Last week I covered a very cool outdoor home cinema but, it did have the minor downside of being part of a multi-million dollar house perched high in the Hollywood Hills that belongs to someone else and who probably won’t be inviting us over any time soon.

However, with the ‘Backyard Drive-In’ portable projection system, the cinema comes to you. All you need is a garden, some decent weather and around £500, and you too can get the big screen thrills outside.

The aluminium frame snaps into position ‘in a few minutes’ and Hey Presto!, it’s time for Halo 3 under the stars or Alien, with real-life wildlife rustling and creeping around the outside just to freak out the squeamish.

The big screen measures 10.5 x 6-feet but there’s also a giant 13.5 x 9-feet model [pictured] for an extra £225 here.-Martin Lynch
