OUTDOOR TV CABINET
Conceal and store the TV in your outdoor space.
Take the watch party outside with these building plans for a customizable TV cabinet. An outdoor TV cabinet offers more opportunities for entertaining guests, and it can help make getting outside part of your family’s everyday routine. The natural wood finish from YellaWood® brand materials make for a beautiful cabinet whether it’s open or closed. Hang, store, and enjoy your TV outside for years to come with this project plan that's built to last.
This outdoor TV cabinet can be built in just a weekend—a small amount of time compared to the years of entertainment it offers. Before you know it, your outdoor space will be the go-to spot for watch parties.
We highly recommend storing only weatherproof, outdoor TVs in this cabinet and only placing them in spaces that offer additional protection from the elements like screened in porches.
