Enjoying a comfortable and cool time outdoors on the patio is a tempting idea. To avoid staying indoors on hot and humid days, you can add some patio umbrellas and some other cool accessories to make your time on the patio even more enjoyable.

 

Patio Umbrellas

The most important thing you need to ward off the summer heat is the patio umbrella.  The reasons are obvious. Patio umbrellas block harmful UV rays from your skin and protect you from radiation that could lead to skin cancer. Also, the shade provided will keep the area under the umbrella notably cooler than surrounding areas. This in turn will keep your core temperature cooler and less at risk of overheating.

 

Misters

You can try out small misting fans to large ones depending on the size and area of your patio. The purpose of misters is to cool off your body temperature by periodically spraying yourself with cool water and allowing the water to evaporate. Misters can either be self-contained units or hook up to an internal water source.

 

Micro beads

The innovation of micro bead clothing has been popular with both people and their pets. This patented technology also operates using the evaporation system of cooling. Small gel-like beads are sewn into a special synthetic fabric that is then fashioned into bandannas, wristbands and dog harnesses. Soak the entire thing in cold water and the micro beads will stay cold much longer than fabric alone. Then, once the fabric begins to dry, you get a second wave of cooling relief from the evaporation.

 

Pools, sprinklers and more

You can choose fun add-ons like baby pools, slips and slides to keep the heat away. Even garden sprinklers are a great way to keep you and your lawn well hydrated.

 

Common Sense

Keep your cool with lots of fluids and wear comfortable, light colored cotton clothing. Top these off with some of these cool accessories and you are all set to beat the summer heat.
