Audio and Visual Upgrades
These are the Music and Video options I used in my backyard for outdoor movie nights.
This is not a stock photo, it’s my actual backyard setup at my old house. I pulled it straight from the old listing. Some of my favorite memories with my kids are under this palapa watching movies at night. Christmas, Halloween, you name it, any excu...
Set up an Outdoor Movie Night with a built in Projector!
I built one of these for a friend a few years ago using this kit. It’s super easy, and makes you look like a complete Pro. We still use it by the pool. Pair with outdoor tv.
TVs are cool… but Hidden Secret Motorized TVs are better
We love our Sonos, and it is great for 2 reasons: the app/integration, and the sound quality. The app lets you merge various speakers throughout the house, syncing music throughout. It’s pricey but nothing else compares.
Not just any soundbar, but Sonos
Cooking Appliances… We aren’t talking grills here
You likely only need one or two of these options to host and impress your friends. I look for any reason I can to overcook for friends and loved ones.
This is a great alternative to a Santa Maria Grill. This was a Christmas present I received a few years ago and it has opened up new horizons for me. Wings, are especially great over the open fire.
Grill on an Open Flame with a KUDU Grill
This was our first pizza oven. Nothing better than hosting pizza parties where your guests get to build their own pizzas.
Get an Outdoor Pizza Setup. I have an Ooni Setup.
We’ve had a Traeger for 10+ years. Once they introduced WiFi… I was smoking briskets in my sleep. Literally.
Upgrade your BBQ by getting a Traeger. WiFi is a must.
I’ve traveled with my blackstone to many events. Work functions, church events, and even cooking for a garage sale. Breakfast, is my favorite, but the funnest is going full hibachi.
Get a Blackstone. These are GREAT for breakfast.

Looking to impress your friends and be excellent hosts? These entertainment options are perfect additions to any backyard.
My brother kept this fire pit active year round at each event at his house. He kept it under a covered patio, and it worked great in the winter.
Get a Firepit. I Love the Solo Stove Brand
You gotta provide activities for your guests. This is a hit at my house once the drinks start flowing.
Set up Cornhole. A fun backyard Activity.
I have this exact swing set, and let me tell ya, it’s worth it. If you have young kids, this thing is a hit when their friends come over. Sit back grab a beer or Margarita and let them go nuts.
Get a Swingset for the Kids… I bought the Gorilla Playset.
