Heating Outdoor Living Spaces

Heating Outdoor Living Spaces

TOM: Don’t let cooler nights chase you off your patio or deck. Here are some how-to tips for heating outdoor living spaces to use them well into autumn. Hi, I’m Tom Kraeutler.

LESLIE: And I’m Leslie Segrete with today’s Money Pit Home Improvement Minute.

TOM: By adding a heating appliance or two, you can continue enjoying outdoor living spaces well into fall. Patio heaters come in a range of sizes and designs. Get a tabletop model to warm up an outdoor living area or make a large space cozy with a freestanding umbrella shaped heater.

LESLIE: You can also use a cheap fire pit for cozy fall marshmallow roasts. Options include freestanding metal or clay pits that you can purchase. Or you can build one yourself from paver stones.

TOM: Next, bring out some warm accessories like throws for outdoor furniture. And add an outdoor rug to prevent cold feet.

LESLIE: Upgrade your deck or patio with a few of these cool weather changes, and you’ll be set for many wonderful autumn evenings outside. I’m Leslie Segrete.
