Know before you buy
This unit is rated to heat up to 200 square feet, making it suitable for most standard-sized patio seating areas or deck spaces.
Yes, the adjustable swivel arm allows you to direct the heat exactly where you need it most, rather than just heating the air directly above the unit. This is particularly useful if you are sitting at a table or in a specific corner of your patio.
No, the propane tank is hidden within the base of the unit, which keeps the aesthetic clean and prevents the tank from being a tripping hazard.
Despite weighing 100 pounds, the included wheel kit makes it relatively easy to reposition the heater on flat surfaces like concrete or decking. We recommend moving it slowly to ensure stability.
The heater includes an automatic tip-over protection system that shuts off the gas supply if the unit is tilted or knocked over, providing essential peace of mind for outdoor use.
Not at all. The heater features a simple electric ignition system, allowing you to start it up quickly and easily without needing a manual lighter or matches.
