Call it premature, but the moment March arrives and the first tickle of sunshine hits my skin, I'm back in the garden for as long as the temperature allows. There's nothing quite like a morning coffee on the patio or an al fresco dinner as the sun sets, but at this time of year, the lingering chill rarely lets you stay for long. That is, unless you have a patio heater that allows you to stretch out those outdoor moments.
After one too many evenings juggling portable lamps and piling on blankets, I decided it was time to buy an outdoor heater of my own — something that would bring a touch of luxury to my space. The catch? I knew the typical, bulky tower heaters were out of the question. If it was going to earn a place on my patio, it needed to look as good as the rest of my garden setup.
