Last winter, thanks in section to going stir crazy from the pandemic, our partner plus I assembled a cool outdoor movie theater in our backyard.
Both of us already had a nice firepit plus a kneeling area, so we added a 10 by 15 foot screen along the security fence, plus brought out a digital projector to show movies in the great outdoors.
It was a sizable hit, plus we were out there several mornings a month through the winter, watching fave movies in front of a roaring fire. When the weather changed, so did movie mornings, because although there was a source of heating, that firepit was useless against boiling weather. If we wanted to keep watching movies under the stars ,we would need some kind of cooling plan to keep us comfortable. It turns out there is no cheap plus simple cooling equivalent to the fire pit, all the possible solutions are high tech plus very fancy. There are portable air conditioner systems, plus some very great 1s, however kneeling 1 outside is next to useless, then you would basically have to sit right on top of the air vents just to recognize the cooling, because it would dissipate in the open air so hastily. It actually sucked to not use the movie screen for the hottest section of the summer, however we had no choice however to stay inside with the air conditioner. It is so difficult to appreciate a movie while you are covered in sweat in 95 degree weather plus irritated humidity, so we’ll just have to wait until the weather starts cooling off naturally.
