Making a drive-in or backyard theater is possible as long as you have the space and your local government regulations allow for it. In this video, we build our own drive-in movie theatre for our personal use.
First we build the frame for the screen. By building a screen, instead of purchasing one, we could determine the size we wanted. After the frame was erected, we attached the material used for the screen. Next we chose the equipment needed to run the movie and send sound to the vehicles. As there is no power in that part of the yard, we purchased a generator and created housing for it.

This is truly above and beyond
Thank you. We had a lot of fun with this one.
That is just...WAY COOL!!! I remember family times at the drive-in theater. It was fun. Mom would always fry up some chicken and fix a few easy-to-eat side dishes for a picnic supper. There would be a big bag full of popcorn; a cooler with pop; and some snacks. And us kids would have our pillows and a blanket for the back seat because we wouldn't last long after supper. Brings back some great memories!!
I agree- so much fun. There used to be the sound piece that sat on the drivers side window before they pumped sound through the radio. And the back seat watchers always tried hard to see over the people in the front.
Did you ever wonder just how many of those car speakers were lost when cars forgot about them in the window and drove off without removing them? LOLOLOLOL...
I built one as well! In the woods behind my house in SC. I was great! We even hooked up a x-box and played Grand Theft Auto! I also had two complete sets Drive in Theater Speakers. I hard wired all my equipment in my building and had a table for my Projector. I used a scrap price of Multi Conductor cable ( Phone line ) under ground for the Audio and Video. Also had Side lights as well!
That is awesome!
yup that is how it was in a theater growing up. cool very cool home theatre
Ahh those were the days...
Good job nice sharing my friend success always
Thank you.
What a cute little drive in. My dad owned 3 regular theaters back in the day, The biggest one held 1500 cars, covered MANY acres and had 2 snack bars!
Okay, haven't thought of it... but I am now! Hmmm... now, where to put it🤔
Thanks for sharing!!
Great now I want a corn dog 🤣 looks like you are going to have a lot of fun times
Yes it’s been great ...when it’s not raining lol.
That is a really neat project (makes us want to build one somewhere on the property). The projector sounds good for the outdoor application and really neat that you figured out broadcasting to the car stereo just like a real drive in!
Thanks for checking out our videos.
I miss going to the drive in when I was a kid, what a fun idea thanks for sharing 👍.
This entire project is super cool!
Thanks friend.
Thank you for sharing. I plan to start up one myself this year.
Okay this is so fun! Wonderful share 😁
That’s so cool
We’ve been having so much fun with it this summer. Thanks for your comment
@@HomeNorth I wish I had the land to do it
Love the intro.. have really enjoyed this.. great video
Thanks for watching folks!!
Such a cool build, I have an old projector I was thinking to just run with a screen, maybe I should go bigger... 🤔
Do it do it. Always bigger. What type of projector
The next time you paint the screen, before the paint dries, put some glass beads over the paint. This will make the projected light be much brighter. Will ave able to see the movie ten times better.
Mr Hubbard, your comment intrigues me. Interested in building my own, your idea about glass sounded good but won't it hurt the integrity of the picture. Please respond. I'm novice so whatever you say will be more than I know. Thank you 😊
@@lesliemccauley2003 When then lines on the road are painted, just after the paint goes down, another nozzle sprays glass beads. If you have ever gotten close to a motion picture screen in a theatre, it too is covered with glass beads to make the light reflect back and keep the picture from looking dull.
Paint it silver rather than white. It glows much better.
Planning on building a drive in movie theater business. Thanks for the tips bro
I love everything about this video except your math skills. I'm not quite sure how the forty steps of drawing a plan, buying lumber and materials, staking posts, hammering, screwing, leveling, sawing, hanging board, and painting, can count as "one easy step" 🤨 But this was fun to watch and super informative. 🤣
Nice 👍🏼
You guys work well together.That looks very cool,I will love to build one too.I have to many projects ahead of me.Those projector can get very expensive too,my is old one I had it for 6 year I changed the light bulb twice cost me around 30 dollars.Great video like always.Have good weekend.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Yes there are always too many projects and we better get ourselves refocused on them. Enjoy your weekend as well.
an informative video
literally just stopped at a Drive in outside of Dallas saturday night..it was fun!
Oh it’s great to hear there are still some drive ins to go to. There’s only 1 public drive in out here and it’s 3 hours from me. They really are fun!!
@@HomeNorth Def! took me back to the late 80s/early 90s and my days of living in California instantly!
Hi! New to your channel! Came over from MT Homestead. We used to show movies on the side of our garage. This was awesome!!!!
Thanks new friend. I just stopped by your channel as well.
Hey new friend please check you are still subscribed. UA-cam pulled some of my subscribers last night.
Nice vid! How is it working out? Are you playing movies every week? Do u have clients?
We just built it really to have fun with the family and friends. It was interesting for us to see if we could build this. The first year we were watching quite a bit but the following year had too much rain.
Hey where did you get all of the equipment for the movie? Can you link it in the comments? I am wanting to make my own theatre and I am wondering how much everything is going to cost!!
Really loved your video
could you please tell me the approx cost for all of this
The projector was 600, the paint and screen boards and lumber was about 500 and the generator 900. I already had the shed that housed the projector. That’s all in Canadian dollars. Hope that helps, take care and thanks for watching 😀
How cool! I am considering building something similar. Do you have a rough estimate of how much it cost?
We reused a lot of wood from other projects and of course the prices of things were cheaper when we built this. I think we spent about $3000 including the projector and generator.
How much did it cost to do this?
So your projector doesn't have perfect focus. the same with my projector. Mine is a ben q 3D projector. I got it refurbished for a low price
El cheapo drive inn .5 cents per carload!
