Why this patio heater earns its place
At 2070mm tall on a 425mm diameter base, this Bolero heater is built to do the job a patio heater is actually bought for: throw warmth down over a real cluster of outdoor seating, not just the spot directly underneath it. The lamp-style head sits well above head height, spreading heat across a wider footprint than a low tabletop unit ever could.
It's rated IP44, which means it's built to cope with the kind of splashing and damp conditions an outdoor terrace or beer garden throws at it — a genuine outdoor electrical fitting, not an indoor heater pressed into service outside. That rating comes with an electrical safety notice, so it's worth having it installed and connected properly rather than treating it as a plug-and-forget appliance.
Construction is aluminium and stainless steel, finished in silver — a heater that looks the part on a terrace rather than like borrowed workshop kit. And despite the height, it's genuinely freestanding and light for what it is: 10.5kg gross, so repositioning it around a terrace as the evening trade shifts is a quick job, not a two-person lift.
