About this product
The BU-KO Outdoor Patio Gas Heater offers a robust solution for extending your outdoor living space. Constructed from premium stainless steel with a powder coated aluminium finish, this heater is designed to withstand exposure to harsh weather conditions, including intense sunlight and salty air. Its pyramid style design ensures the heat is dispersed widely across a substantial area – approximately 314 square feet – making it suitable for patios and gardens where you want to create a comfortable gathering space.
This portable heater features wheels for easy repositioning on your patio and includes a waterproof cover for added protection when not in use. It operates using propane fuel, delivering a powerful 13kW output and is certified safe with a built-in safety valve that automatically shuts off the fuel supply if it’s tilted, alongside protective netting. Assembly is straightforward thanks to a step-by-step video guide, though two people are recommended for easier handling during the process.
The heater measures 52D x 46.5W x 222H centimetres and weighs 27 kilograms. It's important to note that the propane fuel bottle itself is not included, so you’ll need to factor in the cost of purchasing one separately. Please ensure you have access to a suitable propane supply before use.
BU-KO provides a two-year residential and one-year commercial warranty for this product, supported by their dedicated customer service team available seven days a week. They maintain a complete line of replacement parts and offer full-service repair centre support should any issues arise.
