Outdoor Propane Heater

Keeping your outdoor space warm with a outdoor propane heater.

If you are wanting to extend your outdoor enjoyment a little farther into the Fall or have cabin fever in the Spring, then a outdoor propane heater is just what you need.

There are two grades of outdoor heaters available, you have the residential and the commercial grade. Propane heaters are free standing with a height ranging from 81 to 95 inches tall.

Outdoor propane heaters put out heat in a 360 degree range and will raise the outdoor temperature about 10 to 20 degrees within a 18 to 20 foot area, maybe less on breezy days. Most residential heaters produce 40,000 BTUs, while commercial heaters have a BTU rating of 45,000.

What to keep in mind when shopping for a outdoor heater.

If you plan on moving your heater around, make sure it comes with wheels.
Style and Finish: Try to select a heater compliments your backyard space. Available Finishes: Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Copper Platted, Copper, Cast Aluminum, Antique Copper and Bronze.
If you use your outdoor space frequently in the cooler months you might want to consider a outdoor gas heater that can be made permanent.
Some heaters are Certified by the American Gas Association and/or the Canadian Gas Association.
