Dellonda Pyramid Gas Patio Heater 13kW for Commercial & Domestic Use

How much area does this patio heater effectively warm?

The Pyramid Gas Patio Heater heats up to 8m² effectively. The metal reflector directs heat downwards and outwards from the 13kW burner. However, customer reviews indicate that while it provides excellent warmth when sitting close to the unit, the heat may not reach across larger seating areas like an 8-seater round table. For best results, position seating within 2-3 metres of the heater.

What size gas bottle does this heater require and what's included?

This heater accommodates propane patio gas bottles with maximum dimensions of 320mm diameter and 700mm height. The unit comes complete with a 27mm regulator and hose assembly specifically designed for propane patio gas bottles. The gas bottle sits in a fully enclosed chamber at the base of the heater for safety and aesthetic purposes.

How difficult is the assembly process and how long does it take?

Assembly requires careful attention and typically takes between 2.5 to 4 hours according to customer feedback. The process needs at least two people for safe handling of components.

How does the flame effect work and is it adjustable?
