Choosing the Right Outdoor Heating for Your Space

Outdoor heating helps extend the usability of patios, decks and alfresco areas throughout the cooler seasons. When selecting a heater or fire source, consider the size of your entertaining area, how many people you host and whether you prefer natural flame warmth or controlled electric heat. For those building an all round climate setup, you can also explore indoor options within our heaters range to maintain comfort across your entire home.

Comparing Features That Influence Performance

Outdoor heating products vary widely in design and capability. Gas patio heaters provide broad, powerful warmth for large gatherings, while portable firepits offer ambience and flexibility for camping or relaxed backyard nights. Electric models suit semi enclosed patios where convenience and safety are top priorities. To help move warm air or reduce smoke in seated areas, you may find added benefit in pairing your setup with airflow support from our fans collection.

When comparing outdoor heating, consider:

  • Heat coverage area and direction

  • Fuel type and ongoing cost

  • Portability for different outdoor layouts

  • Stability and weather resistance

  • Safety features such as tip over protection

  • Maintenance requirements

Creating a Comfortable Outdoor Entertaining Area

A well planned outdoor heating setup turns your backyard into a year round entertaining space. Combined with lighting, seating and outdoor cooking appliances, firepits and heaters help create welcoming ambience. For those who enjoy natural flame cooking or smoking, appliances such as BBQ smokers pair well with outdoor heating for winter gatherings. If you prefer a traditional indoor style outdoor heating option, contained units from our fireplaces and stoves collection offer an alternative look and feel.

Should you choose a fire pit, patio heater, or electric strip heater for your outdoor area?

Choose a fire pit when the goal is ambience and a social centrepiece for backyard seating. A patio heater suits open entertaining areas where you want standing warmth, including gas styles like 13.5 kW options. An electric strip heater works well for covered patios, directing radiant heat where people sit.

Do you need gas or electric outdoor heating, and what power or fuel checks matter most?

Gas outdoor heating is handy when there is no nearby power point, but check you have space for the gas bottle and a safe place to store it. Electric outdoor heating needs an accessible outlet and enough wattage, with options shown around 1500W to 3000W. Confirm lead placement and where the heater will be positioned.

What size heater or fire pit suits your space, and what clearance should you allow around it?

Match heater size to the area people actually use, not the full yard. Freestanding patio heaters need a clear circle for foot traffic and chairs, while strip heaters suit seating zones under cover. Fire pits need extra space for sparks and airflow, so keep furniture back and allow a generous buffer on all sides.

What safety and placement checks should you confirm, such as stability, heat direction, and weather exposure?

Prioritise a stable base for patio heaters and keep outdoor heating on a level surface so movement is less likely. Check heat direction for strip heaters so warmth faces seating, not walkways. Fire pits should sit away from fences and low branches. For weather exposure, choose sheltered placement and store portable items when not in use.
