Patio heaters have rapidly grown in popularity in recent years, particularly amongst bars and restaurants, as they allow guests to comfortably sit outside late into the night without the need to grab an extra layer. Given that they provide a noticeable amount of heat, they are ideal if you want to extend the Summer and make the most of your outside space well into Autumn without feeling the cold.
