If you want to bring your home entertainment outside, it is best to install an outdoor TV enclosure.

When looking for materials to cover your patio table and chairs, it is best to look for something that is water resistant. Water resistant materials repel water. Their fabrics are woven so tightly together that water from rainfall cannot pass through them. Waterproof materials are best for things that may need to be submerged in the water. The problem is that waterproof materials are so tight that breath-ability and comfort may be sacrificed.
