Extend Your Season, Extend the Memories
There’s something incredibly satisfying about defying the seasons and claiming your outdoor space all year long. Canada’s winters are no joke, but with a gas fire table and/or patio heater, those chilly nights become cozy opportunities to gather with friends and family or enjoy some quiet time outdoors.
Outdoor heating does more than keep you warm. It creates an ambiance that draws people together. There’s nothing quite like the hypnotic flicker of flames or the enveloping warmth of a patio heater to make your backyard feel like an extension of your home.
Things You Might Not Know About Outdoor Heating
We get it. You’ve heard the basics: outdoor heaters keep you warm, fire tables add a glow, and both extend your patio season. But here are some tidbits you may not have considered:
- Zone Heating is Key: Use different types of outdoor heaters to create warm zones for dining, lounging, or entertaining. A fire table for your seating area and a standing patio heater for dining spaces work wonders.
- Heat Reflectors Matter: Our mushroom style Patio Heaters come with larger 32” reflectors, creating a larger circumference of heat output around your space.
- Gas or Electric? Gas heaters are a great long-term investment with the most output of any fuel type. No refills, no fuss. Electric heaters offer simple versions to plug into your existing 120V outlet or upgrade your electric run to increase the heat output for 240V heaters.
- Flame Height Control: Fire tables let you adjust the flame height, so you can control not just the heat but also the vibe.
