Outdoor & Patio TV Mounting Guide for DFW Homes (2025 Edition)
By Majid – Owner & Lead Installer at DFWTVMount
Outdoor and patio TV setups have become extremely popular in Dallas–Fort Worth. With so many beautiful backyards, covered patios, pools, and outdoor kitchens in Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Allen, Prosper, and the surrounding cities, homeowners want a clean, safe, and weather-ready entertainment space.
But mounting a TV outdoors is very different from mounting one inside. The heat, humidity, sun exposure, wind, insects, and wiring challenges can damage your TV or create serious safety issues if the installation isn’t done correctly.
This guide explains everything DFW homeowners should know before installing a TV outside, including real pricing, safety rules, recommended brackets, and the most common mistakes to avoid.
Is It Safe to Mount a TV Outdoors in DFW?
Yes — but only if it’s installed properly and with the right equipment. Texas weather changes fast. We deal with scorching heat, heavy rain, strong wind, cold snaps, and a lot of humidity. These conditions can destroy an indoor TV in a matter of weeks if it’s not protected.
Key Checks We Perform
- Location safety: Is the patio covered? How much sun hits the wall?
- Weather resistance: Is the TV outdoor-rated or protected by an enclosure?
- Structural strength: Brick, stone, siding, stucco, or concrete?
A correct location and proper mounting hardware are essential for safety and longevity.
Outdoor TV Mounting Prices in the Dallas Area
Outdoor TV mounting typically costs more than indoor installations because of weatherproofing and drilling into harder surfaces like brick or stone.
- Standard Outdoor Wall Mounting (Brick/Stone): $129–$229
- Outdoor Full-Motion Weatherproof Mount: $40–$120 extra
- TV Enclosure Installation: $99–$189
- Weatherproof Cable Management: $49–$89
Projects in Frisco, McKinney, and Prosper often involve stone or textured surfaces, which take longer and require special anchors.
Choosing the Right Location for Your Outdoor TV
What Matters Most
- Shade: Direct sunlight causes glare and overheating.
- Coverage: Covered patios are ideal.
- Viewing angle: Match seating and outdoor kitchen layout.
- Wind exposure: Prevents shaking or loosening.
- Electrical access: Must use outdoor-rated outlets.
A great location protects your investment and ensures the TV lasts for years.
Indoor TVs Outside vs. Weatherproof TVs: What’s Better?
Indoor TV + Enclosure
Pros: Lower cost, easy to replace, protected from rain
Cons: Can look bulky
True Outdoor TVs (SunBrite, Samsung Terrace)
Pros: Built for sun, heat, humidity, and cold
Cons: Higher price
We help homeowners choose based on exposure, shade, and budget.
Full-Motion vs. Fixed Outdoor Mounts
Best Places for Full-Motion Mounts
- Covered patios
- Outdoor kitchens
- Poolside seating areas
They improve viewing angles and reduce glare. The mount must be weatherproof to prevent rust.
Cable Management for Outdoor TVs (Very Important)
Common Methods We Use
- Outdoor-rated conduit
- UV-resistant cable covers
- Waterproof boxes for connections
- In-wall routing where possible
Exposed cables attract insects and moisture and are unsafe.
Real Example: Outdoor TV Installation in Plano
A homeowner in Kings Ridge (Plano) asked us to mount a 65-inch TV on a stone patio wall. They tried drilling into the stone themselves but couldn’t get through.
We installed a full-motion weatherproof mount, routed all wiring inside outdoor-rated conduit, and placed the TV in a shaded area. The final setup transformed their outdoor space.
Common Outdoor TV Mounting Mistakes
- Using an indoor TV without protection
- Wrong drill bits for stone
- Indoor cables or outlets outside
- Mounting in direct sunlight
- Ignoring wind exposure
- Non-weatherproof mounts that rust
- Leaving extension cords across the patio
These mistakes lead to damaged TVs, electrical hazards, and unsafe installations.
Is Professional Outdoor TV Mounting Worth It?
In Dallas weather, absolutely. Outdoor installations require:
- Strong anchors for stone or brick
- Weatherproofing
- Electrical safety knowledge
- Correct placement for shade
- Proper cable protection
- Heat and moisture considerations
A professional installation ensures long-term safety and performance.
