Weather Resistant TV Installation
Custom AVI installs weather resistant and outdoor-rated TVs in any outdoor environment — pool cabanas, gazebos, pergolas, covered patios, patio walls, and above outdoor fireplaces. We supply and install the TV, mount, all wiring, and streaming source setup.
Pool Cabana & Pool House
A covered pool structure is one of the most popular locations for an outdoor TV installation. Protected from direct rain and overhead sun, cabana TV installations deliver the best picture quality and longest equipment lifespan. Custom AVI handles all wiring concealment within the cabana structure.
Gazebo & Pergola
Gazebos and pergolas provide a natural frame for an outdoor TV setup. We mount outdoor TVs to posts or interior walls and run concealed power and HDMI cables through the structure — clean, professional, and built to last through Canadian winters.
Covered Patio & Under Eave
Covered patios and soffit areas attached to the home are ideal for outdoor TV mounting. Protected from precipitation with access to the home interior for clean cable routing — this is the most common installation type we perform across the GTA.
Patio Wall & Exterior Wall
Exterior patio walls — wood, stone, brick, or concrete — can accommodate a properly mounted outdoor TV with the weather resistant display and mounting hardware. Full sun installations require a high-brightness outdoor-rated TV. Custom AVI advises on the right display for your specific environment.
Above Outdoor Fireplace
Mounting a TV above an outdoor fireplace adds a dramatic focal point to any backyard entertaining space. We use outdoor displays rated for heat proximity and run all power and HDMI cabling through the wall or mantle structure for a completely clean installation.
Custom Built-In AV Wall
For clients building custom outdoor entertainment areas, Custom AVI works with contractors to integrate TVs and speakers directly into built-in patio walls and cabinetry. We coordinate pre-wiring during construction for the cleanest possible result — no exposed conduit, no surface-mounted cabling.
Why a Weather resistant TV Matters
A standard residential TV will fail quickly in an outdoor environment. Outdoor-rated TVs are purpose-built to handle temperature extremes, moisture, insects, UV exposure, and in full-sun models, ambient light levels that would wash out a standard display entirely.
- ✓ High Brightness Displays — full-sun models up to 4,000 nits, visible in direct sunlight
- ✓ Temperature Rated — engineered for Canadian winters and summer heat
- ✓ Weather Sealed — IP-rated enclosures protect against rain, humidity and insects
- ✓ Anti-Theft Mount — locking outdoor mounts available for exposed installations
Outdoor Speaker Types
Landscape Satellite Speakers
The most popular and versatile outdoor speaker option. Landscape satellite speakers can be placed virtually anywhere — in the garden, mounted to a deck post, attached to a fence or tree, or tucked into landscaping. Trending because of their discreet look and flexible placement.
Planter Style Speakers
Designed to look like decorative planters — these speakers blend seamlessly into outdoor spaces. They fill the sound around you while looking like a natural part of your patio or garden decor. They sound as good as they look.
Outdoor On-Wall Speakers
Weather-resistant speakers mounted directly to exterior walls, soffits, or under eaves. A practical choice for covered patios, porches, and outdoor kitchen areas where wall mounting is clean and accessible.
Rock / Boulder Speakers
Moulded to look like natural rocks or boulders — virtually invisible in garden and landscape settings. Ideal for properties with extensive landscaping where aesthetics are a priority and speaker visibility needs to be minimized.
In-Ground Burial Subwoofer
Completely buried in a flower bed or garden — the in-ground subwoofer is entirely invisible from above ground. Delivers deep, room-filling bass to your outdoor space without any visible hardware.
Hardscape Subwoofer
Sits on any hard surface — deck, patio, poolside — and delivers powerful bass without burial. Available in designs that blend with outdoor furniture and hardscape environments.
Add Deep Bass to Your Outdoor Space
Outdoor satellite speakers deliver clear mids and highs but struggle with deep bass reproduction — especially in an open-air environment where low frequencies naturally dissipate. An outdoor subwoofer completes the sound picture.
