I'd like to place this by an outdoor dining table for 6 - would it keep everyone warm or not enough heat emitted?

I bought one to put on a patio in the winter. The patio was closed in but not winterized at all. I had a pig that would not go into the barn and our winter was so cold last year. The heater kept him nice and warm, I'd guess that when the temperature was 0-10, the patio never got below 40.

It is hard to guess. We only use this small space heater on our outdoor patio to heat an outdoor swing. We have ours hanging from the inside of the overhang/roof, facing directly onto the swing, which is about 5' away from someone sitting on the swing. When I sit next to the swing, I don't receive any heat, only immediately in front of the heater on the swing itself. So my guess is no, but for our needs, it has been fine.

Yes, it is safe to set on a table. it does not get hot; however, I would use a pad, cloth or some protection for a bare table.

I believe the Duraflame would be a good supplement heat source, however I do not think it should be your only heat source. We have teens and twenty degree nights but 5o in the daytime in the winter. We do have strong wind and it seems that we must turn up the fireplace heat some when the wind is strong. However it still lowered our fuel bill even then. I hope this helps your decision.

it gets very hot. curtains could definitely be a problem. Its a good light but it must be ventilated to cool down the area around it. ideally you want it out in the open with no confinements. good luck

My set is in a shaded area on my deck. It has not gotten to hot to sit in but it is warm. Hope that helps

I put it on my covered deck under the table hoping to keep me warm when I wanted to sit out there. Just doesn't put off enough heat to keep me warm in cold weather say in the 30's. I'm sure if you located it in a somewhat closed area it would be great for the cats.

I've found that it does not produce much heat at all. Mine is on an open deck so the heat rises into the air. It might feel warmer if placed under some type of covered area which would trap the heat nearer the ground, it is a beautiful affect but not warming.

I dont think it would be warm enough. Even in mild temperatures I have to have a heat lamp in it.

I have this installed in my garage and it does a great job keeping it to temperature. However, I don't think the fan on this would do a good enough job of circulating to cover 5 rooms. I think you would have 1 really hot room and it would be drastically cooler the further away from the heater you get.

My first response would be yes but always be sure that it doesn't get too warm. The heat may even irritate the area.

Mine was near the house so it blocked the wind. You could put a metal box with a hole for fumes around the top to see if that helped it stay lit.

Our unit does not get hot underneath ...... we were originally going to put ours on an outdoor rug but the unit is so heavy it was going to be very difficult to move every time I wanted to clean the deck!

The top will get hot to the touch, but nothing above with get hot or burn. There's a top shield the radiates the heat downward. If you have a covered patio you'll be fine for it. It heats up fast though. It's made for outdoor radiant heat, so if your patio is covered let it run for 5-10 minutes then shut it off. It's not a space heater, it's an outdoor patio unit

That's your choice. If you don't want it sitting down low in the sand, you need it up higher. A tabletop would be fine. But it should be a non flammable surface.

I think that would be Ok...... I have it on all the time and haven't had any trouble.... it's doesn't get hot.... the only thing I would have it high up just in case you have inquisitive children or pets getting too close!!
