Unicol has supplied its new Outdoor ‘H’ Frame to the UK’s leading pub retailer and brewer, delivered via AV integrator Chantry Digital.
The freestanding stainless-steel structure was developed to meet a growing demand from the hospitality sector for weatherproof outdoor screen installations, and a successful pilot install of a 98-in display at one of the operator’s pubs has now paved the way for a UK-wide rollout.
Chantry Digital identified a need for screens of 86-in and 98-in that were vandal-proof, IP67-rated, high brightness and anti-glare, that could be permanently installed in beer gardens and outdoor areas, reaching the largest possible audience. Finding the right screen solution began in late summer 2025, and it quickly became clear that the mounting infrastructure would need to match the ambition of the brief.
Unicol’s Outdoor H Frame is capable of supporting screens ranging from 65-in to 98-in in size. Manufactured in stainless steel for long life and corrosion resistance in all weathers, it stands approximately 2.5 metres high for optimal viewing, with legs that can be cut to length to suit specific sites and bolt-down feet that provide strength and stability.
In this instance, the outdoor displays are built to IP67 specification for continuous outdoor use, with 3,000 cd/m² brightness for direct sunlight visibility and an anti-glare display with hard coating (3H). Designed for 24/7 continuous operation, they feature heavy-duty steel construction in AISI 304 (EN 1.4301) and are prepared for mini-PC installation with 230V power, RJ45, audio out and VESA 75-200 mounting. Each screen carries an IP67 waterproof rating, with IP65 on the rear outdoor enclosure, along with an IK10 vandal-resistant rating.
