Turn Your Veranda Into A Cinema Night
Balmy evenings on the veranda are made for a film under the stars. With a screen, a little lighting and some comfortable seating, any terrace or rooftop can become the most relaxed cinema around, no queues required.
Your own private screening at home
There is no parking to find and no queue at the door. All that is needed is a projector, something to nibble on and a couple of drinks, plus perhaps a friend or two to share the evening with. A low table set between comfortable outdoor seating keeps snacks and drinks within easy reach, while a bench with a built-in canopy gives shade earlier in the evening and shelter from the night air once the sun has gone down. Scatter a few cushions about and the whole corner feels ready for a proper film night.

A screen you can rig up in minutes
A shower curtain hung from a rail, or a plain sheet pinned up, makes a surprisingly effective cinema screen for the garden or veranda. BOTAREN's shower curtain rod is sturdy enough to hold the fabric taut and can be fixed between two walls or posts without much fuss. If the breeze picks up, as it often does on an exposed terrace or rooftop, weigh the bottom edge down or use magnets if the surface allows. It takes only a few minutes to set up and just as little to take down again afterwards.
Soft light for the rest of the evening
Once the credits roll, there is no need to rush indoors. SOLVINDEN's solar-powered pendant lamps cast a warm, gentle glow that suits a balcony or veranda long after the film has finished, and the solar-powered ground stick works just as well tucked among pots or along a railing. Leave them out in the daytime sun so they are fully charged and ready by dusk. It is a simple way to stretch a summer evening a little longer, whether the setting is a balcony in a Sliema flat or a Gozo farmhouse courtyard.
