			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong></strong><a href="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/patio-propane-heater1.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2230" title="patio propane heater" src="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/patio-propane-heater1-132x300.jpg" alt="Add warmth to your patio with a propane heater." width="132" height="300" /></a>Whether you live in a climate with four different seasons or a warmer area with mildly chilly evenings and winters, a patio heater will increase the amount of time you can comfortably spend on your patio. Before making your purchase, there are a few things to consider.</p>
<h3><strong>Type of heat source</strong></h3>
<p>Types of patio heaters include propane, electric and gas. Electric models are the most convenient and inexpensive to operate. However, they must be near an electrical outlet, thus limiting the possible locations. Natural gas heaters must also be in fixed location near the gas source. Propane types offer the most flexibility in regards to placement, but you must purchase the propane.</p>
<h3><strong>Style and Size</strong></h3>
<p>The three basic styles are the tabletop, mounted and freestanding heaters. Tabletop heaters are nice for smaller spaces, since they can heat an area of around 8 to 12 feet. Mounted heaters that go in a wall or ceiling free up more space to entertain. Full-size heaters, which can moved, are ideal for approximately 25 feet.</p>
<p>After selecting the type, style and size, consumers can choose from finishes like bronze, stainless steel or a powder-coated finish. Each type will extend your enjoyment of the outdoors.</p>
<p>If you want to make your outdoor spaces attractive and enjoyable, <a title="DirectBuy" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/" target="_blank">DirectBuy</a> has a wonderful selection of most everything you need for your patio or deck, whether <a title="outdoor lighting" href="http://www.directoutdoorliving.com/lighting.aspx" target="_blank">outdoor lighting</a>, <a title="patio furniture" href="../../" target="_blank">patio furniture</a> or other <a title="outdoor accessories" href="http://www.directoutdoorliving.com/" target="_blank">outdoor accessories</a>, you will find a great selection at great savings of up to 50% off retail.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Patio heaters come in a wide range of types. You can choose from various energy sources - solar, propane, natural gas and electric - to keep your outdoor entertainment area warm and cozy. Different styles such as table top and floor models are also available.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Patio heaters use different types of fuel.  There are heaters that use natural gas.  Some heaters use propane gas and some heat up with solar energy.  Heaters which can be operated using electricity are also available.</p>
<p>Natural gas heaters are available in different shapes and sizes.  This heater requires only a small quantity of natural gas.  This makes the heater an inexpensive option.  The only criterion is that it needs to be kept in a place where there is ventilation.</p>
<p>Some people prefer propane heaters because propane gas is cheaper than natural gas.  Propane gas comes in tanks and this makes them the most frequently chosen option for tabletop heaters.  These propane heaters also should be kept in well-ventilated places.  Propane heaters are a very effective way to make your patio warm during barbecues or dinner parties.</p>
<p>Solar heaters work with the energy they derive from the sun.  Similarly the electrical heaters make use of electricity to heat up the area.</p>
<p>All these heaters come with a user manual for easy reference.  As with all home appliances, you should follow safety standards for patio heaters as well. Most of the heaters come with an electric starter and thus avoid the use of matches.  Similarly, most heaters have an automatic shut off option also.  This helps in avoiding unnecessary accidents.</p>
<p>Whatever type of patio heater seems right for your outdoor environment, you can count on these devices to help you and your guests enjoy a cool evening outdoors.</p>
