			<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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-932" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;" title="friends on the patio " src="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/friends-on-the-patio-a.jpg" alt="friends on the patio " width="367" height="258" />So many of us enjoy our patios in the warmer months, but find we are run inside when it turns cold. You can easily make your patio an area you can use during all seasons.  There are lots of options available for making your patio a year-round space.</p>
<h3>Add Warmth on the Patio for Colder Months</h3>
<p>You can add a heating source to an open patio to provide warmth during the chilly months.  Some options include electric and gas heaters of all types, wood burning fire pits, fireplaces or chimeneas. You can also consider enclosing some of the sides to block out the wind and cold air. You can even completely enclose the area with retractable doors so it can be closed during the winter and open during the summer.</p>
<h3>Stay Cool with Ceiling Fans and Awnings</h3>
<p>Stay cool during those hot months with a misting system or ceiling fan.  Awnings provide great protection during the rainy season as well as shade when the sun is bearing down.  Enjoy your patio all year long by incorporating seasonal elements.</p>
<p>You can find most everything you need to make your patio comfortable and usable all through the year at <a title="DirectBuy" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/" target="_blank">DirectBuy</a>.  Manufacturer-direct wholesale prices allow you to buy quality <a title="patio furniture" href="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/" target="_blank">patio furniture</a> and other <a title="outdoor accessories" href="http://www.directoutdoorliving.com/" target="_blank">outdoor accessories</a> while you save.</p>

<p>Outdoor livings spaces have been quite the trend for the past ten years or so.  Many homeowners view it as an opportunity to relax just as much on the patio as they do in the living room.  Outdoor fire pits, fireplaces, or heaters go a long way in making your outdoor area a gathering spot or focal point, particularly in cold weather.</p>
<p>There are laws in some towns and cities concerning burning wood or having open flames in your yard, so make sure you check the regulations where you live.  Even in these circumstances, there are many fireplace designs which use natural or propane gas.  With a myriad of aesthetic designs and energy sources, there is certainly just the right outdoor heating product to help keep you warm as you chill out on a cool night in your backyard patio area.</p>
<p>For everything you need to make your <a title="patio" href="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/" target="_blank">patio</a> and <a title="outdoors" href="http://www.directoutdoorliving.com/" target="_blank">outdoors</a> an inviting space to relax and entertain, <a title="DirectBuy " href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/" target="_blank">DirectBuy </a>is your number one source.
