When Using Multiple Patio Heaters


Create a cozy atmosphere to your outdoor gathering area by using more than one outdoor patio heater. To keep your guests as comfortable as can be, install or place multiple patio heaters close together. Most units have an effective range between 8 and 15 feet. Place units close enough together so the ranges overlap to create a continuous zone of comfort. Using propane patio heaters in a group like this provides more comfort than placing them around in singular locations.

Obviously, windy weather can decrease the effectiveness of tabletop patio heaters. In fully exposed areas and strong winds, it helps to place the outdoor patio heaters closer together. In mild weather and in well protected areas, you can spread them farther apart. If using portable units, make sure you have the ability to freely move them as the weather conditions demand.
