If you wish to extend your patio season, outdoor patio heaters can be used to enjoy your patio or terrace in early spring and late fall as well as during summer. An outdoor patio heater is perfect for people who like to entertain outside. It can make difference between being able to relax and being uncomfortable. Your guests will appreciate being able to enjoy outdoors with you thanks to your patio heater. There are many styles and colors to choose from when buying a patio heater. The most popular style is freestanding patio heater, which provides a heating diameter of about 20 feet. There are many manufacturers who make this type of patio heater, so you have a large variety of models to choose from. When buying a patio heater, check to see that it has safety features like a shut off valve. This will stop flow of gas in case heater is tipped or overturned. Without this safety shut off valve, a patio heater presents a real fire hazard.
