Propane Heater Choices For Your Patio

By: Don Tedson

Your home's patio should be an outdoor refuge where you and your friends can escape the rat race and leave your troubles far behind. Ideally, it ought to be a warm and welcoming sanctuary where you can relax without a care in the world.

Some studies have shown that the majority of the population actually prefers eating outside rather than inside. Enjoying meals outdoors where the air is fresh and the view is better appears to be more pleasurable than dining inside.

One ever-present potential problem though is the weather, which can make trying to eat outdoors down right miserable. However there are some actions you can take to ameliorate this problem. There are solutions available to counter those chilly evenings that follow what began as a warm sunny day.

A propane outdoor heater can lengthen the number of hours during which you and your visitors can take pleasure in the outdoors. This applies to staying out both later in the evening as well as enjoying your patio later in the year. When you begin shopping for an outdoor propane heater you will discover that there are a variety of styles available and you will want to consider the following to help you make the best choice for your situation.

First you need to consider the type of heater you want. A permanent stationary propane heater with an underground gas line would be perfect if you live someplace that is almost always cold, like high up in the mountains or a very northern area.

Another, and much more practical option would be to use a portable propane patio heater. They are much easier to use than installing something permanent, and would likely be the best choice. In addition to being convenient, portable patio heaters are also fairly inexpensive.

Secondly, you need to calculate how much heat will be required to warm the area you want to keep comfortable. Most outdoor propane heaters list their heating area by specifying the heating radius, as a number of feet, from the heater because they spread their warmth in a circle.

You will want to pick a central spot in the space you want to heat and then measure the number of feet from that spot to the edge of the area you want to keep warm to determine the heating radius you need.

Third, you should consider what style of patio heater would work best for you. Do you want something that stands out and draws attention to itself with its own unique look or would you prefer something unobtrusive that almost blends in with your other furnishings?

Modern propane patio heaters are available in a myriad of shapes and colors. You can choose from bright-colored modern designs, stylish mute-toned heaters and even some that can be disguised and hard to spot.

Today's outdoor propane patio heaters are extremely safe and should perform well for many years without any worry. Following the guidelines and observing the cautions that are included with the unit are all that is necessary. Nearly all recently manufactured patio heaters are equipped with mechanical turn-off thermostats to shut down the heater once a certain temperature has been reached. The unit then automatically restarts when the space has cooled down again.

Here are a few of the outdoor propane heater design styles that you will want to take into consideration:

Freestanding outdoor heaters - wherever you need heat the most you can place one of these portable units. These heaters are capable of warming areas with a radius of up to 20-feet.

Tabletop patio heaters - these small units are placed directly on your patio table to keep everyone sitting at the table nice and warm. They are very convenient and can easily be transported to different areas with no trouble at all.

Hanging or wall mounted patio heaters - these small but efficient propane heaters can be attached to an exterior wall or can hang from an overhead rafter or ceiling beam with their heat being projected down.

In-ground outdoor propane heaters - these are the in-ground permanently installed units that require an underground gas line. Their greatest benefit though is that they eliminate the need for refillable propane tanks.
