Patio Heater Hire

Patio heater hire for outdoor events

Outdoor events run longer when guests can stand, eat and talk in comfort after the sun drops. Expo Hire supplies patio heater hire for wedding planners, festival organisers, corporate event teams and venue crews who need heat at entrances, terrace seating, smoking areas, marquee edges and outdoor bar spaces. This range covers LPG and electric models, so you can match the heater to the site, the power supply and the amount of cover on the day.

Mushroom Patio Heater and Pyramid Patio Heater both run on LPG and each gives you up to 13kW of heat. Mushroom Patio Heater throws broad overhead heat across a 3 to 4 metre radius, which makes it a strong pick for open courtyards, pub gardens, race day enclosures and paths between marquee spaces. Pyramid Patio Heater gives you the same 13kW output with a visible flame inside the tube, so venue teams often place it in guest-facing spots such as terrace bars, drinks receptions and entrance zones where the heater also adds light and a strong visual point.

• Use LPG heaters where power is not close by, where guests move between open outdoor zones, or where you need fast coverage across a wide area.
• Use Electric Patio Heater where you have a 13A socket, a covered terrace, a sheltered marquee edge or a venue that does not want gas cylinders on site.
• Electric Patio Heater gives you up to 2000W across three settings, which suits host stations, smoking shelters, reception doors and small seating groups.
• Add Patio Gas Bottle 13kg to each gas heater plan. One bottle runs a single appliance for around 12 to 14 hours.

Heater numbers depend on layout, wind and guest density. A packed bar queue needs more heat than a spread terrace, and a marquee edge loses heat faster than a walled courtyard. That is why planners often split the order between LPG units for open ground and mains units for covered sections. You can pair this range with our wider outdoor hire stock or go straight to outdoor heating for the full heating range.

We deliver patio heaters from £40 with no deposit, live stock and delivery 7 days a week, so you can cover winter receptions, outdoor weddings, festivals and corporate garden parties without a last-minute heat gap.
