Projectors & Humidity - Help!

[ven33]

Hey everyone!

I'm currently planning out a build for my garage, and I was hoping you all would be able to help answer a few questions for me that I haven't been able to find via search.

To start, I live in Florida. I want to build a sim in one part of the garage, but my concern is the projector. Has anyone left a projector outside, year round, in their garage in Florida? I'm trying to come up with a plan, because I'm concerned that the humidity will kill the projector.

Any thoughts on this would be fantastic.

I don't live in Florida, but I have a 4k projector (not my golf sim projector) in my closed in giant gazebo with a hot tub that has ran year round for a few years perfect now. Even in the winter with below zero temps and hot tub humidity... somehow. In the summer it can get over 100 deg inside the gazebo, and we can get a lot of humidity here in Pa. With the hot tub also it probably would be like Florida humidity. I would say you should be good to go based off of that, but that's just my 2 cents. I have 2 big flat screens in there as well with no issues.
