Summer is kicking off this weekend with Memorial Day 2021, and you may be wondering how you can take your TV out of the living room and relax with your favorite shows and movies outside. Creating an outdoor nook to watch television shows, sports and films has always been a great way to celebrate longer days and warmer nights, but now is even a better time to have a space to hang out with friends and family, and watch things like the long-awaited Friends reunion on HBO Max.

So how do you watch TV outside? Here’s how to bring your entertainment outdoors with the perfect, weather-resistant streaming area on your deck, backyard or garden. From an outside TV cover to an outdoor TV enclosure to the best outdoor TV, here are a few products, to make sure you’re ready to stream for the summer.
