Autumn is a transitional season, with many people still hosting get-togethers in their gardens despite the weather becoming more of an issue. There is nothing to stop you from getting use out of your Charles Taylor garden furniture in September and October, but you may need an additional source of warmth. Here are some garden heating ideas.
A firepit
This is one of the most popular forms of garden heating. They are containers made from stone or metal in which an open fire can be lit. The fuel for the fire is provided by either charcoal or wood. One reason why people like firepits is that they offer atmosphere as well as warmth. The flickering flames are great for creating an ambience.
A chiminea
Another option for staying warm in your garden during autumn is a chiminea. This is a kind of stove that has a narrow chimney top and wider bottom. The biggest difference between a chiminea and a firepit is that, with the former, the flames are covered. This means they are less atmospheric, but that they can be more practical. The fire will not be blown out by the wind, and they are safer around children.
A gas heater
The last option is to go with a gas heater. You can get models that are specifically designed for use on a patio, and one advantage of them is the amount of heat they give. They will provide warmth over a wide area.
Try any of these methods for heating your garden – and yourself! – this autumn.
