Transform Your Patio with Premium Outdoor AV

Summer in the Pacific Northwest gives us those perfect evenings we wait for all year. The skies clear, temperatures warm up, and suddenly, your backyard becomes the most valuable real estate you own. But why limit your entertainment to indoors when the weather's finally beautiful?

More Portland homeowners are discovering the joy of extending their living space outdoors with high-performance patio AV systems designed specifically for our climate. At Eighteen Group, we've helped many clients turn ordinary outdoor spaces into extraordinary entertainment areas.

The Pacific Northwest Weather Challenge

Portland's unique climate presents specific challenges for outdoor electronics. Our rainfall, humidity, and temperature swings require technology built to withstand these conditions.

Standard indoor equipment simply wasn't designed for the outdoors. Consumer-grade TVs and speakers might seem like a budget-friendly option, but they'll quickly fail when exposed to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and UV rays – something we know all too well in the Pacific Northwest.

Outdoor TVs That Weather the Storm

When selecting outdoor displays for our clients, we partner with industry leaders like Seura and Sunbrite. These specialized outdoor TVs feature weather-sealed components that protect against Portland's infamous rain and humidity. They offer enhanced brightness to combat glare during those sunny summer days, along with temperature resistance for chilly fall evenings when you're still enjoying outdoor movie nights. The UV protection prevents screen degradation during extended sun exposure.

Whether you're imagining a covered patio setup or a fully exposed poolside theater, these specialized TVs deliver exceptional performance year-round. Sunbrite's Pro Series can handle full-sun environments, while Seura's Ultra Bright displays offer stunning picture quality even in direct sunlight.

Sound That Surrounds Without Overwhelming

For audio that complements your outdoor space without dominating it, we trust Sonance speakers. Their landscape series blends seamlessly into garden beds, while the Mariner series provides robust surface-mounted options for covered patios and decks.

Sonance speakers feature weather-resistant construction that handles our rainy seasons with ease. They provide balanced sound distribution across your entire outdoor space, eliminating "hot spots" where music is too loud. Their architectural designs complement rather than compete with your landscaping, and the scalable systems can grow with your entertainment needs.

We've installed Sonance Garden Series speakers that virtually disappear among plants while filling backyards with rich, immersive sound. For covered areas, the Mariner series delivers exceptional audio quality while withstanding exposure to moisture and temperature changes.
