Outdoor Heaters
Everyone loves being outside: whether you use your space for grilling up complete lunches and dinners or you prefer to host friends and family on the outdoor furniture. When temperatures drop, you shouldn't have to go running away from otherwise sunny days. However you use your backyard, make the most of it with outdoor heaters from Abt. These warmers are designed to keep your space at just the right temperature.
Do I Need A Patio Heater?
That depends on a few factors. First, consider how often you spend time outside in optimal weather conditions. When the sky is blue and it's a nice, warm day, can you be found out here? If the answer is yes, you should have one of these. Place it in the space where you love to spend the most time: if you have an all-weather sofa set up across from an outdoor television, that's the place you'll want to warm. Maybe you need a little extra warmth near your backyard kitchen. Consider where you spend the most time in summer—that's where you'll need a patio heater for cool weather.
What Are The Different Types of Outdoor Heaters?
Not all patio heaters are the same. In fact, you've got a lot of choices when it comes to these fiery models. The main choice you'll want to make is between a hanging model and a standing one. You may have seen standing versions on the patios and porches of restaurants in cooler weather, but they work perfectly for residential spaces as well. One of their best features is just how mobile they are: many are relatively easy to move, even though they are tall. At the base, you'll often find a set of wheels that makes moving outdoor heaters from one side of the backyard to the other easy. Bottom compartments usually hide storage for a liquid propane tank, too.
Hanging outdoor heaters are popular too—what they lose in mobility they make up for in truly seamless design. These models are often designed to be hung from a ceiling or placed on a wall. That makes them ideal for smaller spaces, like sitting areas on a deck or porch. These are likely to be powered by electricity, though some use liquid propane or natural gas as a fuel source. Finally, there are tabletop models, which look like miniature versions of standing models, and function much the same. These are perfect for staying warm around a small table, or use on a balcony.
