FAQ
Electric or gas outdoor heater?
Electric is simpler for covered balconies/strata; gas gives strong heat in open areas but needs clearances and ventilation.
How powerful?
Match wattage/MJ to the zone size and wind exposure — makers list coverage guides.
Under a sail/umbrella?
Keep rated clearances from fabric; never heat near flammable shade.
Freestanding vs wall?
Wall/ceiling frees floor space on narrow balconies; freestanding moves with seating.
Safety?
Tip-over switches, cool-down, outdoor IP ratings; follow local rules.
