Wouldn't it just jizz water everywhere and make a mess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I went with a new patio with insulated paneling you can get light panels in them to keep some natural light, but still greatly reduce the heat that currently gets generated. God damnit...there's like $15-20k I didn't want to spend...😑 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjc Donating Members 2,823 Member For: 21y 2m 6d Gender: Male Location: Townsville Posted 30/03/19 12:48 AM Share Posted 30/03/19 12:48 AM For us in the North the hose is the best fix for a hot veranda. Typically a spray head, sprinkler or cheap 10mt hose sprinkler to save water. Just turn it on when you go outside on the hot days to stop that radiating heat and you'll thank me.....You could also pay for the reflective, sealing paint that some company's do but cost there I'm not sure of? It is magic though after buying my house with it applied to 20yr old tin. I could walk on the roof in summer without shoes (need sunnies or blinded!) and radiating heat from the back was cut down heaps (EG: Winter, 24°C ambient temp, zero cloud, painted gal tin roofing 25°C and unpainted 40°C). This was in an open shed I have off the side of my house. The difference in temp of colourbond I could measure also as I have trimdek sheets left but I'd go with the hose for now and a decent pedestal fan so you aren't blowing hot air around.
