How to Choose the Best TV Mount for Your Outdoor Space

Transforming your outdoor space into an entertainment paradise with a giant outdoor TV from YOLO TV is an investment in unforgettable experiences. But beyond selecting the perfect TV, choosing the right mount is crucial to ensuring optimal viewing, and versatility. YOLO TV offers a range of mounting solutions—ground, pole, and wall mounts—and we also specialize in custom designs tailored to unique needs. Here’s a guide to help you select the best TV mount for your outdoor entertainment oasis.

1. Wall Mount: Sleek and Space-Saving

Wall mounts are ideal for those looking to maximize space and create a sleek, integrated look.

Best for:

Homes with space to add a solid free-standing wall or mounting space to add one to an existing wall. Patio or pool areas where viewers are typically seated directly in front of the TV.

Considerations:

Ensure the wall is strong enough to support the weight of a YOLO TV, which ranges in size from 115 to 317 inches.

Account for ventilation and protection from direct exposure to rain if your TV is mounted on a fully open surface.

Why Choose a Wall Mount? Wall mounts are a popular choice for creating a polished, permanent installation. They work well when your outdoor space has a clear, fixed viewing area.

2. Pole Mount: Versatile and Adjustable

Pole mounts offer versatility. Poles can be installed in various locations, including areas where wall mounting isn't feasible, providing flexibility in placement. Many of our clients prefer pole mounts with rotation bearings, allowing the TV to swivel 360 degrees. Certain pole mounts are designed specifically for open-air entertainment setups giving more floor space depending on your footprint and area to work with.

Custom Projects: YOLO TV has integrated pole mounts with rotational bearings for several clients. One homeowner in Dallas wanted the ability to rotate his TV between the pool and patio. Our custom design allowed the TV to swing out for patio viewing or pivot back toward the pool with ease. Another client, with a soccer field behind his house, rotates his TV from poolside to face the field—all with a simple locking pin and one-handed adjustment.

Why Choose a Pole Mount? The ability to turn your TV to different angles makes pole mounts the ultimate choice for dynamic outdoor entertainment. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or hosting a sports watch party on your backyard court, you can adjust the screen for the perfect view.

Pole Mounts Easily Accommodate Rotation Systems:

360-Degree Rotation for Multi-Sport Viewing: Adding rotation bearings to pole mounts allows clients to turn their TV to face different activity zones. One customer uses this setup to switch between a pickleball court, basketball area, and pool.

Ground mounts are great for expansive outdoor spaces and for those who want to have a certain custom aesthetic.

Best For:

• Open spaces without walls or other structures

• Permanent installations where the TV is positioned lower for comfortable viewing

Considerations:

• Installation: Ground mounts can be as elaborate or simple as you choose.

• Surroundings: Be mindful of landscape features to avoid obstructions that could impact visibility.

Why Choose a Ground Mount?

Ground mounts are ideal for creating a freestanding, cinema-like experience. Paired with our weatherproof, daylight-bright TVs, you’ll enjoy crystal-clear viewing in any lighting condition—morning, noon, or night.

4. Custom Swing Out and Articulating Mounts

Articulating mounts, like the one supporting this 158” TV, offer ultimate flexibility. This project was unique because the building was constructed in the 1900s, and the installation couldn’t be made directly on the brick wall behind the TV. Instead, it had to be engineered and installed through the rooftop floor and the condo ceiling below. The weight of the TV and frame needed to be carefully distributed, and the design of this articulating mount allows it to remain stationary as a wall mount. With just one hand, the TV can then be turned and articulated, making it easy to view from the outdoor kitchen and additional entertaining space.

Swing Out Mount:

This homeowner wanted his TV to face the pool but also have the flexibility to turn and be viewed from his wraparound covered porch. YOLO TV designed a swing-out mount that can be manually rotated and locked into place with a pin, giving the client maximum versatility for his outdoor TV. The mount is secured to the ground with two supporting poles, ensuring stability and durability.
