Patio Heaters in May: Enjoy Your Garden Longer with the Right Heater

May is the month in which we go outside again. The sun shows itself more often, the garden is in bloom and the terrace invites you to relax. But as soon as the evening falls, it can still cool down considerably. Do you want to sit outside comfortably then? Then a good patio heater is the solution.

In this blog you can read everything you need to know about patio heating in May: from types of heaters to useful tips and where to buy them.

Why a patio heater in May?

Although spring is in full swing, temperatures are still erratic. Pleasant during the day, often cold in the evening. It would be a shame to go inside, while your garden or terrace is looking its best.

With an outdoor heater you can enjoy every moment outdoors for longer — whether you're hanging out with friends, reading a good book or lighting the barbecue.

Popular types of patio heaters

When choosing a patio heater there are several options. Below are the three most popular types:

🔌 Electric patio heater

The electric patio heater is ideal for fixed places such as under a canopy or veranda. Thanks to the infrared technology, it provides direct and focused heat.

🔥 Gas patio heater

Perfect for larger patios or locations without power, a gas heater is portable and powerful, ideal for open spaces.

🌡️ Infrared heater

An infrared heater does not heat the air, but directly people and objects. Super efficient and ideal for sheltered places.

What should you pay attention to?

• Power : Adjust the wattage to the size of your patio.

• Weather resistance : Pay attention to an IP value (splash-proof or waterproof).

• Mounting : Choose between wall mounting, ceiling or freestanding.

• Smart features : Think of a remote control or motion sensor.

Additional tips for optimal use

• Aim your patio heater at the seating area, not the open air.

• Combine with a windbreak or canopy for maximum effect.

• Only turn on the heater when you are actually seated – use a timer if necessary.
