outdoors HT setup with Front Projector - anybody try this

[mbajner]

was thinking of setting something up that can easily be moved into place when needed for this. the electronics would be on some kind of cart with the receiver and dvd player. the FP would be on a table and the screen would hang off my fence. have a manual pull down 64" for the screen. speakers just set on the side of the screen.

so, anybody try something like this already?

The coolest thing I saw was on an older cottage house. The garage was detached and the back end of it was in the backyard. A patio connected the house to the garage and the garage had about a 4 foot eve that hung over the patio. The screen pulled down under the eve and the AV equipment was in a rack inside the garage but faced out via a window that had been removed and replaced with storm shutters. He used outdoor speakers for surround.

Not sure that your configuration would allow this, but I thought it was pretty cool. Something similar could be done using a moderately sized shed.

I only did something 'sorta' like this. Was a lot of fun though and sounded fantastic.
