It’s gas patio heater heaven! You’ll love these

In spring a gas patio heater delivers the extra comfort you want as you relax outside. On warm summer evenings it’s nice to have a heat source along with flames for people to gather around, adding so much to the ambience. As autumn closes in you’ll want something cosy to huddle up to, especially when the evenings start to close in and the clocks go back. And in winter it’s the perfect accompaniment to festive alfresco fun, taking you late into the wee small hours in comfort.

We have a large collection of gorgeous gas patio heating models for you to browse. Here’s some inspiration to help you make the best decision.

Some models throw out the ideal amount of heat to keep late summer parties going, like the one above outputting 7.5 kW. When year-round revelling is the name of the game you’ll want something with more oomph, a 12.5 kW or even 15kW model to chuck out loads of warmth into the cold air. The same goes if there are usually loads of you. You’ll need a bigger heater for all those extra bodies, whereas a couple of you might be fine with something less powerful. But of course it’s entirely up to you.

Looks matter as well. The slim shiny model above is an absolute whopper, created to an extraordinary design that’s more like a sculpture than a regular patio heater. It performs beautifully as well as looking amazing, and just happens to work really well in a setting with grey rattan garden furniture, which complements the lattice on the lamp really well. This model also comes in black, another dramatic choice.

Other models are short, stubby and friendly-looking, like the ones above, making then particularly good to stand around garden seating at seat-level instead of above your heads and handy for marking out the boundaries of your entertainment space. Their sleek simplicity makes them a subtle yet stylish choice for smaller areas. These ones come in dark grey as well, just as smart.

A classic design like the Callow above always works well whatever type of garden you have, from flower-filled traditional cottage gardens to contemporary outdoor spaces of every size.

When you want something as rugged and impressive as the extra-chunky patio heaters found in a hotel or restaurant garden, the commercial model above delivers excellence in every way. It even has an integral bar table for snacks and drinks, creating a little oasis for several people to gather, chat, laugh and party, lit by the flickering flames.

The Santorini, above, goes like hot cakes, always a popular buy. The steely dark grey finish is sophistication itself, a good-looking gadget that’s also built like a tank. It’s cool the way you can see the flame flaring safely inside the tube.

When traditional designs are what you love best, this attractive heater delivers cool good looks as well as a Racing Green finish to complement the greenery of your garden.

So which is your favourite design out of these heavenly choices? Happy shopping, alfresco people!
