patio heater

Terrace warming device

A patio heater is a freestanding outdoor heating device, typically tall and mushroom-shaped, that radiates warmth to make decks, patios, and restaurant terraces comfortable in cool weather.

Most run on propane, though electric models exist.

They became ubiquitous during the COVID-19 pandemic when outdoor dining expanded year-round.
