Outdoor Entertainment Set

It's time to take things outside. Years ago, friends of ours hosted a film festival in their Noe Valley backyard. And, ever since, we've toyed with the idea of setting up outdoor screenings of our own.

We thought about taking the lazy route and just throwing up a white canvas or something against the fence or back side of the house. (Would that even work?) But now PB Teen has introduced an Outdoor Entertainment Set.

For $1,899, you get a wood-framed projection screen and the hardwood stage on which it sits. The retractable screen can be stored inside when not in use.

At that price, we would want to use the screen a lot — and maybe rent out the stage area for neighorhood jam sessions and skits.

I bet it's much cheaper to just build one yourself.

I think hanging a roll up screen from the eaves of the building could work. And it would be much cheaper.

WalMart is supposed to carry an inflatable movie screen this June for around $200, similar to those awful air filled christmas decorations they have.

We have watched movies outside a couple of times. One of our friends has a screen we just hang it from some wire we have strung between some tree branches. Works like a charm.

I agree with Sarah... a blank screen (or straight sheet) hung from tree branches works amazingly well. I watched Casablanca last year under a starry sky on a warm summer evening at my friend's cabin... it was absolute bliss.
