I have a customer who's moving to the PHX area very soon and he was asking about me hanging a TV at the rear of the house, under a portico that's over his patio. I may be able to mount it far enough from the outer edge to avoid most blowing rain/dust/sand, but I haven't been there yet, so there's no guarantee about that. He was asking about some kind of marine canvas cover- I was thinking that it could have flaps with Velcro, like a boat cover, to fit around the mount and still prevent the rain/sand from getting in. Obviously, the finest stuff will still get in, but it would keep rain out.
I'm thinking of using an arm with a single bar, rather than two on each side and since it's a lightweight TV (32" Panasonic LCD), that shouldn't be a problem. It would allow me to wrap some kind of foam around the arm to cover the cables and act as a seal for the cover. If it has a draw string, it should cover the gaps.
Thoughts, experiences?

Any reason you haven't considered a Sunbrite or other outdoor TV? Would kind of solve all your issues in one fell swoop.

It's not gonna be cheap, but he trusts me and wants me to do it. Fooled 'em again, says I! I did see that Sunbrite sells covers, but not before I posted this.

He's going to have you travel from WI to AZ to do an install. I know it has to be more than just an outdoor TV... Right?
How about building a cabinet that is air tight when not in use?

I did see that Sunbrite sells covers, but not before I posted this. I always sold a cover with Sunbrite's so it is an option. I believe I recall you could get their standard grey cover or custom options.

Wait ... this is a gag right?
Traveling across the country to custom install a indoor TV outside?

KOT It's definitely more than just the TV- it's several rooms, a couple of systems and making sure it operates without hiccups. Not sure if they'd want a cabinet, but the option of that or TV failure might make a Sunbrite a good way to sell that.

No way a "indoor TV' survives for any length of time in AZ. If your customer trust you convince him to spend the money on the right TV.
