According to the specifications, this heater is 87 inches (7.25 ft). Would this heater be okay to put on a porch, below a deck that is 10 feet above it? Should I be concerned that the heat could be a hazard or create burn marks on the deck above? Thanks.

You would need to contact the manufacturer, however if you have a clearance of 10 feet there should be no issue. The heater is around 7 feet tall, is the clearance 10 feet or 3 feet? There is no open flame, but a heck of a lot of heat coming off it.

Yes. I have both the large and small (like this one) ones on my deck. Put an old blanket or straw inside to keep them off the bare floor. I do have the heaters in them since I'm in Montana. I've seen four snuggled in there during bad weather. The only things I have against them is the clear plastic door (extra purchase) doesn't last long before it gets stiff and they let rain in the door-its needs more of a overhang and could be made smaller.

When mounting an electric wall heater its better to mount the heater lower to ground, much like you see in the picture 8" to 12" from the floor is best.. As we all know from science class heat rises, and with this electric wall heater the fan pulls the cold air in goes through the heating element and shots the hot air out of the smaller grille register. if you mount the heater higher hot air tends to stay high and the heater tend to recycle the hot air over and over again while the floor stays cold..

This heater requires a minimum clearance of 8' above the floor for public garages in accordance with the ANSI/NFPA No. 88 most recent edition. Commercial buildings have different clearance regulations. Please see page 3 of the owner's manual for detailed clearance requirements and also check your local codes and ordinances for installation requirements in your area prior to installing.

8 1/2" W x 11 3/4" H x 6 7/8" D Using the supplied wall mount will add another 3/4". The manual states that combustibles (cloth, paper, fabric, etc.) should be kept 3 feet from the front. Additional information to previous posts on "over-heating" and "safety tilt" shut-off. The manual does state that the heater has an over-temperature shut off. From experience, the front of this unit does not get too hot. Even when it's been running for 5 minutes continuous, I can touch the metal grill with it NOT being very hot. The actual heating element is "hidden" and the warm air is fan-forced out the front. I use my unit multiple times a day, every day. I do recommend this unit but do suggest that the instruction manual is read before using...don't just take my word for correctness of information posted.

This unit is recommended to be installed in buildings with 12 to 15 feet high ceilings. Installing it on a 10 foot high ceiling would not be recommended. Further the unit needs the following clearances to combustibles distances : 34in. from ceiling, 30in. from sides of heater, 30in. from back and 68in. from the base.

Heater instruction says that the pilot has to be at least 18 inches above the floor. I wouldn't set it right on the carpet if I was you. I installed this heater in my garage, on the wall, the top of the heater is 38 inches down from the ceiling and the bottom of the heater is 19 inches above the garage floor. The clearance between the heater and any other wall should be minimum 10.5 inches, according to the heater instructions. Also, this heater has to be placed at least 36 inches from any fabric/flammable objects.

I have mine inside an inclosed porch, not heated though. I think if it is covered and not exposed to the weather it may be alright. I wouldn't think it would be good if it gets wet, the finished may crack or wood could warp/buckle.

Depends I suppose on how hot you want the pool. WE keep ours at 83F without any trouble. Your location also has a bearing on it's suitability, we live around the Great Lakes. The heater is designed for outdoor installation, you should make a sun shield for the control panel as they will fail eventually due to exposure to direct sunlight

I would not recommend for deck it sits very low to ground it might not burn but it would defiantly leave a dark spot from heat

Michelle- Can't Be Much Help; We Purchased it as a Gift and I No Longer have it in My Possession. I Can Tell You That it is a "FANTASTIC" Heater. Guessing, I Would Say it was 6'-8'+ But the Heater Elements Separate and That Would add to the Length. I Highly Recommend it ! By Far the Best Heater We Found in Our Search. Ken / Rocket-J

I'm assuming it is a large open space and usually not well insulated. The heater is thermostatically controlled and would run constantly and burn itself out.

definitely safe since the flame is contained in a glass tube starting apprx. 1 ft up from the bottom and only goes up. there is no heat whatsoever below 1 ft from the table. but be aware ; the roof top of the heater is extremely hot. believe me, my wife touched it and burned 3 fingers pretty bad.

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.

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

Hi, Actually I have the heater in 500 sq ft area and it heats just wonderful. It has to be turned down or I have to shut it off even. I liked it so much I bought another one for heat down at our boathouse. I would give it an 9 on a 10 scale. Good Luck.
