Try putting mister into the search engine. And because this is Aussiefinchforum not Google you will not get anything kinky.

I am going to hit bunnings up for a small sprinkler system.
Not as precise as your mister but effective non the less

I just used stuff from Bunnings. 1/2" black poly tube with hose joiner to garden hose. Running off that single feed into each flight along the roof is micro tubing and a sprayer at the end of the tube. I used the adjustable half circle sprayers so I could moderate each flight individually. Sprayer is facing up so that water hits underside of roof, this both helps cool the tin roof and disperse the water as mist even more. Whole setup for 5 flights about $25.

misters in the recent heat = water evaporated before it could do any good .
Bunnings irrigation thingies worked better especially when directed onto shade cloth and an open area for birds to shower under .
