After splurging on a new patio set and sprucing up your garden with some new plants, you finally have the backyard of your dreams. But now that fall is approaching, it would be a shame to stay indoors once temperatures drop. Invest in a reliable patio heater, and you can enjoy the great outdoors practically year-round.
Whether you're looking for something that'll suit your socially distanced outdoor gatherings, or perhaps a family-friendly option that's mindful of kids and pets, we rounded up the best patio heaters that'll keep your loved ones warm, comfortable, and safe while you spend time together outdoors.
This propane patio heater is powerful enough to keep you warm through hours of munching and typical family mayhem. Because it runs on a 48,000 BTU burner, you can rest-assured this beauty will keep the part going into the wee hours of the morning.
Keep the party going long after the sun goes down with a large patio heater that'll quickly become your favorite entertaining essential. Everyone will want to huddle around its generous 48,000 BTU output that allows for maximum warmth during colder months. But once guests shift from the dining table to after-dinner drinks on the couch, a convenient set of wheels allows for easy mobility.
If you're reluctant to purchase an outdoor heater because of the dangers they may pose to kids and pets, this elevated wall-mounted option is a family-friendly solution that allows you to enjoy a heated patio without the hazards. The hot surface will be safely out of reach of curious little hands, and the unit is free of harmful odors, chemicals, or fumes for total peace of mind.
This propane-powered patio heater is ideal for large spaces that need more heat. Included are a reliable igniter and an automatic shut off valve to prevent overheating.
Unlike stationary standing heaters that leave some guests sweltering and others shivering, this overhead heater can be safely hung above an outdoor table or sitting area to evenly disperse the right amount of warmth. It doesn't take up any valuable floor space, making it particularly great for those with balconies, so you can manage to squeeze in an extra chair or two.
Sure, traditional patio heaters are great for warming up guests on the occasional chilly evening, but for a multi-functional pick, consider this one from Member's Mark. Fire it up to quickly warm up any space and use it as a convenient side table thanks to its adjustable table top that features a handy LED light base, making it the perfect pick for nighttime get-togethers.
While this propane heater is perfectly suited for lounging on the patio, it's personal size and easy portability make it better intended for camping, fishing, or sporting events. Its small size is just right for one or two people, and a convenient carrying handle is ideal for taking with you on any outdoorsy adventure.
