All gas appliances/installations should be installed by a qualified gas
engineer/plumber who is corgi registered by law.


This presumably doesn't apply if you are running this off bottled gas
(otherwise it would be impossible to have freestanding gas heaters)


If you mean the type that have an integral bottle, or connect via a
flexible pipe direct to the bottle then no as these aren't 'installed'
in that sense. But then they tend to cost more to buy

Are these really sigificantly better / cheaper than using electric
heaters?


The are probably cheaper to run, but you need to ensure enough
ventilation, for air supply, for waste gas removal, and for the extra
water vapour produced. for the 'normal' domestic garden I don't think
the cost savings are really worth the effort.
