without a problem.
