Hi,
The price of the 13.4 kw propane gas heaters is about £90 - £100
nowadays but I have heard many people say that they are great but
you
have to huddle round the heating pole.
I saw a tv program the other week "City Gardener" where he used
some
small electric heaters that looked like floodlight's. I cant
remember
how much he said they were or what make/model they were.

My patio is 26ft x 9ft so i suppose its long & thin.

Does anyone know whats the best way of heating such a space?

Should I use the 13.5 kw gas type you see in B&Q or is there
something
better?

The gas ones seem a bit big & bulky.

I saw an old thread that mentioned infra red heaters, but i think
it
was about a year old and semed to say the heat blows away easily in
the wind.

My pation is quite breezy.

I can't quite understand how a gas one would have its heat blown away
any more than an electric one of the same power. I recommend a
sweater, anyhow: kinder to the planet, and it follows you about.
