We’re only a month into summer, and you’re probably already sick of the Kansas heat. You want to spend some more time outside, but there isn’t enough water in the world to keep you cool in what feels like 200 degree weather. Or is there? You may not be able to drink enough water to keep cool, but you sure could swim! As a local business, Energy Center-Manhattan Pool knows what the summer heat is like, and we can help you learn how to create the coolest backyard ever.
Cool Off in the Water
Nothing says summer like going to the pool. The feeling of the water surrounding you just feels so nice in contrast to the summer heat. The only thing that could make it better is if it was in your backyard. We can make that happen with an inground, semi-inground, or above ground pool. Any of these options are perfect to cool off in your backyard. And once you’re done swimming, you can dry off on some patio furniture so you don’t bring the water into the house.
If you’re looking for something smaller than a pool (or maybe in addition to your pool) — believe it or not — you can also cool down in a hot tub. You can get a CoolZone™ System from Hot Spring® Spas and turn your hot tub into a cool tub. The CoolZone System can bring your hot tub water down to 60 degrees. So, you can enjoy both cool and hot water and use your hot tub all year long.
Get Your Grill On
The coolest backyard ever doesn’t stop when you get out of the pool! While your kids play in the water or kick back on the patio furniture, cook up some cool treats on a charcoal grill! With the Big Green Egg®, you can whip up some treats everyone is sure to love.
Tired of hearing your kids ask for pizza every time they get in the pool, when they really need to be eating something healthy? Cook some pizza up for them on your grill, with a twist: use watermelon for your pizza crust. We know it sounds crazy, but people use cauliflower for pizza crust, too, and watermelon is much tastier. When cut into a triangle, the shape makes a perfect pizza slice, and your kids get a serving of fruit. Plus, once they’ve had their healthy meal, you can reward them with making their very own ice cream and cookie sandwiches.
You can use your grill to make some adult treats, too. Cool off after a long week with a margarita or bloody mary, garnished with pineapples or brisket cooked on your grill.
