Instant, portable heat
When it comes down to heat outdoors, nothing is as quick and mobile as a gas heater. Instant heat from the push of a button, and no cable restricting your movement.
The main benefits of a gas patio heater are:
Fuel source - Gas is portable anywhere so you can be 'off the grid' - the heater can be placed at the furthest corner of your garden.
Quick - Electric heaters use bulbs that can warm up very fast, and turn off quickly too.
Direct - Electric heaters use infrared light, so it can be directed where you want it, and it doesn't lose much heat to the surrounding air.
There are drawbacks - you'll need to purchase a gas bottle to go with your heater, and monitor the level so that you can replace it when it's low - also the heat is often dissipates into the air before reaching your skin. If you want to consider alternatives, check out our electric heaters.
