I have a wall electric one. I used it in the old house and it was great. They have three heat settings as you need. I will be putting it up in my new house eventually but it would have been great to get it preinstalled with the power point. Oh well luck I know a good electrician!! I would recommend it. And mine is approx 4 years old so there is bound to be some new models out there. I can give you a phot of what I use if you need. Tam Re: Outdoor heating... 3May 07, 2008 10:17 am We were recently at a country pub that had a small 'alfresco' area heated by 4 electric heaters. I was completely sold on this type of heating (and it wasn't the beer, really!). Not sure what brand the heaters were but each heater was around 0.5m long and maybe 20 cm wide. They were black in colour and hardly noticible but gave off perfect heat - it made the area really cosy.
I think these would be perfect for at home and no worrying about filling gas bottles. Re: Outdoor heating... 4May 07, 2008 10:38 am I saw a great product at the Home Show on the weekend - ran off electricity but looked like ceramic panels - suspended from the roof for heating.
I'll try and find their details tonight. After 4 years - we're in! Re: Outdoor heating... 5May 07, 2008 11:09 am We have our alfresco area closed off with framed panels that have clear plastic inserts, and doors leading to our pergola area. I’ve an electric infrared heater in the alfresco area which works well with the area closed off plus the sliders open from the house so the ducted heating also assists, then I have a gas heater under the pergola for the smokers.

Put a bloddy jumper on I say and if it's to cold - then go inside. Steve But if I dont use my decking, then all of the embodied energy in it will be wasted!! And my hard yakka!! and those pine trees will have died for no benefit!! Seriously though, its just for the occasions we have a large number of people over, which isnt that often....not the party animals we used to be!! Thanks to everybody for the suggestions!

The peoples body heat will keep the area warm, and on those winter mornings when the sun is shining in - the blinds will keep the wind out and you will use the area more often. Believe me - it'll be a much better use of your bucks.
