With the chill of fall turning into the cold of winter, you may be thinking of ways to still enjoy the outdoors while still staying comfortable. Bundling up is certainly an option, but there are still many other alternatives out there that can leave you more relaxed.
Whether you’re looking to heat your own home or a commercial space, below are some of the best outdoor heating options that are easy to find and ins tall. Once you install the heating mechanisms, you and your guests can comfortably enjoy the outdoors, while staying comfortably warm.
Gas Logs
There are two types of logs that you may be considering: traditional wooden logs and gas logs. While traditional logs are certainly quaint, they are much more challenging to implement and they also release some dangerous gases. An alternative to traditional logs are gas logs.
Gas logs are made out of synthetic materials and operate on gas. Once you turn on the gas, the logs begin to burn a natural fire. This type of option is much easier for most commercial and residential establishments and they are also not as messy as traditional logs, which leave soot everywhere.
Outdoor Heaters
Another popular option is to install a portable outdoor heater. A portable outdoor heater is essentially a flat surface that emits heat. It can be hung anywhere and when individuals stand near it, they are able to stay warm and comfortable. The great quality about these heaters is that you’ll be able to find many aesthetic options on the market.
Just because you have an outdoor heater in place does not mean that you need to compromise on the appearance of the space. In addition, if you aren’t savvy at installation, you can certainly have a professional handle the job for you.
A Heat Lamp
Finally, if you are looking for a more permanent option, then you may also want to consider a heat lamp. While not as aesthetic and useful as an outdoor heater that is portable, a heat lamp is still useful because it still is a comfortable option. The main disadvantage to keep in mind with a heat lamp is that it isn’t portable. Once you set it in a place, it becomes difficult to move and it can also have a tendency to break down more often because it is more accessible to people in the area.
