Heater rental

There is no fixed rule because courtyards differ in size, wind direction and seating shape. The most useful thing is to describe the rough size of the space and the seating layout, whether one row or two facing sections, and we agree a number that reaches every seated guest.

Yes, moving air reduces how far warmth travels in any open space. The answer is usually not more heaters but better placement: positioned to face the seated guests from the direction the wind comes, or with a light screen around the seating to break the airflow. Tell us about the typical wind in your space.

A heater should always sit at a clear distance from any fabric, whether cushion edges, curtains or the hems of neighbouring tablecloths. The common problem is that the heater is placed correctly but fabric is moved closer during the event. Make sure the space around it stays clear throughout.

A tent open on one or two sides benefits from a heater more than a fully open space because the roof holds some warmth. Placement still matters: the heater should face the seating area directly and stand away from the fabric walls and canopy overhead. Send us a photo of the tent and tell us which sides are open.

Yes, many occasions have both an indoor section and an outdoor section on the same night. The indoor part suits a heater sized for the enclosed space, and the outdoor part benefits from an outdoor heater that directs warmth to people sitting in open air. Tell us about both spaces and the guest count in each.
