Storm Shell Outdoor TV Hard Cover Weatherproof Protection for Television - Mounts Right on The Wall - TV Wall Mounting Bracket Included … (32-44 inch), Black

Update on 2024-01-18 after 3.25 years of ownership: So wow, I'm super impressed with the durability of this storm shell. Maybe I was a bit hard on it for the initial cost back in 2020 because it has proven itself worthy since then. Through 3 winters and deep in to the 4th with lots of snow and 20F temps, 3 summers with highs over 110F, lots of wind storms, rain storms, enough weather to flood the nearby stream out, and everything else that goes on in other 3 years of outside exposure, the shell has held up perfectly. There's no sign of rust, no sign of fading, and absolutely no sign of any kind of incursion in to the shell from the weather. The TV I mounted in there back in October 2020 still works perfectly, and it would not have survived a month without the shell. Ignore what I said about the price and buy this, you will get your moneys worth out of it by how long it'll last you and how well it'll protect the equipment you put inside. Review on 2020-11-11 after 4 weeks of ownership: I picked up this shell to install a TV outside by my hot tub. I paired it with a 43" Westinghouse Roku 4K, which fits perfectly. 44" might be a squeeze. There is also quite a bit of room behind the TV for some other items such as remotes and other devices like an external Roku, Fire stick, Chromecast, etc. etc. Installation was easy. If you have a solid wall or fence post you'll have no problem, it uses 3 vertically aligned bolts so it can go anywhere you have a single post or stud, no need to worry about width/spacing. Since I wanted to install this against a fence/wall with diagonal slats I first screwed a 2x4 to the slats that reaches from the floor to the top of the fence to carry the load, and then mounted the shell's TV mount on to that. It's not going anywhere even with people pulling on the TV to move it around. I caught it on sale for $239, but I've seen it as high as $349. I would not pay $349 for this shell, $239 is a stretch because at the end of the day, it's just a plastic shell with an integrated TV mount where the mount itself would go for maybe $50. That's why I only rated it 3/5 on value. We've had a few big rain storms since it was installed (there is one right now, which reminded me to write this review) and so far so good, no water intrusion in to the shell. There is a hole in the back, at the bottom and angled facing down which plugs up with a rubber grommet for the cable, so no water gets in there either. I went with the shell vs. getting a weatherproof outdoor TV for two reasons. One, if the TV dies or just gets old and outdated it can be replaced with something better, the shell still works and I can use any TV available. Two, it does a good job of hiding the TV which helps deter potential thieves. There is one big downside though to buying this vs. a weatherproof TV though, and that is you can't use the TV in the rain, the shell only protects when it's closed. I would like to see an option of buying a front cover that is clear/see-through to allow that. Despite the 3/5 for value I still rate this overall 5/5. It sure beats moving a TV outside and back in every time you want to watch a movie in the hot tub.

I wanted something that was easy to open, protected my TV, and had an easy install - this met all those expectations. I had to drill new holes for mounting, but that was easy. The front cover comes off easily and stores on the provided hooks . Add bonus is that the TV mount swings out so that we can watch from different vantage points around the backyard. I previously just had a canvas cover on my outdoor TV and that got eaten up by the Texas sun. This hardshell cover has held up great! Going on 2 years with zero issues or fading.

Works as designed and keeps my TV dry

So far so good. I have not used for snow but rain, and had no inside leakage. Took us about 2 hours to install. Seems very durable. We did have to use different screws to install. I do think it is a little expensive for what you get, but it is cheaper than purchasing an outdoor TV. Hoping that in the long run, this stands up to the weather.

So far, so good. Holds our 40" TV and keeps it out of the weather., It was a little tough to get the extension cord through the bottom hole once it was mounted on the wall, but other than that, no complaints.. Giving it 4 stars due to price. It is a little pricey considering the plastic box costs more than the TV itself.

This product is amazing! Very easy to install. I built a brace out of 3/4 by 4” material, put a piece 3/4 ply wood that was stained and sealed on top of the brace with 1.5” screws. Prior to mounting the ply wood I pre drilled the template of the storm shell so putting everything up was super easy. Add in a $215 roku smart tv and boom you are set! The storm shell just kept the tv, remotes and all wiring dry through hurricane Ian so five stars from me. The only thing that disappoints me about this product is when I purchased the storm shell I paid $193 and change from Amazon prime for the 32-44 inch shell. As I started sharing my awesome find with people the price continued to skyrocket now being listed for $333 for the exact same shell. $193 is a more than fair price for this but it’s worth every penny. We are enjoying football games, movies and Xbox sessions outside now!

This is a great product! Easy to install, if you are handy. Hardest part is locating the studs on the interior wall and accurately transferring the measurements to the exterior wall. I mounted this over vinyl siding. Worked great! The shell secures with four small screws in the corners while the articulating mount secures with four lag bolts through the middle of the shell (slightly off-center but it worked for my application; there is an adapter plate available if you need to center the shell left or right depending on your stud locations). The kit is thoughtful in that it includes short and long lag bolts for the articulating mount for mounting over plywood or sheetrock (short bolts) or over siding (long bolts). This kit fell short only in that the four screws that hold the shell in the corners were only one size and were not long enough in my opinion. They just barely bit into the plywood and so I bought my own longer screws for the corners. Other than that, everything else is great! The TV pictured is a 43" Hisense Roku TV which fits perfectly.
