Hello,

this may or may not be the correct place to post this message, sorry if it
is not.

Has anyone had experience of heating up an outdoor area with a 1.3kw
infrra
red heater.

As summer and then autumn is fast approaching I would like to enjoy my
garden for that little while longer.

Any advice would be gladly received

From experience of commercial premises they seem to work best when combined
with a lot of shade e.g. on an outside terrace shielded from the wind on at
least 2 sides.

Logical; if you are in freely moving air then the warmed air will quickly
blow away and you are left with radiant warming of the upper parts of your
body.

So a nice south facing pergola, angle where two walls join, or similar
sheltered are should work O.K. for a slightly chilly day.

In the middle of a draught, and you will need a lot of radiant heat to stop
you from shivering :-)

Cheers
