A couple of things: Firstly, those cards running at 70-85C really is fine. They are well within adequate operating range and can run at those temperatures 24/7 for years without any problems. Matter of fact, the fans on your cards will die and give out before the cards will at those temps. Now, all that said, it is obviously in your best interest to lower the temps as they will have better rates the cooler they are and you will see better performance from ancillary hardware as well.
Next, your enclosure set up is wrong. You definitely want air flow through your shed like it were a big PC case. The a/c units are a waste of money. Cooling hot ass hardware like this in a hot ass geographical location needs to come from REMOVING HEAT, not INTRODUCING COLD AIR. It is significantly easier and more efficient to use thermodynamics to your advantage and remove heat from an enclosure than it is to cool it down with cold air. It seems a little counter intuitive, I know, but trust me. All of this I am telling you is from a lot of experience. What I recommend is setting up your airflow from the bottom upward and vent out your hot air through the top of your shed. I have gotten the most efficient cooling with this method (again, utilizing the laws of thermodynamics to work FOR you). Get yourself a couple of [these] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00836E6LM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) (if you dont mind the noise) and mount on the top of your enclosure. Use box fans and whatever else you have that will push air from the inside out the top. Make sure the airflow will go through your cards (I would recommend spacing them out at least 4 inches from one another if at all possible.) With this design in mind, once fully set up, I think you will be pleased with the results. It has worked very well for me in the blistering southern heat!
Alright...
Ol' Florida boy here, so I'm aware of the pain.
First, you need a good offset umbrella. Get the offset, so that the pole isn't in the middle of everything. Deck chairs are up to you. Everyone has their own comfort level for chairs.
I recommend a big ass fan that you can put far away, and that can move air across your whole area. If you're so inclined, a fan mist kit can help a lot too. This may or may not be convenient (or necessary) for you, depending on your setup.
I'm an outdoorsy kinda guy, and I'd rather hang out outside all day than sit inside. As such, I recommend Adidas Climacool Shirts. They make other styles than the golf/polo shirt type, but the fabric is amazing in the heat.
Keeping with the staying outdoors all day theme, I always recommend a good hat to keep you cool. Hats are, of course, a personal preference, but anything with a nice wide brim, and plenty of ventilation is great.
Now, a cooler isn't necessarily required, however, if you're the cooler type, then you can't go wrong with a stainless steel patio cooler. If that's a little outside your budget, maybe go for a plastic one. Those Marine Ultra ones can hold ice for days without a problem.
If you've got the cooler, but you're more of a mini keg kinda guy, you could get a jockey box kit to slap up in a cooler. If you had a decent sized cooler, then you could still keep some sodas or water in there.
Now, I don't know about you, but when I'm chillaxin' out by the bbq, I like to get down with some tunes. You can get some outdoor radio setups for pretty cheap. We always managed to hide speakers under the roof overhang, and this seems geared towards it right out of the box.
Now, I'm not much of a TV guy, but if you're hanging out with the friends and family, especially in the autumn, someone's gonna demand to watch the football game. I have a crappy little 32" TV that I like to pull out and connect to the stereo, so we can put the game(s) on. Get one you like. That was just the first one I found for under $200. The one I've got is an older model from Sharp, and has a matte finish on the screen, so the viewing angle is very wide, and it's pretty easy to see, so long as there's a little shade over it. Also, $200 isn't a critical loss of cash if it gets rained on. Though in the 5 or so years I've been pulling the TV, it has never gotten wet enough to be a problem. (It rains nearly every afternoon during the summer where I'm from in FL).
Those are just some ideas, and not a comprehensive list. I didn't mention anything about mosquito control, as I don't think I've ever heard anyone refer to Texas as "swampy".
Get some dehumidifiers and an industrial fan or 2 and you should be good. We had a heat problem at the beginning of this semester and then we got one of these:
