"After putting a pool in our backyard my wife and I began to look for ways to have a television mounted in the area. We went from a stand-alone enclosure with a roof to building something that would extend from the wall and provide a cover to a rolling cart that could be moved and covered. We finally decided to look at television enclosures and ended up comparing four or five different ones. The TV Fortress came out on top in practically every criteria we looked at including price, online information, and aesthetics. Alan was extremely helpful to talk to on the couple of times I called with questions.
My primary concern was getting it mounted since I am not the most "handy" person! However, I purchased a mount, was able to attach it to my brick wall, and within 15 minutes of that a friend of mine and I had the Fortress and the television mounted securely to the wall. I honestly couldn't believe how easy it was to do this. The top of our Fortress is about 6.5 feet above ground level and my friend and I are both about 6'2" and it was not a problem.
So far we have had a few rains including a pretty heavy 7 inches in about 5 hours and the Fortress has worked great!! It is obviously very well made and is very substantial.. The gas shocks on the front cover makes it very easy to open and close. Furthermore, the lack of any "transparent" cover on the front means there is nothing to obscure the view of the television.
At this point I could not more highly recommend the TV Fortress if you are looking for a way to secure a television in a place that is uncovered or partially covered."
Hope that helps! Let me know if you need anything additional.
Thanks!

“It was a pleasure working with Alan at TV Coverstore. From the initial call to the follow-up, Alan was very knowledgeable and helpful with the purchasing process. The product is great. It withstands the monsoon season and the intense heat of Arizona and my 65” TV is well protected from all the elements. The space for the soundbar is a game changer, allowing for a controlled entertainment experience. I highly recommend this product.”
Thank you,

"I purchased the Large TV Fortress in September 2021 for my 65” TV for my deck and hot tub. After looking to build one myself, I shopped around looking for the very best overall functionality. By far, the TV Fortress was leaps and bounds above every other product out there. Initially I had an issue with the struts and thanks to Alan and his team for quickly remedying the problem. It works great in any weather and I would highly recommend this for your outdoor TV."

I needed to replace my SunBrite TV after it broke and needed a $650 repair. I decided that I was going to replace it with a "Standard" TV instead of repairing the SunBrite after only 4 years. I looked at all the outdoor enclosures I could find and decided that I liked the features of the TV Fortress better than the competitors. I especially liked that I wouldn't have to watch my TV thru a piece of Plexiglas. I have seen them in action and the additional glare from the plexiglas is a problem. I'm not worried about cold or heat as I am not going to be outside watching TV in freezing weather and the TV Fortress will be open when I watch it in the summer so it won't get too hot. I asked Alan about the heat and cold issues before I purchased and the reminded me that TV's are shipped in all types of weather and as long as I used the TV between suggested operating temperatures I should be OK, my Sony was -4 to 114. My order arrived by truck line in less than 10 days from when I ordered it and I bought the Mount and door locks as options. It really was easy for me and a friend to install, it took less than an hour start to finish. I can't say enough good things about the whole experience. I really am enjoying the TV Fortress and so far it has stayed completely dry and having room for my Sonos sound bar is the icing on the cake. Good job all the way around from TV Fortress, I will recommend it to my friends that have outdoor setups.

TV Fortress and the owner Alan are AMAZING! We purchased a TV Fortress for our patio in Green Bay, WI and it has been the perfect storage for our television and sound bar for year-round protection and easy access for use - even in the extreme winter months! Alan has top notch customer service. He assisted in quickly sending out a second unit to us free of charge when the first unit arrived damaged from the transportation company. We love the look and functionality of the product and would recommend it to anyone in any climate.
Thank you TV Fortress and Alan!

I honestly couldn't believe how easy it was to do this. On TV Fortress’s website they say “10 minutes 2 People Done” I didn’t think that it would be possible, but it really was true.

I’m so happy with my Large TV Fortress, I think my sister is going to order one too. I can’t give you any better review than a referral to a family member.
Thanks Again,

We are loving it. My only suggestion would be to provide cable access into the box from a location near the top of the backside along with one near the bottom. Every application will be different, however in my case access near the top would have been more convenient. (Noted and working on that feature for future products)

Alan and his team at TV Cover Store have provided a great new product (TV Fortress) for us to be able to help out our clients that have outdoor TVs! We used to have to have conversations with clients about either spending multiple thousands of dollars on a true outdoor TV or tell them they could get a cheaper TV that would have to be replaced every so often. Now we can provide a reliable option that our clients are already falling in love with!
These TV cases are easy to install, provide incredible protection from the elements, look great, and are cost effective! We can’t wait to continue to use these TV cases on future installations. Bravo, Alan!

I recently installed my new TV Fortress and I am in heaven!! It houses a 65 tv. It is completely heat, and rain proof. I was able to use a standard indoor tv which saved me thousands! It also acts as a partial sun block during the day. It fits the tv with plenty of room for a sound bar. It was easy to install but you do need a little muscle to help.
We loved our old tv cover but have found with the ease of opening and closing we use the tv much more often. I am so happy with this product I am telling everyone I know!
