The best part of fall is sitting around the fire pit with a blanket and something warm to drink. The worst part is heading inside at 8 p.m. because that is where the TV is.
Bring the movie, the game, or the late show out to the fire instead. Each cabinet below is made from weatherproof recycled HDPE, so rain, frost, and falling leaves will not hurt it. The TV stays tucked inside until you press a button, hidden casters let you roll it into position, and three built-in outlets power everything. Here are 9 ways to set up a fall patio you will not want to leave, plus a checklist for cool weather viewing at the end.
1. Soft Grey Beside a Stone Fire Pit
Grey and fieldstone are a natural pair. The Armor in Grey sits next to a round stone fire pit without competing with it, and it hides most 65 inch TVs. One owner noted the company quickly sorted things out when their remote was missing from the box.
2. A Small Black Cabinet for a Cozy Corner Patio
Small patios and townhome courtyards still deserve fire pit nights. The Outdoor Shiplap Small in Black is just 44 inches wide and hides most 43 inch TVs, so it fits in a corner next to a tabletop fire bowl. One customer called it a game changer for their backyard setup.

Before You Light the Fire: 5 Tips for Fall Outdoor TV Nights
- Keep the cabinet away from the flames. Follow your fire pit's clearance guidelines and keep the cabinet and TV well back from sparks and heat.
- Watch the smoke direction. Place the cabinet upwind of a wood fire so smoke does not drift across the screen.
- Mind the dew. Fall evenings get damp. Lower the TV at the end of the night so it is not left out overnight.
- Plan for early sunsets. Add path lights or lanterns so guests can find their way when the TV is the only light.
- Get ready for winter. Once it is too cold to sit outside, add a protective cover or roll the cabinet into a garage.
