Patio and Deck Heaters

For A Comfortable Deck Or Patio Year Round

I just love these patio and deck heaters. What better way could there be to make your patio or deck more enjoyable year round.

Choose from propane or electric, but start enjoying your pool area a lot more with one of these handy, portable heaters.

Prolong the summer experience with this electric patio heater.  This outdoor heater allows you to enjoy your deck or patio much later into the fall and earlier in the spring.  The deck heater is completely electric and plugs into a standard outlet, so there are no costly propane tanks to refill, and you'll consume minimal energy.  The 1200 watt electric tabletop patio heater is the perfect outdoor heat source for your deck patio, tailgate party or campsite.  It easily warms up to a 12 foot circle.


 

When considering a deck heater take into account the size of your deck, how much wind will it get, is it for people heating or space heating and your fuel and power options and budget.

One of your options will be an electric infrared heater. A good choice for targeted warmth, covered patios with small to medium seating areas. They will heat people directly, work better than gas in windy conditions, are quiet and low maintenance. They do require an electric outlet and are not great for larger areas unless you use more than one.

Propane heaters are a common option, better for larger areas. They are portable, easy to set up with no wiring involved. There is, however, the ongoing fuel cost.

Natural gas heaters are a more permanent solution and could work well for larger patios. They are less expensive to operate than propane but more expensive upfront, and you would need a gas line.

While not recommended for wood decks of course, but patios near the pool area might do well with a simple fire pit. These create great ambience and are available in wood, propane and natural gas.

The smaller table top heaters work well for small dining setups in milder climates.

Some of the factors to consider when planning a deck heater are:

  1. Patio/deck size
    - Approx. dimensions or square footage
  2. Covered or uncovered
    - Fully covered, partially covered, pergola, or open sky
  3. Wind exposure
    - Sheltered, somewhat windy, or very windy
  4. Surface/material
    - Wood deck, composite deck, concrete, pavers, tile, etc.
  5. Budget
    - Rough range for heater + installation

Enjoy your heated deck or patio and be sure to take all the necessary safety precautions.
