While I was at this Chanhassen home fixing a botched indoor TV installation, the homeowner requested a second TV for the covered patio. Her daughter wanted outdoor entertainment during the summer months, but she didn't want to invest in a dedicated outdoor TV.
Smart move. Minnesota winters are brutal, and even weatherproof outdoor TVs take a beating. This approach gives you the best of both worlds: full outdoor entertainment all summer, then bring the TV inside before the first snow.
This covered patio features navy-painted horizontal wood siding. Mounting to wood siding requires finding studs behind the boards and using appropriate lag bolts to ensure a secure hold. The full-motion bracket gives flexibility for adjusting the viewing angle depending on where guests are sitting.
No cord concealment needed here—the homeowner prioritized function over aesthetics for a seasonal setup. When autumn arrives, she'll simply unmount the TV and store it indoors until spring.
Outdoor-rated TVs are expensive (often 2-3x the cost of a standard TV) and designed for year-round exposure. If you have a covered patio and you're willing to bring the TV inside during winter, a standard TV with a quality mount is a much more cost-effective solution.
The trade-off: a few minutes of mounting/unmounting twice a year. The savings: hundreds or thousands of dollars.
