    Hopefully I'm in the right forum...

    But anyway, I managed to finish my little patio last year (not much else to do last summer) - roughly 4mx4m and have the furniture and BBQ but where it is can get a bit cool in the evenings as it is elevated and in a windy position. I'm thinking to get a screen and/or a gas heater so we can make more use of the space during the summer evenings. Was looking at one of these -
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tidyard-Retractable-Bilateral-Extendable-Anthracite/dp/B086XHQYHC/ref=psdc_4245830031_t3_B0874LBB8J?th=1

    Was also looking at gas heaters but would I also need a parasol or something to keep the heat in (BBQ is gas so would just flip the hose to the heater when needed).

    Appreciate any advice...

    Cheers,
    PB

    Looks a bit like a ready made sail and not sure how well it would work in a windy position. Would you consider getting large planters and filling them with a screening plant like bamboo?

    Apparently those propane-powered patio heaters can no longer be legally sold, due to EU regulations.
