Commercial patio heaters are a slightly different breed than other types of units designed for heating patios. Although copper fire pits and gas patio heaters are great for small city backyards, commercial patio heaters are more suitable when you have a little more space.
In general, commercial patio heaters are tall standing units made of metal; you have probably seen them on bar patios in the spring and autumn. Various models may run by burning gas, propane or using electricity. Regardless, they are quite powerful. Commercial natural gas patio heaters were originally developed for bar and restaurant patios, allowing people to relax outside into the winter months without freezing. Although developed for the commercial scene, they can be great for a backyard in the right circumstance.
Spend more of the year outside
The heating capabilities of a commercial patio heater will allow you to begin spending time outside weeks earlier in the spring, and continue spending time outside weeks later in the autumn than would normally be possible. This is especially useful if you enjoy throwing outdoor parties and hate waiting for the snow to melt and the air to warm. In addition, these large commercial units will add an air of professionalism to your patio.
Portable but safe
Commercial patio heaters are much heavier and sturdier than smaller table top units. This means that you never really have to worry about someone accidentally tipping them over. At the same time, they are also not so heavy that they cannot be moved around if necessary. This means that they can moved around on your patio to create your desired setup, and can also be stored safely inside during the winter.
Substantially more power
Smaller units like propane fire pits will heat up a small area; this is great if you want to create a relaxed atmosphere to chat and unwind. But if you are looking to throw down a serious jam than you probably desire something with a little more kick; commercial patio may be a good option. Some units have the ability to heat up an area twenty feet in diameter. This is why they are not very suitable for small patios. With this kind of heating power, a few units have the ability to warm up quite a large area.
Do you love throwing large parties but hate it when the cold weather gets in your way. Are small heating units just not providing enough heat? If this describes you then a commercial outdoor patio heater could be just what you are looking for.
