It's a shame to have your [outdoor kitchen](http://www.unlimitedoutdoorkitchen.com/outdoor-kitchens/) and [living room](http://www.unlimitedoutdoorkitchen.com/pergolas/) go to waste, so we want to help you beat the heat! We know that sometimes shade from a tree just doesn't cut it, so before you give up on the great outdoors and lock yourself inside with the air conditioner, here are 3 pieces of cooling technology that will [help you beat the heat](https://info.unlimitedoutdoorkitchen.com/blog/5-ways-to-stay-comfortable-outdoors-this-spring-and-summer) in your outdoor kitchen as you cook, entertain, and enjoy your backyard: ## 1. High-Velocity Outdoor Fans Having a ceiling fan mounted into your pergola to cool your outdoor living room doesn't help much as you're standing over [the grill](http://www.unlimitedoutdoorkitchen.com/grills/). If you want the same gentle breeze and air circulation over [in the hot zone](https://info.unlimitedoutdoorkitchen.com/blog/planning-the-size-of-an-outdoor-kitchen), try an industrial fan. A high-velocity fan spins it's blades at higher speeds than regular fans, meaning you'll experience a refreshing, powerful breeze! Just be sure you choose a model with a built-in ground-fault interrupter; this feature means your new fan will be safe to use outside. ## 2. Evaporative Cooler This device circulates the air like a fan, but there's an added feature you're going to love. Rather than just moving air around, an evaporative cooler sucks in warm air, then passes it through a wet filter which allows it to cool before it is blown out to comfort you with an extra cool breeze! For maximum results, leave 2 feet of clearance around the device so that it has a constant air supply and won't just recirculate already cooled air. ## 3. Misting System If you're looking for the ultimate outdoor refreshment experience, look no further than a high pressure misting system. The delicate, cooling mist comes from perforated tubes that are mounted to your pergola or home and connected to a water supply. The pressure pushes the water through the small holes in the tube creating a fine mist that will rejuvinate you in the summer heat. ### Looking for More Ways to Improve Your Backyard Space?
