A backyard is nowadays a part of your accommodation. Thus, there is nothing surprising that every homeowner wants to make his/her backyard as functional, and as comfortable as possible. If some generations ago, you would see some vegetables growing there, now, the priorities have changed. The main aim of most homeowners is to create in their backyards a paradise hub where they can enjoy fresh air and comfort.
Some automation ideas will help you to use the space in your backyard optimally and create a place where you can have rest with the utmost comfort and a touch of luxury. Use the ideas suggested here, get inspired, and add your own projects, and you can be sure that your backyard will comply with all your requirements.
A Table Lift to Make the Space Comfortable and Functional
A table is an inseparable part of your backyard. You can have a cup of fresh juice there; you work there with your lap or even have a party with your friends. However, there is one huge drawback: any table that can be used for all these purposes shall be big indeed. Do you have enough space to install a big table?
If not, it is not a problem though, because you can automate it. And with a table lift, you can make it lower or raise. Thus, now, you can use it as:
• A stand for drinks and snacks;
• A normal table for a family party;
• A support for décor items.
Install some actuators in the desk, and make it expand when you need a bigger surface for more visitors.
You can even make it foldable, so you can remove it. It works perfectly when the space is scarce indeed, and you still want to have a table there.
Shall we mention that chairs can be automated in the same way? It might sound odd, but maybe you will want to impress your friends with foldable or height-adjustable chairs or chairs that can be reclined.
A TV Lift for the Most Exigent Homeowners
A TV in the backyard is still a symbol of luxury for many. It is not surprising because a TV cabinet and a lift for outdoors will cost you more than 1,000 USD, and this is without the TV price.
It is possible to make it though. You can order a cabinet or make one if you have tools. Make sure you insulate it to protect from humidity, dust. It shall be robust enough to protect animals and people from breaking in. Yep, if you have an expensive TV set, you might even want to install a lock in the cabinet.
Arranging a TV lift completely on your own is not easy. You need to know how to choose actuators, how to assemble them in a system, and similar. You can buy a ready TV lift. With it, you can be sure that everything is made correctly. Thus, you will prevent mistakes that might be quite costly.
Once everything is ready, you can install it and surprise your friends with a TV lifting and raising with a push of a button.
Important Things to Consider
Whatever project you would like to make, consider the following details. They are crucial if you want your devices to function properly and long.
• All the actuators and actuator systems for your backyard shall be made for outdoor use. They are protected from water splashes and dust. If you live in a place with significant temperature changes, make sure your actuators will be able to resist this factor, too.
• All the lifts shall be able to lift the needed weight. If it is a table, consider that the table lift shall lift not just the desk but also a computer, dishes with drinks and food, and be able to resist if somebody reclines on the desk. If it is a TV lift, then, the TV weight and the weight of the cabinet shall be taken into consideration, and so on. We recommend consulting a representative of the company where you are going to buy the systems because, on this, your safety depends.
• Whatever you are installing, if you use the cables, check whether they have the same ingress protection as the actuators. If not, install the cables in a place for which they are made. For example, if your actuators are weather-protected, but cables are for indoors, install the cables indoors only or replace them.

Or maybe a hammock that can be hidden high up when you need more space? Whatever you want, you can do. Check ideas online, use your imagination, and do not forget about requirements for the systems mentioned above.
