The 10 Best patio heaters

[Terpe]

From Mexican chimineas to outdoor fireplaces, we look at ways of keeping warm and toasty on cool summer evenings....



1. Firefly Tilting Electric Halogen Patio Heater


http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/article8682127.ece/ALTERNATES/w620/101.jpg


If you want to be really sure the heat will reach you, this heater has a tilting head and adjustable height to ensure you stay warm. It isn’t too hard on your carbon footprint, either, and runs at one-third of the cost of using a gas heater.
£164.95, primrose.co.uk



2. Gardeco Four Elements Chimenea


http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/article8682128.ece/ALTERNATES/w620/102.jpg


Bringing a roaring fire outdoors with you is a really cool way to stay warm. This Mexican chiminea is available in designs that match the four elements (air, water, earth and fire), but we like the fire version, pictured here, best of all.
£134.99 patioheater.co.uk



3. Dan Cook Firepit 9000

http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/article8682129.ece/ALTERNATES/w620/103.jpg


Stay warm and toasty with this sleek update of the firepit – then add the cooking grid and you have a barbecue as well. It’s the modern version of roasting around a campfire. A little slice of Danish summer for your garden.
£99.99, patioheater.co.uk



4. Blooma Silene Mosaic Firepit Table

http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/article8682130.ece/ALTERNATES/w620/104.jpg


A side table by day and a firepit by night, this versatile heater has a lid that blends in with the rest of the table and covers the pit nicely when you’re not using it. It also includes a spark cover to prevent any spitting when the fire is lit.

5. Weber Outdoor Fireplace

http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/article8682131.ece/ALTERNATES/w620/105.jpg


A thoughtfully designed fire pit that gives plenty of heat without spitting, because of its inner steel ring, then packs away easily when you remove the ring and lower the lid. It’s rustproof, too, so you can leave it out all year long.
£134.99, patioheater.co.uk



6. Black Living Flame Patio Heater

http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/article8682132.ece/ALTERNATES/w620/106.jpg


The chic pyramid shape makes this heater stand out from the crowd. It looks lovely when lit, with a flame all the way up the inside, packs a powerful 9.5kw and has an impressive head radius of 15-20ft so it should be able to keep everyone toasty even on really cool nights.
£299.99, patiogear.co.uk



7. Cyclops

http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/article8682123.ece/ALTERNATES/w620/107.jpg


Here’s an innovative idea – a table with a built-in heater that’s just the right size for two people. It’s perfect for a small garden, balcony or patio. The table top is cool to the touch and there’s a safety grille over the heated part. i readers can receive a 20 per cent discount off the Cyclops by using the code IND0613.

8. Gardeco Corona Chimenea with Grill

http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/article8682124.ece/ALTERNATES/w620/108.jpg


Another heater-grill hybrid, this chiminea has attached side tables for easy grill-to-plate action. Or if you would rather not grill, the chiminea provides an excellent centrepiece for any patio party. Wood, charcoal or coal can be used as fuel.
£185, stovesareus.co.uk



9. Table Top Halogen Stainless Steel Mesh Patio Heater

http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/article8682125.ece/ALTERNATES/w620/109.jpg


If your outdoor space is limited, you can still get a little extra blast of heat on your patio with this neat table top heater. Powered with propane, its 3,000w is just enough to keep you warm and it has an easy electronic ignition so you can pop it on and off easily.
£99.99, patiogear.co.uk




10. La Hacienda Tabletop Bio-Ethanol Fireplace

http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/article8682126.ece/ALTERNATES/w620/1010.jpg


This stylish bio-ethanol fireplace makes a great feature in any garden. The powder-coated steel finish is complemented by the four glass panels that surround the flame. It comes with a stainless steel fuel burner and extinguishing tool and provides warmth and ambience.

Most will give out quite enough heat to keep everyone happy when it gets a bit chilly.

Those Patio cooler units in your link look rather large and ugly. :biggrin:

I've attended an event in Davao where they had some patio-coolers one time. I though they worked quite well, but they looked quite attractive not like those industrial designs in the link.

Thanks Peter.

So the patio heaters are good from June till August in the UK :biggrin:

Have never seen a patio cooler before. Think i will stick with my handheld fan as dread to think what our electricity bill would be like using these monsters. :cwm25:
