Bring your garden to life with weatherproof outdoor speakers allowing you to easily stream your favourite music in your garden.
Whether you’re looking for some background music whilst pottering around your garden or something a bit more substantial for garden parties and BBQ fun, you’ll find suitable outdoor speakers here.
WALL MOUNT OUTDOOR SPEAKERS: These are the most common type of outdoor speaker, they can be mounted to your wall, soffits or on garden building structures such as pergolas etc. Wall mount speakers are high quality, available in sizes from 4” up to 8” and most are available in black or white.
ROCK SPEAKERS: If you want your outdoor speakers to blend into your garden then take a look at rock speakers! They are, as the name suggests, shaped like a large rock and can blend discreetly into garden borders, beds and rockeries. Available in a few different sizes, styles and colours there will be a rock speaker to suit every garden.
OUTDOOR SATELLITE SPEAKERS: Another great option is the smaller outdoor satellite speakers. These are great for use in beds and borders. You can also get wall mounts to affix them to your wall, soffits or garden structures for a more discreet wall mounted speaker. Finally, you can often hang these speakers as pendants which is perfect for pergolas and other garden structures.
When planning an outdoor speaker system we suggest to go for sound coverage rather than outright power. Spreading 4 speakers over an area will be significantly better than using two larger speakers as you’ll get a much more consistent sound quality at an overall lower volume.
Weather Resistance: Outdoor speakers are designed to withstand the elements, featuring weather-resistant enclosures that protect them from rain, sun, and extreme temperatures.
Robust Sound: They deliver powerful & clear audio, ensuring that your music is heard over outdoor ambient noise, making them perfect for parties, barbecues, or simply unwinding in your outdoor oasis.
Various Mounting Options: Outdoor speakers come in a range of styles, including wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, and freestanding models, allowing you to choose the setup that best suits your outdoor space.
Wireless Connectivity: Some models offer wireless connectivity via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, allowing you to stream music directly from your smart devices without the need for additional amplifiers.
Multiple Speaker Zones: Some systems support multi-zone setups, enabling you to control different speakers in different areas of your outdoor space, creating a customised audio environment.
Subwoofer Options: For added bass depth, you can complement your outdoor speaker setup with outdoor subwoofers that deliver rich, low-frequency sound.

Don’t forget that you’ll also need to power your outdoor speakers with a suitable stereo amplifier connected with outdoor speaker cable. You’ll find a few suitable options here, along with a number of ready to go outdoor speaker systems.
If you want some extra bass then consider adding an outdoor subwoofer into the mix!
