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.

Thanks


Get a chiminea - it's amazing how much heat these kick out, and you're not
needlessly using fossil fuel resources. When we're low on wood (ie I
haven't ripped anything out of the house for a couple of months!) I search
around for knackered pallettes, scrounge scrap from skips, etc, & reassure
myself that it's saving on landfill... (that may be an entirely incorrect
argument, but I'm sure that a lot of it does, and it makes me feel better
anyway!)
