Sonos outdoor as surrounds

Question

I have a Sonos amp and Sonance outdoor speakers mounted on my house used mostly to stream music for listening on my deck. During the summer we do outdoor movies in the backyard. I planned to use an arc (recently upgraded to ultra so have the old one around) for the sound and would like use the Sonance speakers as surrounds. Is there an easy way to do this or do I have to modify my Sonos settings for my outdoor “room” in the app every time?

You would just have to add the Amp as surrounds to the Arc in the Sonos app:

When you are done, remove the Amp as surrounds in the app.

Thank you for that link. If I understand correctly, I would leave the amp set up as a separate room (deck) and add the arc as a new room (backyard). When I intend to use the arc I add the deck amp as surrounds. When I’m done and remove deck amp as surrounds, deck amp should be available on a standalone basis again?

Yes, this is all correct.
