Ways to Keep Your Outdoor Entertainment Area Cool This Summer
- Install outdoor fans
This is one of the best options to cool your outdoor entertainment area. Keeping the air moving keeps outdoor areas more relaxed and comfortable. Outdoor fans are available for both covered and open outdoor spaces. They are a permanent solution and can also be used to improve the theme of your outdoor entertainment area.
- Keep fire features at a distance
Fireplaces are used to provide a focal point and a welcoming environment for visitors. However, during the summer, it is wise to forgo the fire features. If you need fire to set the mood, wait until the temperatures drop significantly. You should also have seating options where your visitors can sit away from the fire to avoid the heat.
- Shade
If you have a lot of shade from trees or have a covered patio, use it to your benefit. Create an entertainment area in these shady areas to provide cooler, comfortable spots where your guests can gather for more minor conversations.
- Create shade
You might don’t have shade, but you can create some shade. If you have a reasonable budget, you can install a gazebo, add covering to existing patios or install new patios with covers. The covering will provide cooler temperatures that are ideal for your outdoor entertainment spot.
- Portable coolers
There are a few choices available for portable coolers. Still, most outdoor solutions are some form of evaporative cooler that either needs to be plugged into an electrical outlet or has a rechargeable battery.
- Outdoor cooling mister system
Misters provide an enjoyable, cooling mist to an area. They are very affordable. Purchase a mister cooling system and connect it to your hose. It allows for everyone in the room to feel the chill of the outdoor misting.
- Grill away from the area
Move your barbecue equipment away from the entertainment area.
