In the summer, the weather turns comfortable, many people will plan or hold social gatherings in the backyard, on a porch, or in the wonderful home garden. Having the event outside gives the party-goers a chance to experience the nice weather, but also allows the party-giver to take care of many more guests than is feasible inside the house.

Despite what may be good weather on average, occasionally unexpected strong spells can end up making the best party plans come to naught. Homeowners have found that the best solution to this is to buy or rent an outdoor misting fan to keep their guests comfortable. The mister and fan combination can lower temperatures up to 10 degrees.

When a droplet of water makes the transition to water vapor, it absorbs just a tiny bit of energy. But if there are many droplets, the energy absorbed becomes quite large. This principle is called evaporative cooling. Sweating does much of the same thing for our bodies. An outdoor misting fan helps by continuously blowing ambient air over mist to cool it down. The mist is generated from an outdoor mister.

The effects of the outdoor misting fan can be amplified with the use of other kinds of garden shading products. Most shade products reduce heat by reflecting all the light away. But the mister actually absorbs energy using evaporative cooling. Together the two work together to really bring down ambient temperature. The following is a discussion of three kinds.

The outdoor misting fan can be combined with an exterior canopy, which is essentially a large-version of a tent. The set-up a consumer usually comes into contact with at a retailer is a large standing metal skeleton draped with a large section of shade material. The fabric for the walls are optional, a decision that depends on whether one wants to cede some privacy for good circulation.

A second shade type that is used often with outdoor misting fans is the awning. Awnings for private residential use have evolved greatly beyond simple fixed-frame and single shade cloth construction. Modern awnings are self-retracting, electrically powered and remote-controlled. The low end awnings are configured with retraction mechanism in a hand-powered configuration, operated by a crank or lateral-arm set-up. Luxury awnings come with motorized retraction.

The outdoor misting fan is also often paired with a pergola, which is a somewhat simple shade made of wood that stands on four or more columns in a rectangular configuration. Instead of supporting shade cloth, it bears wood bars that give partial shade and partial sunlight. Dwarf variants of pergolas also exist known by the name arbors.
