10 Best Patio Heaters UK 2024 | Gasdepot, Blumfeldt and More

This Amazon Basics gas patio heater is well priced and well stoked, as it's even powerful enough for use in cafes and bars. Despite the ultra-high output of energy at 13,500 W, many customers have praised it for its economical gas usage. 

Being constructed from stainless steel ensures it'll keep you and your family soaking up the nights for many years to come. Plus, with safety shut-off capabilities adding an element of safety and wheels to save your back, this heater has plenty going on for a more-than-reasonable price. 

Gasdepot offer a product of unrivalled beauty with this elegant yet bold freestanding gas heater. Forged from stainless steel, there is a reassuring level of corrosion resistance, while the internal flame is protected by a thick glass flue. 

This flue allows the flame to burn long and bright into the night and the metal grate ensures no inquisitive hands can be mesmerised into touching the flame. All of this style and sophistication is reflected in the high price tag, but this really is a must-have if you're kitting out a luxurious patio area. 

As well as a bronze-coloured powder-coating, this freestanding gas heater is constructed from hammered metal to give it a unique and earthy texture and look. With 12,000 W of gas-driven heat, it'll also warm large outdoor patios and garden areas alike. 

The included wheels will aid you in transporting this behemoth of the heating world around to wherever you see fit for the evening. The consumption usage, which ranges from 450-870 g/hour, mean it won't be the cheapest to run, but when you consider the powerful heating scope, it makes a lot of sense. 

This 2,000 W ceiling fan inspired heater is designed to be inconspicuously attached to a parasol's post. This will make it out of sight, out of mind, but not out of heart, as it'll give a great amount of warming projection from its proud post up above you and your guests below. 

Being built from stainless steel and plastic gives it very good weather-resistance, allowing it to remain outside through the harshest of winters. With three individual heating panels and three heat settings to boot, this is a forward-thinking electric heater. 

This freestanding electric heater is ideal for a variety of small outdoor spaces. Due to its sturdy and short stature, it could also suit being on top of a table if you feel like warming your face instead of your feet. 

Regrettably, at 1,200 W it has the lowest power output of any heater on this list, but the space-saving design makes up for this lack of power as you will be able to get much closer to it. It includes all the essential safety features, and is even waterproof, so you don't have to fret if you're caught in the rain!

This 4,000 W gas heater is specifically designed as a tabletop heater. Placing it front and centre on the table will ensure an ample amount of heat will be projected down and outward to everyone lucky enough to be sitting near it, and the weighted base will keep it safe from any accidental knocks. 

The stainless steel construction ensures it'll handle some weather and keep on shining, too. It really comes alive on the safety-first front though, with flame-failure protection and an anti-tip device to shut the gas off if it suddenly takes an unexpected tumble. 

This small but smart-looking freestanding heater from Luxeva is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, so you can bring it into the living room once patio time is over. It's another electric heater with a maximum power output of 2,000 W that also offers two heat settings.

Constructed from aluminium and with no water-resistance rating, it'll either pay to zip-up this heater in it's included cover or store it inside when the end of the night draws to a close. Still, if you're looking for a heater to keep you warm in all parts of the home, then this freestanding electric will do just that. 

Through being both small and simple in design, this hanging electric heater will suit compact patios and can also be brought on the road for camping trips and weekends away. With a swift clip, it can hang above wherever you see fit. 

This is another electric heater with 2,000 watts of power and a running cost of 33p/hour. Unfortunately, though, it only has two heat settings giving you less opportunity to dial into your preferred heat. It's also made of iron, so it may be prone to corrosion if not shielded proprly. 

Another inexpensive electric heater designed to warm small, contained spaces, this wall-mounting heater is also best suited to being tucked in a corner away from the wind and rain, due to its small stature and non-existent material list. 

What it does have going for it is 3 heat settings ranging from 650-2,000 W, which is perfectly adequate to warm you in the right setting. It also has a 45° tilting element to give you a greater range of heat-projected potential and overheat protection to give you assurance when it's fired-up and left unattended. 

This electric heater from La Hacienda is a freestanding option for anyone on a budget. It features a maximum power output of 2,000 watts, which is on the lower end for freestanding patio heaters. Due to this low power, it thankfully has an even lower associated running cost of just 29p an hour. 

Being constructed from aluminium and steel without the mention of powder-coating or stainless brings into question how corrosion-resistant it really is, which is a good indicator as to why this freestanding heater is so cheap. Perhaps this is one better stored away from the elements when not in use.
