With the credit crunch ever pub manager and owner has been wondering how to stay in business, with almost 5 pubs per day closing due to lack of customers. Now some ingenious people are looking to put outdoor TV systems in the smoking areas outdoors.
This way, they should keep customers longer and are likely to spend more and even buy food if they can watch TV whilst smoking, this was many a gripe 2 years ago when families went to gastro-pubs and people were smoking whilst you ate your meal. With the introduction of the smoking ban, smokers now have to go outdoors to a pre-defined area to smoke.
Outdoor smoking areas.
These outdoor smoking areas are very well set up, some even include heaters, benches and all they are missing is an outdoor TV system, and landlords who are ignoring this opportunity due to costs are doing themselves an injustice. The landlords who invest in this are by putting a standard TV into an outdoor TV cabinet and then customers who enjoy a cigarette whilst drinking a pint can watch their favourite team play football outdoors in the smoking area.

A commercial weatherproof LCD enclosure is a product that can be used in either un-manned areas or areas that are prone to heavy rain, as these offer protection form the rain, snow and sleet.
These units will accommodate the display and a small factor PC or thin client; these are predominantly used in the digital signage industry. They also offer protection from theft and vandalism, due to the robust construction and anti vandal viewing window
A domestic unit is manufactured from the same material however it does not have the facility to accommodate a small computer, as a home will more than likely be using the enclosure so they can watch the TV outdoors.

LCD Enclosure Global have just completed a US restaurant chain deployment for outdoor menu displays, the chain wanted to entice potential customers into their restaurant with high quality images of the menu, the dispalys were Sony commercial panels, 42″ in size and located on external walls.
The LCD enclosure had to have both a cooling and heating element in it, as the temperature dropped from 120 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer to -10 in the winter. They supplied a fan with an integral self regulating heater that was connected to a thermostat, so the internal temperature was set for the inside of the enclosure and no matter what the external weather it reamined constant.
For example if the temperature increased, the cooling fan would cut in and if the temperature dropped the heater would start to do it’s job, this provided the ultimate solution for year round protection.
