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.

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.

A rack and pinion system is pair of gears that converts rotational motion into linear motion, and it is the reliable system that ImportAdvantage has chosen for all its TV lift mechanisms. We believe this system to be the most secure, efficient and quiet option for raising and lowering your flat-screen plasma TV on demand and by the touch of a button.
The rack and pinion system is not only used for TV lift cabinets. In fact, it was invented just about as soon as the wheel was invented, as the wheel is a nothing more than a round cog that moves along a linear surface. The rack and pinion system is used for pulling trains along steep slopes by engaging the circular pinion gear on the bottom of a train to a rack railway between the rails on a railroad. The rack and pinion system is also commonly found in steering mechanisms in steered vehicles. It is what gives a car its responsiveness and the driver a “feel” for the road.

This instant classic of a TV lift cabinet blends a casual design with the tradition of cottage and coastal styles. Finished in a white linen look, the details of the
Coastal Creations TV Lift Cabinet resemble a fine antique, and yet it is power-packed with a
TV lift mechanism capable of lifting a TV up to 130 pounds.
Storage space is no issue in the Coastal Creations TV Lift Cabinet, thanks to its three cabinets (each containing three separate shelves, six of which are adjustable). The cabinet doors are interchangeable with optional screen fittings, which are great for speakers.
The craftsmanship of the Coastal Creations TV Lift Cabinet is reflected in the choice American Maple from which this piece is made. Each of the four feet is hand-turned and conceals non-marking feet, allowing for easier installation, service and cleaning. It is the perfect addition to the living room, bedroom or against any wall in your home.
This beautiful TV lift cabinet will hold a television up to 54 3/4” wide

One of the signature marks of an ImportAdvantage TV lift cabinet, along with its fine craftsmanship, is the durability and silence of its heavy duty lift
mechanism. Impossible to find at the same quality for less money, an ImportAdvantage lift mechanism is the standard in the industry, and it’s very quiet.
Widely used by designers, architects and furniture manufacturers, the “uplift” model is built with a heavy duty rack and pinion system, which has proven the efficiency of its design over many years. It is ultra-silent thanks to its perfectly calibrated gears and slides, and it features an incredibly powerful motor capable of lifting a TV weighing up to 150 pounds.
The Uplift comes in several sizes and models, including the Uplift 3250, 3500, 3700 and Uplift 3875. Each is powered by 110 volts and includes a radio frequency remote control. The Uplift TV lift mechanism has many built-in safety features and can fit universally to most flat screen televisions.

In today’s economy, everyone is looking to protect what they already own, and a TV, DVD player, stereo system and gaming console are investments that are 1) expensive and 2) need to be protected from damage. Thankfully, keeping them tucked away and yet always accessible in a TV lift cabinet is the wisest one-stop solution.
Instead of keeping your TV resting on a low coffee table or behind breakable glass doors, a pop-up TV cabinet quietly lowers it into a hand-crafted and solid hardwood cabinet. The TV is secured to the TV lift mechanism, so there are no fears of accidental tipping.
And when you store your media players in a traditional entertainment center in plain sight, which is where they would normally need to be in order for your remote control to work properly, they are at risk for dust damage and small fingers inserting objects for which they are not meant. These expensive media players are also susceptible to spilled drinks. However, in a TV lift cabinet these media players are
