MarineAV’s waterproof 70″ LCD is the most baller outdoor product we’ve seen so far this summer. The 70-inch high definition wide screen uses a Samsung LCD panel and comes with all the standard features you’d expect in standard LCD TV, including AV, S-Video, component, HDMI, PC (VGA) and a remote control. Resolution on the TV is 1920 x 1080 pixels, with a 1500:1 contrast ratio. Throw it on the deck, on the houseboat, or in the pool. This 70″ waterproof LCD is bound to impress. The cost? Approximately $55,500.

Staying indoors to watch a movie or play video games can feel like a waste of time when it’s warm outside. Ditch your cave this summer and bring the entertainment outside with Frontgate’s Backyard Outdoor Theater System. The 12-foot wide weatherproof movie screen displays larger-than-life images with crisp 720p digital resolution, and an included pair of 80-watt speakers pumps out cinema-style sound. For a total price of $2,999, substantially less than a quality indoor theater setup, the Backyard Outdoor Theater System also includes an Epson MovieMate 72 swiveling projector as well as portable storage bags for the whole system. Twenty-minute setup and breakdown times might just be quick enough to justify taking the movie screen over to a friend’s house for the night for a few games of PS3.

Planning on throwing big budget backyard party this summer? Forget the traditional party tent and instead opt for an inflatable structure from industrial design shop Inflate. Founded back in 1995 by recent Royal College of Art graduate Nick Crosbie, Inflate started making small inflatable table lamps and ashtrays. The company evolved and now makes a wide range of inflatable temporary and permanent architectural structures, including a number that work perfectly for party tents.

If you’ve ever tried to chill a keg, you know what a pain in the ass it can be unless you’ve got a kegorator or a beer dispenser. Generally, you’d have to find a clean, empty trash can and make a run to the store to pick up BAGS of ice. Fortunately, Kegworks has come to the rescue with a new low-budget keg cooling solution, the keg jacket. The keg jacket works like a combination between an ice pack and a beer koozie; you stick an “ice blanket” into the freezer, then drop it into an insulated neoprene sleeve and slip it over the keg. Unlike an ice pack or a beer koozie, however, the keg jacket stays cold for up to 24 hours. And when it gets dirty, you can toss the keg jacket in the washing machine. Half keg, five gallon keg, and individual “growler” (jug) sizes are available, priced at $110, $50, and $29 respectively.
