Outdoor heating makes it easier to enjoy decks and patios year-round. It adds comfort and helps create a welcoming atmosphere.
Common heating options include fire pits, freestanding gas heaters, chimineas, and built-in fireplaces. Each has pros and cons around cost, heat output, and maintenance.
Fire pits and chimineas offer a traditional feel and can be a focal point. Gas heaters are fast to heat but require a gas source and regular checks.
Built-in fireplaces suit permanent setups. They can burn wood or gas and offer both warmth and style, especially when built into walls or outdoor kitchens.
When choosing a heater, think about placement, wind exposure, and how close people will sit. Always follow safety guidelines and consider ventilation.
