As summer reaches its peak, everyone is seeking refuge from the relentless heat – whether staying indoors or travelling outdoors.
While air conditioning and a cold drink might be the go-to solutions at home, it’s quite a challenge to stay cool when you’re away from the comforts of home. This is where a caravanning family’s ‘genius hack’ may help – and it’s available at your local Bunnings Warehouse.
The Hyde Five, a family who have been documenting their full-time travels around the country in their caravan, recently shared a game-changing find on social media.
In the video, Lani praised her husband for installing a simple yet effective device that has transformed their caravanning experience during these scorching days–the Holman 7m Misting Kit With SwapLock Fittings.
‘Marry a guy that puts a little misting kit on the awning for you, so when it’s near 40 degrees you’re not too hot,’ she said, adding, ‘Honestly, run, don’t walk to Bunnings. This thing is so good.’
The Holman Misting Kit is designed for ‘super easy installation’ and is perfect for creating a comfortable entertainment area on your patio or your caravan awning during the hot summer months.
It emits a fine mist that is just enough to cool you down without soaking you, providing a refreshing mist that can make all the difference when the heat is nearly unbearable.
You can purchase the misting kit for $29.99 in-store or via delivery. It comes with everything you need to set up the 7-metre misting system, including the SwapLock interchangeable fittings.
The clever hack by The Hyde Five has been met with enthusiasm from the caravanning community, with many echoing the sentiment that it’s a ‘genius’ idea.
But the versatility of this Bunnings find doesn’t stop at caravans. Homeowners are also discovering the benefits of installing the misting system in their patios and alfresco areas.
‘My [husband] did that on our patio. It’s great,’ shared one person on Lani’s video. Another added, ‘Even better when they put it on the back alfresco of your house. How good are husbands like this.’
The reviews on the Bunnings website are just as glowing, with the majority of buyers noting the upgraded model’s effectiveness and the pleasant mist it provides on hot days.
‘This is brilliant! [It’s] plenty long enough and gives a great mist on those hot days. Friends were also off to buy one,’ read one review on the Bunnings website.
‘The old model was not that good as the fittings for the screw-in jets would crack and leak. And once the tube[s] were connected, you couldn’t successfully pull them apart. This newer model solves all those problems with push-in jets and removable connectors. [It’s] so much better and makes this product a very good purchase
However, the product also received a few low ratings from some buyers who reportedly experienced problems with the kit’s nozzles and fittings. So, to help you decide, you can also visit Bunnings’ website for more details about the product.
Whether you’re hitting the road in your caravan or simply looking to enjoy your backyard minus all the sweating, the Holman Misting Kit might just be the solution you need.
