Music and a lighting system can really liven up an
outdoor space.
|
Outdoor entertaining is more popular than ever. From casual
barbecues with family to elaborate affairs. The space outside
your home is prime real estate for any kind of occasion.
Or if relaxation is what you crave, a sun drenched deck is the
perfect place for an afternoon nap.
To get the most out of your outdoor space
consider adding, say.... A pair of outdoor
speakers that can deliver music to the area
and even alert you when some one is at the
front door. Even your computer can join you
outdoors. With a wireless network you can surf
the web pool side if you wish. Last, but not
least there are systems that can help you
control the landscape lighting, the front gate,
the hot tub and pool all with a simple press of a
button.
Entertaining
It just isn't a party without music. Consider connecting a
few outdoor speaker to your audio equipment inside,this
way you can spread the music through out the outside of
your home just as easily as you can the inside.
Think about where the guests will probably gather and
plant a few speakers there. Popular areas include the pool
area the barbecue area and the deck. Outdoor speakers
come in all sizes and shapes from ones meant to be
mounted on the house to speakers that look like planters
and hold real flowers.
Another thought is how you might want to control it. It can
be as simple as a speaker selector in the house or a
volume control on the wall outside to a keypad that you
can select the CD you want to play.

For evening gatherings you'll need more than your standard
motion triggered lights for your backyard. Fixtures planted around
the perimeter of patios, decks and other social spots can help
define the area and create a festive atmosphere. Plus make it
easier for them to find there way around.
By adding the outdoor lights to a lighting control system you can
arrange scenes for different activities around the yard.

ideas.
Relaxing
The same music system that can liven up the part can help
you relax. Think about what kind of activities you do
outdoors. Maybe you relive stress by working in the garden.
Maybe your idea of relaxing is snoozing in the Hammock
whatever it is you want to make sure you keep it in mind when
considering speaker and control placement.
Staying in Touch
Even when you can't get outside theres ways you can feel connected to
your outdoor space .Surveillance cameras can show you whats
happening in the back yard, around the pool and in the garden for
example. The cameras can be set up so any TV in the house can view
them. From anywhere in the house you can check up on the dog and
see whose manning the baroque. Outdoor cameras can also provide a
measure of security. For example if you hear something rustling around
in the yard , you can check into it with out going outside.
