Question

We're thinking of buying a patio heater this summer, but with two toddlers and a labrador, I'm a bit concerned that it will get knocked over.

Answer

No need to be, with Calor Gas' Commercial patio heater, the gas cylinder is actually stored in the base of the heater. The combination of the weight of the gas bottle and the heater's sturdy construction, makes it extremely difficult to knock over. For added reassurance, Calor has also built in a safety tilt cut off device, if it is ever accidentally knocked into. This heater also has a lockable door and wheels, and comes in a range of fab colours too, ensuring style and safety. Prices range from £309. For stockists call Calor Gas Direct on 0800 662 663 or visit our BBQ Shop.

Question

I'm organising a birthday party for my husband in early September and would like to set up a gazebo in the garden - in case it gets a bit chilly in the evening, can I use a patio heater too?

Answer

Due to risk of fire, conventional awnings, tents or gazebos should never be used over patio heaters. However, Calor Gas has created a perfect solution - the Calor Garden Bistro. A specially designed, flame retardant gazebo with extra high roof and vents plus twin detachable sides, houses a Heatwave patio heater, a circular hardwood table and four chairs along with a gas barbecue. The Calor Garden Bistro provides the complete alfresco entertaining package and is priced at around £1,000. Visit our BBQ Shop or call 0800 662 663 for further details and stockists.
