Misting Fans Provide Relief From Summer Sun
If you are looking for the perfect way to stay cool and comfortable outdoors this summer, look no further! Misting fans are the perfect solution. I will definitely have one on my patio this summer to keep my family cool as the temperature rises.
Most misting fans have a self-contained water reservoir, making them perfect for any outdoor activity. You can use them at pools, construction sites, camping vacations or picnics, or simply on your porch or patio. The misting fan above can cool approximately 200 square feet for 5 hours with a single fill up of water! It can also lower air temperature up to 30 degrees! That is a huge difference when you are in the sweltering summer heat. This mist is fine and gentle, so you will not become soaking wet or uncomfortable – just cooler. They are perfect for the family who enjoys the sun or an organization who is planning an outdoor event.
Decorative Patio Lamps Are the Safe Choice for Outdoor Spaces
Spending evenings outside on the deck, patio, or screened porch is wonderfully tempting when the weather is pleasant, but proper lighting can be a real problem if you plan to read or do any detail-oriented activities such as needlework or wood working. Seeing clearly what you are doing is important, but bringing an indoor light source outdoors is not a safe idea. Indoor lamps are intended for indoor use, which is why choosing patio lamps for your outdoor spaces is the best choice.
Outdoor patio lamps are made from weather resistant materials, such as heavy-duty resin, powder coated aluminum, or natural-looking PVC wicker, and most come with a weighted base for added stability. The extra weight in the lamp bases comes in handy when you encounter a stiff breeze. Outdoor patio lamps also have weatherproof, grounded cords and plugs. Patio lamps that come with cloth shades are covered in weather resistant fabrics that prevent fading and moisture damage.
The best part about outdoor patio lamps is their appearance — they are just as beautiful and stylish as any indoor lamp. In fact, many homeowners choose to use outdoor patio lamps inside the home as well as outside. No matter where you put a patio lamp, it will safely provide you with the right amount of lighting for whatever project you intend to focus on.
Decorative Outdoor Clocks for Less
If you want to add some flare to your outdoor living space then why not use an outdoor clock. Add an outdoor clock to an exterior wall and mix with iron pieces for an interesting look.
Relax in the Shade
Warm weather is upon us, and it’s only going to get hotter! Spring and Summer are prime times to get outdoors and enjoy your backyard. Sometimes, however, the sweltering sun can be too much to bear. If you aren’t blessed with shade trees covering your porch or patios, relaxation in the shade is still a possibility! Awnings and shade sails can both provide protection from the sun while also looking stylish and cool in your backyard.
For people opting for a semi-permanent or occasional shade for a patio or porch, a retractable awning is perfect choice. The motorized awning attaches to your home and rolls out at the touch of a bottom. Most come with a remote control, which allows you to adjust your awning without ever leaving your seat. While extended, these awnings provide complete protection from sun and rain. When you are in the mood for direct sunlight, they retract in minutes. They provide you with complete control of sun and shade with very little effort.
Shade sails are intended to be a more permanent form of shade protection. They provide a super stylish alternative to a covered porch. Shade sails offer unique versatility because, unlike a retractable awning, the
y can be attached to almost any back yard structure, including your home, trees, or even installed columns. They are removable at the end of every season, but when you see how beautiful they are installed, you will want to leave them visible year round! They come in a variety of materials, offering different degrees of UV protection, and shapes so they can be customized to fit any taste.
Why limit your outdoor activity this summer because of the super hot sun? With a retractable awning or shade sail covering your porch, patio, or backyard area, you will be lounging in comfort all summer long! Sit down, relax, and enjoy the shade.
