Preserve the View While Having Your Technology Too
There's something magical about Midwest evenings at the lake—watching the sunset paint colors across the water while a gentle breeze rustles through the trees. You bought your lake house for these moments. Nature is the focal point of this vista, and we want to keep it that way while still adding conveniences like outdoor televisions. This gives you the opportunity to host the big game viewing party in your backyard, where people naturally gather at your lakehouse.
Modern hidden technology solutions can give you the best of both worlds—magically appearing on cue when you need them, and vanishing the rest of the time. With the right outdoor technology and design, you'll never have to compromise on the views or the experience.
TV Solutions that Preserve the Views
Outdoor TVs can be quite large—often 75 inches or more. Many outdoor TV cabinets now have weatherproof designs that protect your equipment while blending with your deck or patio aesthetic. With the press of a button, your TV emerges for the big game or movie night, then disappears back into its housing when not needed.
For even greater flexibility, explore the innovative mounting options that are available. TV lifts can descend from pergola ceilings or rise from custom cabinetry built to match your landscape elements. Swivel mechanisms allow screens to rotate 360 degrees, ensuring you can enjoy the perfect viewing angle while you're in the hot tub or dining on your deck. These systems can be custom-built using materials that complement your existing outdoor features, whether that's natural stone, stucco, or weather-resistant wood. Some homeowners have even incorporated TVs into dock seating areas or fire pit surrounds, allowing entertainment to appear precisely where and when you want it.
Invisible Audio That Blankets Your Outdoor Space
Quality sound doesn't need to come with visual clutter. Modern audio solutions can deliver immersive experiences while remaining virtually invisible to the eye. Weather-resistant speakers can be tucked under the eaves of covered patios or mounted on walls with paintable covers that blend with your home's exterior.
