When to hire patio heaters

Patio heaters are suitable for any outdoor event where guest comfort in cooler temperatures is a consideration. They are widely used at garden parties in spring and autumn, at beer festivals and pub-style outdoor events, and at corporate hospitality events held on terraces or in marquees with open sides.

Important: patio heaters must not be used in enclosed tents or fully covered structures. They are designed for outdoor or open-sided use only.

What to hire with patio heaters

Gas bottles are available to hire alongside the heaters; see gas bottle hire. Pair with outdoor tables and outdoor furniture to create a complete outdoor seating area. Parasols can be used during the daytime in the same setup, with heaters taking over for the evening.

Ordering

Expo Hire stocks patio heaters for events of various sizes. A typical outdoor dining setup of 50 guests would require 5 to 8 heaters, depending on the layout. Heaters are in high demand for autumn and spring events.
