How to Cool Your Outdoor Space
Shade blocks the sun, but it doesn't cool the air. On a 100-degree day, a shaded patio might still be 90+ degrees. That's where active cooling comes in. Combining a shade structure with a cooling system can make your outdoor space comfortable even in the hottest months.
This section covers the main outdoor cooling options: misting systems, fans, and evaporative coolers. For best results, pair these with a pergola, shade sail, or patio cover to address both sun and heat.
