I was so relieved to find these affordable TV cabinet plans. This is just what we need to protect our outdoor TV! I printed out the plans last night and I was so impressed with the level of detail. My husband took the material list to Lowes today and purchased all the lumber. He said he didn’t have to think twice about what he needed which made for an easy shopping experience. With all the diagrams and clear instructions, it looks like it is going to be smooth and stress-free project. I can’t wait to see this come together this weekend…just in time for football season!

I really like the two door design that opens out to the side. I currently hang my TV on a post with a TV mount next to my outdoor kitchen but have to hang it and unhook it and bring it inside the house every time we use it. So glad I won’t be doing that much longer! By having the plans it made discussing the project with my handyman easy. He said that with the plans he can have it built within a day.
Paul Garvison –
Better than I expected- very detailed. Thanks!
Chris Smathers –
I am so proud of the TV cabinet that I built using these plans. I painted the wood white which goes perfect with our pergola.
Kelly Bishop –
I highly recommend these plans. You can tell the design was carefully considered to be as weatherproof as possible. My TV and sound bar fit perfect in the cabinet. It’s a very decorative, well craftsmanship looking piece, not just a ordinary cabinet.
Adam Radcliff –
These plans are detailed and easy to build to. We installed this directly to our fence and did a similar two toned stained like the picture. I actually built two of these cabinets and use one for storage.
Rashni Patel –
With these plans we built our TV cabinet last weekend. It turned out so nice! Even though our TV is under our patio awning I wanted some protection from the moisture during the winter months . I think we are going to get more use out of our TV this winter because I don’t have to hook it up each time we use it. Plans were straight forward and saved me time not having to come up with the design.
Elizabeth Harpo –
Material list & cutting list saved me tons of time. I’ve gotten so many complements on my TV cabinet.
Karen Oliveria –
Downloaded the plans, ordered the lumber and gave the plans to our handyman. He only charged me $300 to build. We hung it from our fence and its covered by my pergola so I didn’t put the recommended shingle roof on.
Jared Schafer –
Simple yet unique craftsmanship looking design. Plans were accurate and I followed them exactly and didn’t have any issues.
Bob Rebello –
These plans were so helpful. I finished my project in one weekend and couldn’t of did it without the plans. The way the boards overlap and there are minimal amounts of exposed seams make me so comfortable with having my TV inside. Thanks for your help!
Matt Henderson –
I highly recommend these building plans. They are well thought out and with the 3-D images, easy to follow. I modified the design slightly by leaving the back off to expose my brick wall I mounted it on.
Micheal Rutners –
I have built at least 10 outdoor TV cabinets for my clients. They have all been the style with the pop up hinge door, which isn’t the greatest for viewing btw. I used these plans for my last client and have major regrets that I didn’t build this style for my previous projects. The instructions were spot on and made my build so smooth.
Justin J. –
Great customer experience! Christina even emailed me a couple pictures of examples of installation methods which were really helpful. It feels so fancy to have a TV in our backyard and we don’t have to worry about our TV getting damaged. We have had our TV cabinet completed for about a year now and haven’t had any water seep into the cabinet and its rained a bunch to test it out.
Brandon Portale –
I searched all over the internet for TV cabinet plans like this and even tried to come up with my own design. I found this website through Pinterest and was able to start my project immediately and not have to worry about the details. My cabinet came together like the instructions and I painted it 49er colors. I am very happy with the outcome!
Mike J. –
Plans look good! Looking forward to building soon.
Jerry Jones –
Once completed this is a very attractive design. The results look like craftsmanship style. You can tell that careful consideration for weather proofing was incorporated. Very pleased and happy with the outcome of our TV cabinet.
Kevin O’Shea –
The material list alone is worth the buy!
Kevin Hill –
I built a simple box TV cabinet 2 years ago and after a year I tore it down because so much condensation often get through and when it would rain water would seep in. I used these plans to build a new one and what a difference. I don’t have to bring my TV inside anymore and after a heavy rainy winter with no issues I am so relieved I found this design. It was easy to build and you can tell the design was well thought out with the angled roof and the overlapping of boards and ultimate waterproofing measures. Highly recommend!
Nick Reynolds –
The plans are way more detailed than I expected for $20, includes material and cut list and directions. I might attempt to build a Gazebo knowing these plans are so great.
Patty Jacobson –
DIYBP customer service is great! I accidently ordered the wrong size and within minutes of emailing asking for the correct size I received it without any extra charge.
Josh Lane –
I built two of these cabinets – one for our TV and one to store our alcohol above our outdoor bar. The design was perfect and easy to follow. My cabinets have been up for almost 2 years and we haven’t had any issues.
Keith –
Super detailed and easy to follow!

This video cabinet sports a really beautiful design with its spacious two drawers and the doors that open to reveal the extra space for your equipment.
Nicholas Cardfolio –
Hi from Colorado! We love our TV cabinet. I stopped by the website to see if there was any new TV cabinet designs because we are thinking about building a similar one to put our liquor in it. I do like the bi-fold design. Highly recommend! Have had ours built for 3 years and no leaks.
Mike from Texas –
Easy to follow. I’ve had my TV cabinet done for 3 years and have no regrets.
Ron from Texas –
I just downloaded the plans and I am shocked that it is so detailed for this price. Ready to start my project now!
Karen from Oregon –
I really like how detailed your plans are. Do you have any other TV cabinet designs?

Just what I was looking for. I searched all over the internet for something like this and for the money, you can’t beat it.

We installed one in our last house and came back for the plans again to build the same design in our new house. Great plans!
Jeff Rogers –
Plans are great! You don’t realize it but there is a lot to consider. Glad I didn’t have to do the research and that I found these plans.
Steve Laddaga –
Great Plans, although we have a new 55″ TV, I built the enclosure per the plan so we can upgrade to a large size TV in the future. It’s not light but is sure built to last and protects the TV from the elements. Very pleased with the finished product and we are getting many compliments from our guest.
