Outdoor speakers transform a garden, patio, or decking area into proper entertainment space. But mounting speakers outside isn't like indoors - you need weatherproof installation, proper cable routing, and positioning that delivers good sound without annoying neighbors. We install outdoor speaker systems properly.
The appeal of outdoor speakers is obvious - music in the garden for BBQs, parties, or just relaxing. The challenge is getting them installed properly so they sound good, withstand weather, and don't look like an afterthought with cables everywhere.
We mount speakers securely, run cables neatly (buried, concealed, or surface-mounted depending on your preference), make weatherproof connections, and position everything for optimal sound coverage.
| System Type | Typical Setup | Cable Run | Time Required | |------------|--------------|-----------|---------------| | Basic pair | 2 speakers on patio wall | Surface-mounted cable | 1 hour | | Garden system | 4 speakers around seating area | Buried cable | 2-3 hours | | Deck installation | Speakers mounted to deck posts | Concealed under decking | 1.5-2 hours | | Multi-zone | Multiple speaker pairs, zones | Complex routing | 3-4 hours |
Common installations include patio speakers (mounted to house wall), garden speakers (on posts or stakes), deck speakers (mounted to railing or posts), and pergola speakers (hung from overhead beams).
We don't supply the speakers themselves (you'll have better choice and prices buying direct), but we'll advise on what works for your space if you haven't purchased yet. We handle everything from budget garden speakers to high-end weatherproof audio systems.

Good to Know
Send photos of where you're thinking of positioning speakers and where the audio source is located. This helps us understand cable routing complexity. If you haven't bought speakers yet, we can advise. Budget outdoor speakers cost £50-100 a pair. Decent quality starts around £150-200. High-end weatherproof speakers cost £300+ a pair. For audio source, most people use: - Bluetooth receiver in a weatherproof box - Cable from indoor amplifier/receiver - Outdoor amplifier with phone connection - Multi-room audio system with outdoor zones We can install simple Bluetooth receivers but complex audio systems might need a specialist audio installer. Buried cables should be marked or mapped so you remember where they are. Nothing worse than digging into a speaker cable two years later. Volume levels matter for neighbor relations. Outdoor sound travels far further than you think. Test volume during the day before cranking it up in the evening. Some speakers need power (active speakers, Bluetooth speakers). If you're running power cables outside, that's getting into electrical installation that requires a qualified electrician. We can run low-voltage speaker cable only. Wireless outdoor speakers exist but they need charging or power cables anyway. Wired speakers are more reliable and better sound quality for permanent installations.
Frequently Asked Questions about Outdoor speaker setup in Sidmouth
How much does outdoor speaker setup cost?
We charge £60 for the first hour, then £50/hour after. A basic pair of outdoor speakers usually takes 1-2 hours depending on cable routing complexity. Multiple speakers or complex installations cost more. We'll quote based on your specific setup.
Can you install any brand of outdoor speakers?
Yes - we install speakers you've already bought, regardless of brand. Whether they're budget garden speakers or high-end outdoor audio, we'll mount and wire them properly. We can also advise on suitable speakers if you haven't purchased yet.
Do outdoor speakers need special wiring?
Yes. Outdoor speaker cable should be weatherproof and rated for burial if running underground. We use appropriate cable and protect connections from moisture. Standard indoor speaker wire deteriorates quickly outside.
Where should outdoor speakers be positioned for best sound?
It depends on your space and how you'll use them. For background music, speakers should be positioned around the seating area. For party volume, mount higher and aim downwards. We'll advise on optimal placement when we assess your garden.
