Creating the Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment Space

There’s nothing quite like enjoying the great outdoors from the comfort of your own backyard, especially when it's been transformed into the ultimate entertainment space. Whether you're hosting summer BBQs, watching the big game under the stars, or simply relaxing with music and friends, the right setup can make your backyard the go-to hangout spot.

At Gibby’s Electronics Supermarket, we specialize in helping you plan and build your dream outdoor entertainment zone, from the layout and product selection to professional installation. No matter your space, compact or sprawling, here’s how to get started.

The first thing to do is think about how you'd like to use your outdoor space. Do you dream of watching movies by the pool? Grilling with friends on the patio? Or listening to your favourite playlists while the kids play sports on the lawn?

Some common zones to consider include:

• Outdoor Kitchen/BBQ Area
• Dining or Patio Lounge
• Pool or Hot Tub
• Recreation Area (games, sports, kids' zone)
• Garden or Landscaping Highlights

Once you've identified your zones, it’s easier to plan the right tech for each.

In a smaller backyard, it's all about maximizing space without sacrificing style or sound.

Tech Recommendations:

• Mountable Patio Speakers: Great for adding clear, balanced sound to patios or balconies. Brands like Klipsch and Paradigm offer sleek options that tuck neatly into tight spaces.
• Outdoor TVs & Soundbars: Choose a compact Samsung Terrace or Furrion outdoor TV paired with a weatherproof soundbar. Wall-mounted options save space and resist the elements.
• Landscape Lighting: Subtle LED path lights can create a warm ambiance and make your space feel bigger at night.
• Outdoor Wi-Fi Access Points: Strong, seamless internet for streaming music or movies outside is a must. We offer outdoor-rated access points to keep your connection solid.

✅ Pro Tip: Even small spaces benefit from smart design. A mounted TV, some cozy seating, and strategically placed speakers can turn your patio into a private oasis.

With a bit more room, you can start dividing your space into dedicated zones.

Tech Recommendations:

• Rock Speakers: Blend into your garden or around pathways. Paradigm and Klipsch make weatherproof models that look like natural stones but sound amazing.
• Satellite Speakers: Place these throughout the yard for even sound coverage. These discreet speakers work beautifully in landscaped flowerbeds or along pathways.
• In-Ground Subwoofers: Want deep, rich bass without big, bulky speakers? Bury a subwoofer in your garden and feel the music without disrupting your design.
• Outdoor TVs & Soundbars: Mount a TV on your covered patio or pergola. A Samsung or Furrion unit paired with a weatherproof soundbar turns movie night into an experience.
• Wi-Fi Access Points: Medium yards often need a dedicated outdoor Wi-Fi booster to keep your devices connected during parties or pool time.

✅ Pro Tip: Layering audio throughout your zones ensures everyone hears crisp sound whether they're by the grill, at the dining table, or playing yard games.

If you have the space, why not create the ultimate backyard resort?

Tech Recommendations:

• All of the Above… Plus More!
• Multiple Zones with Custom Audio Control: Use Paradigm or Magnat speaker systems to create distinct sound zones. Relaxing music near the hot tub, lively playlists by the pool, and cozy camp tunes by the fire pit.
• Full Sound Systems: Combine rock speakers, satellite speakers, and in-ground subwoofers for immersive, cinema-quality sound throughout your yard.
• Multiple Outdoor TVs: Install TVs in different zones. One on the patio, one near the hot tub or outdoor bar. Brands like Furrion offer large-screen options built to endure the elements.
• Advanced Landscape Lighting: Highlight pathways, trees, and water features for a dramatic nighttime vibe.
• Expanded Wi-Fi Coverage: With multiple access points, everyone can stream, game, and scroll without a hitch even at the far end of the yard.

✅ Pro Tip: With a large yard, plan your infrastructure (power, Wi-Fi, cable routing) first, then build your zones around it. This saves headaches and money down the road.
