Screen Pastures

Outdoor Home Theater Screen

Sucker.

All that slaving away under the hot summer sun to preserve your luscious green grass. And for what? To show up your smug neighbor with the annoyingly perfect lawn.

Instead of keeping up with the Joneses, blow them out of the water: Make your yard the universally accepted envy of the block with a gigantic eight-foot outdoor home theater screen.

Just position it in a place of honor and hook up the two weatherized speakers. Thanks to a built-in power pump, the projection surface inflates in just four minutes. Then find yourself a nature-friendly projector and prepare to be idolized.

The screen stays put with the help of two nylon rope tie-downs. So your television will long be the object of everyone’s affection. Until, of course, the neighbors get one.

Then it’s back to making sure that your grass is always greener.
