They are very stable, usually with the gas kept safely internally in the base, they have a funnel up to the burners and the heat is dispersed downward via a reflector. They are sleek in design oftentimes with a snazzy chrome or brushed metal finish. Running on propane or butane natural gas they are very economical to maintain and operate.

Chimeneas

For a more rustic look to your patio garden heater you might want to go with a traditional Mexican Chimenea. They come in a variety of sizes and although the most authentic ones are still made from clay, meaning each one is completely unique, nowadays you can also buy more long lasting cast iron ones. These garden heaters can burn wood, coal and BBQ bricks, emitting a really good heat to keep you warm and look amazing in any rustic garden setting.

Electric Patio Garden Heaters

The newest addition to outdoor heating is electric and halogen patio heaters that run from the mains.

They produce a good amount of heat and come in a variety of styles. Some are wall mounted, saving space, while others are free standing like the more traditional gas burning patio garden heaters.
