I would like to know about showing movies outdoors. Must the projector be in a covered area on the patio or is it ok to have it in the open air?

Do I have to worry about bugs getting into the projectors, or any foreign object?

Any suggestions you can give me would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Ron Green

Ron, what kind of projector do you have ? I would use a patio for outdoor movies! Because the light from the projector will attract bugs! Leon.

You also need a secure outdoor screen that won't be toppled over in a gust of wind!!
