How it works

How a Backyard LED Screen Install Works

Three mounting options, three steps, one crew from design to calibration. Here's exactly how a BackYardLEDTV goes from consultation to movie night.

Three ways it goes in.

A direct-view LED wall isn't a TV on a bracket — it's a run of 66-lb aluminum cabinets that lock edge to edge into one seamless surface, with no bezel and no frame around the picture. How that surface is carried is an engineering decision we make with you on site.

A frameless BackYardLEDTV wall standing on two slim black posts beside a backyard pool, in front of an ordinary wood fence, the picture sitting about a foot off a gravel planting bed with no braces and no legs — Two slim posts in the ground. No braces, no legs, nothing behind it — you walk right around the screen.

Ground mount

Slim steel posts dropped straight into concrete footings below grade carry the whole wall — no legs, no angled braces, nothing sticking out behind it. You can walk right around the screen. The picture sits low, about a foot off the deck, the way real installs are set, so it reads from a lounge chair without towering over the yard.

Best for open yards · poolside · no suitable wall

Wall or fence mount

The cabinets hang on levelling rails lagged into structure — masonry, a stud wall, or a fence line we reinforce with a steel backer first. It is the cleanest look and it costs you no floor space, so long as the wall can genuinely take the weight and we can reach the panels to service them.

Best for patios · property-line fences · tight yards

Clad monolith

The same ground frame, wrapped in stacked-stone veneer, stucco, cedar or powder-coated aluminum to match your hardscape — the screen set flush into it like a niche, so the picture and the stone sit in one plane. Cabling, receivers and the processor live inside. Switched off, it reads as a garden wall rather than as equipment — which is usually what a designer wants.

Best for architectural yards · new builds · HOA-sensitive lots

Three steps, start to finish.

You pick the spot. We handle everything else.

Consultation & design

We evaluate your outdoor space, viewing distances, power and smart-home ecosystem — and spec the perfect size and resolution, with a firm quote.

Custom build

Our Northern California team fabricates your heavy-duty, weather-sealed aluminum structure and configures the video processing off-site for perfect alignment.

White-glove installation

We deliver, mount, run the cabling, calibrate the picture and hand you the remote. You don't chase anyone, and you don't manage a subcontractor.

Once you know how the install works, the next question is usually size and price — see our outdoor LED TV sizes and pricing, or read the honest comparison in LED video wall vs. outdoor TV. Every install starts with a free site visit booked from the BackYardLEDTV homepage.

Install questions, answered straight

What people ask before we ever pick up a shovel.

How long does installation take?

A wall or fence mount is typically a single day. A ground mount is two visits about a week apart: one day to dig and pour the concrete footings, then a day to set the structure, hang the panels, run cable and calibrate once the concrete has properly cured. We won't rush a footing — it's carrying a few hundred pounds for the next twenty years.

What's included in the price — and what isn't?

Included: the LED panels, the custom structure and mounting, the video processor, all cabling, full installation, color calibration and the warranty. Not included: new electrical circuits if your yard needs one, any permit or HOA approval your property requires, and your source device — your cable box, Apple TV or console plugs straight in. All of it is priced and written down before you commit to anything.

Do I need special electrical work?

Usually one dedicated 20-amp circuit at the screen. The 142" draws around 1,000 watts in normal viewing but can peak near 3,800 on a full-white image, so it shouldn't share a circuit with your pool equipment or outdoor kitchen. If there's no spare circuit near the spot you want, we price that work into your quote at the site visit — we'd rather tell you on day one than on install day.
