Use an outdoor-rated TV
Indoor TVs are not built for rain, dust, or direct sun. Even under a covered patio, heat and humidity can damage internal parts and void the warranty. We recommend outdoor-rated models like Samsung Terrace or SunBrite, which are designed for temperature swings, moisture, and bright light.
Choose a weatherproof mount
Outdoor mounts are made from rust-resistant materials such as powder-coated steel or aluminum. They are rated for wind, rain, and UV exposure. A full-motion outdoor mount is especially useful because it lets you turn the screen away from the sun or stow it flat against the wall when not in use.
Our outdoor installation process
- We inspect the wall or post material — wood, stucco, brick, or concrete — and choose the correct anchors.
- We seal every penetration with exterior-grade silicone to prevent water intrusion.
- We run outdoor-rated cable management or conduit to protect power and HDMI lines.
- We position the screen to minimize glare and maximize viewing angles for seating areas.
- We test the mount under movement to make sure it holds in wind.
Glare and placement tips
Choose a spot with natural shade, or add a tilting mount so you can reduce glare during afternoon sun. South- and west-facing walls get the most direct light. If shade is limited, an anti-glare outdoor screen is worth the investment.
Power and wiring
Outdoor power must be GFCI-protected. If no outlet is nearby, we partner with licensed electricians to add one safely. We never run indoor extension cords or leave connections exposed to the elements.
When to book with us
Outdoor installs involve more than a bracket and screws. If you want a TV that survives LA heat, Santa Ana winds, and occasional rain, let us handle the mount, seals, and wiring from the start.
