There’s nothing quite like the magic of watching a movie under the stars, surrounded by friends and family. This summer, with a little bit of planning, some basic equipment, and Xplore’s ultra-fast Internet, you can transform your backyard into a cozy outdoor cinema. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started.
First things first, pick a spot in your backyard that’s flat and has enough space for seating. Make sure it’s away from streetlights and other sources of light pollution. A clear wall or a large fence can serve as a perfect backdrop for your screen.
You’ll need a few key items to set up your outdoor cinema:
Projector: Look for one with 2,000 lumens or more, depending on the size of your screen, to ensure a bright, clear picture.
Screen: You can buy an inflatable screen, use a white sheet, or even paint a section of your wall white.
Speakers: Portable Bluetooth speakers work great, but for a more immersive experience, consider a soundbar or a set of outdoor speakers.
Media Player: This could be a laptop, DVD player, or streaming device. Make sure it’s compatible with your projector.
Position your screen in your chosen spot and set up the projector on a stable surface. If you’re using a sheet, make sure it’s pulled tight to avoid wrinkles. Connect your media player to the projector and do a quick test to ensure everything is working properly.
Comfort is key! Arrange chairs, blankets, and pillows for your guests. Lawn chairs, bean bags, and even inflatable loungers can make for cozy seating options. Don’t forget to provide some bug spray to keep those pesky mosquitoes at bay.
No movie night is complete without snacks. Set up a table with popcorn, candy, and drinks. You could even get creative with themed snacks based on the movie you’re watching.
If you’re streaming your movie, a reliable internet connection is crucial. This is where Xplore’s fast and dependable Internet service comes in handy. Xplore has been working tirelessly to bring faster, better Internet to Canadians in rural areas. Wireless Home Internet with speeds up to 100 Mbps and gigabit speed Fibre Internet are now available across the country!

For those who want to ensure a strong Wi-Fi signal throughout their backyard, Xplore’s Whole Home Wi-Fi is a game-changer.

This means you can enjoy a strong, uninterrupted connection in every corner of your backyard, making it perfect for streaming movies.
Enhance the ambiance with some string lights or lanterns. Provide blankets for when the temperature drops, and consider setting up a fire pit for added warmth and atmosphere.
Once everything is set up, it’s time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the movie. Invite your neighbors and make it a community event – after all, the more, the merrier!
