    How can I make an outdoor cinema

    Any tips for making an outdoor cinema in my garden? What are the key ‘ingredients’ (fixtures) needed to pull this off? Also, what’s the lighting that you’d associated with those American garden outdoor cinemas. You see it on TV sometimes, they’re the sort of lights that exist on wires and criss cross overhead, pretty much? Haha. I hope I’m not too vague! Anyway, looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks!
