Are You Ready to Dive in with Poolside Entertainment?
Turn Your Backyard into an Outdoor Entertainment Hub
With the right tech, your poolside space can become the heart of your home’s backyard entertainment. Can you picture it? Music, lighting, and streaming your favorite shows right to the pool. But you can’t do this with just any technology—a poolside entertainment hub requires specialized equipment that is durable enough to withstand a few splashes and bright enough to compete with the sun. After you make these investments, you can host summer parties and soak up the sunshine with the added benefit of entertainment at your fingertips.

Light Up the Night
Add dramatic and functional lighting to your backyard to set the tone and keep your guests safe. We’d recommend low-voltage landscape lights to illuminate walkways, stairways, and water features without much energy. Add extra poolside fun and set the vibe for the event with color-changing LED lights that can be managed with an app or, if your hands are wet from the pool, by voice command.
Experiment with Outdoor Audio
A great poolside party should have amazing background tunes. To accomplish this, you’ll need outdoor speakers that were made to handle weather and produce clear audio that can be heard across open spaces. Where you put your speakers can make a huge difference. Consider mounting them on your house, placing them around your patio, or hiding them in the landscaping if you’d prefer an unobtrusive view. The key here is to choose a system that integrates with your existing home audio or that can be controlled with your phone, a remote, or voice control.
The Secret of Outdoor TV
Want to catch the game while you float in the pool? Then it’s outdoor TV time. Outdoor-rated TVs are designed to resist sun, moisture, and extreme temperatures. They also have the bonus of anti-glare screens, so you get a clear picture even in bright daylight. If you’re considering an outdoor TV in your poolside entertainment mix, come to Hippo’s for expert guidance on the top outdoor brands and models.