Buried completely underground — typically in a flower garden or landscaped bed. Completely invisible from above ground level. The most discreet option for properties where aesthetics are paramount.
Designed to sit on any hard outdoor surface — deck boards, concrete, stone patio, or poolside. No burial required. Available in designs that blend naturally with patio furniture and outdoor decor.
Amplifier & Streamer Setup
Outdoor speakers require a dedicated amplifier. Custom AVI installs and configures your amplifier inside your home, with speaker cables run to all outdoor locations. We can also integrate outdoor speakers with your TV for a complete outdoor AV system — one remote or app controls everything.
App-Controlled Audio
Control your outdoor audio from your phone — adjust volume, switch sources, and set schedules without going inside.
Multi-Room Integration
Group your outdoor speakers with any indoor zones — play the same music throughout your home and backyard simultaneously.
All Streaming Services
Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, radio, podcasts — stream anything to your outdoor speakers from one app.
TV & Speaker Integration
Pair your outdoor TV with outdoor speakers — one system, one remote, complete outdoor AV.
Seamless Wiring & Clean Installation
The difference between a DIY outdoor AV setup and a professionally installed system is almost entirely in the wiring. Custom AVI ensures every cable run — power, HDMI, speaker cable, and data — is clean, protected, and invisible.
- ✓ In-Wall & Through-Wall — all cables run through exterior walls, completely hidden on interior and exterior surfaces
- ✓ Underground Cable Runs — cables run underground in conduit for speakers spread across a backyard, buried below grade
- ✓ Outdoor-Rated Cable — UV resistant, waterproof connections at every junction, rated for direct burial and outdoor exposure
If you are building a new home or undertaking a major renovation, pre-wiring for outdoor AV during construction is significantly less expensive and produces a far cleaner result than retrofitting. Contact Custom AVI early to coordinate with your contractor.

Outdoor AV Installation Questions
Common questions about our outdoor TV and speaker installation services in Toronto GTA.
How much does outdoor TV or speaker installation cost in Toronto?
Cost depends on the number and type of products, the length of cable runs, mounting complexity, and amplifier setup. Contact Custom AVI for a consultation and quote specific to your outdoor space.
Do I need a special outdoor TV?
Yes — a standard residential TV will fail outdoors. Outdoor TVs are purpose-built with sealed enclosures, temperature-rated components, and in full-sun models, high-brightness panels up to 4,000 nits. Custom AVI advises on the right display for your specific environment — covered vs. full-sun, hot vs. cold exposure.
Can outdoor TVs and speakers withstand Toronto winters?
Yes — quality outdoor AV equipment is engineered to withstand extreme temperature swings, moisture, UV exposure, and freeze-thaw cycles. Custom AVI only installs outdoor-rated equipment. Some higher-end displays and speakers benefit from being covered during extended periods of non-use in winter — we will advise on best practices during installation.
Do I need a separate amplifier for outdoor speakers?
Yes — passive outdoor speakers require a dedicated amplifier or AV receiver to power them. Custom AVI installs and configures your amplifier indoors and runs speaker cables to all outdoor locations. We can also integrate a Sonos Amp for wireless streaming control, which is our most popular outdoor audio setup.
Can my outdoor TV and speakers work together as one system?
Yes — we integrate your outdoor TV with your outdoor speakers so the TV audio plays through the speakers instead of the TV built-in sound. This dramatically improves outdoor audio quality, especially over longer distances or in open-air environments where built-in TV speakers struggle.
Can I control my outdoor AV from my phone?
Yes — with a Sonos Amp or similar streaming amplifier, you can control your outdoor speakers entirely from your phone. Many outdoor TV setups also support smart home integration. Custom AVI configures everything during installation so you are up and running before we leave.
Do you serve areas outside of Toronto?
Yes — Custom AVI serves the entire Greater Toronto Area including Markham, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Mississauga, Brampton, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Aurora, Newmarket, Woodbridge, and more. Contact us to confirm availability for your location.
