I am looking to add Sonos to my outdoor patio. It will be 24’ x 26’. I want to add 2 TV’s and have Sonos run the sound. What products do you recommend?

Sonos soundbars are not weather resistant, so you would need to assess whether you would want them exposed. The best way of achieving what you wish to do is a Sonos Amp wired to the HDMI-ARC port on the TV powering wired outdoor rated speakers. The Amp would need to be indoors with the wires routed to it, or in a ventilated weather enclosure with a fan, like one of these:

17x13x6" SONOS AMP Outdoor Enclosure with Cooling Fan & 120V Power

There are cheaper models on Amazon, but they aren’t specifically made for a Sonos Amp:

Outdoor Electrical Box with Thermostat and Fan, ABS Water Resistant Enclosure with Internal Mounting Panel & Hinged Cover

After that, surrounds (if you want them) could be Sonos Era 100’s (which are humidity resistant, but I would mount them up inside the roof for best protection from the elements) or another Sonos Amp w/ outdoor speakers.
