Know the wind, the sun and the curb line
Read the frame line first, then the seat: aluminum, resin, synthetic teak and coated steel all live outside. A few models are marked for covered patios only, so put those under a roof or an awning. Slatted seats shed a shower faster than solid ones, and a stackable chair cuts the nightly breakdown in half.
Propane runs both patio heaters, each on a 20-pound tank, so plan where the spare tanks are kept and check your local rules before the first cold night.
Use the model instructions
Review the stated power or fuel type, installation requirements, and clearances for the exact heater. Positioning and operation must follow the product instructions and the requirements that apply to your venue.
Check the stated use
Read the listed indoor or outdoor use and the material details for each product. A patio photograph or a similar-looking finish is not a substitute for the product description.
When the sun drops behind the buildings, the sidewalk empties. 2 stainless steel patio heaters here help keep it full: a 40,000 BTU model and a 46,000 BTU model, both running on a 20-pound propane tank. Choose by footprint and output. Then plan where the spare tanks will be kept and how the heaters fit between the tables.
Two heaters, two footprints
The 40,000 BTU heater measures 31 inches wide, 18 inches deep and 87 inches tall. The 46,000 BTU heater is 28 3/4 inches wide, 89 1/2 inches tall and weighs 66 pounds. Both are stainless steel and both take a 20-pound propane tank. The 40,000 BTU model starts around $338, and the 46,000 BTU model is about $610.
Height is the first check. Each one rises more than seven feet, so look up before you place it: awnings, umbrellas, string lights and tree limbs all sit in that zone. Keep canopies closed or well away from any heater that is lit.
Placing them between tables
A heater takes real floor in a tight row. Plan for it like a seat. Put heaters where guests sit longest, at the far end of the sidewalk or the rooftop corner where wind finds people first, and keep the service aisle at 36 inches around them.
Count heaters by the seats you want warm, not by the square footage of the patio. Put one where a cluster of two-tops gathers, run it on a cool evening, and see how far the warmth reaches before you add the second.
Fuel is part of the setup. Somebody swaps tanks, somebody stores the spares, and your local fire and building rules decide where full and empty tanks may sit. Ask before the first cold night, not after.
Care through the season
Wipe the stainless steel down after rain, check the base before each shift, and store the heaters dry when you close the outdoor season. Cover them between uses to keep dust and pollen off.
Heaters pair well with seating that stays out late. Look at patio chairs for the dining row and patio bar stools for the rail, and add patio partitions where a little wind block helps. Mark each heater as its own line in your outdoor plan, with a note on where its tank lives.
Freight arrives palletized. Book a liftgate with the order if your address has no dock, and plan two people on delivery day, since unpacking and assembly stay with you. To compare both models, open the 46,000 BTU heater and the 40,000 BTU heater side by side.
