Gas vs electric: which should I choose?

Gas heaters produce more heat and suit open outdoor spaces where there is no power supply nearby. They run on propane cylinders (not included). Electric heaters need a 13A socket and are the cleaner option for semi-enclosed areas or venues with strict fire safety requirements.

For a covered terrace or smoking area next to a building, electric is usually easier. For a garden, rooftop, or open marquee courtyard, gas gives more output.

How many heaters do I need?

For open outdoor areas, one mushroom or pyramid heater covers a standing group of around 15–20 people. For seated outdoor dining, plan one heater per table. In cold weather or on exposed sites, increase this by 50%.

For marquees and enclosed tents, see our marquee heater hire page — space heaters are a better fit for those situations.
