A parasol heater 100 has a housing 105 with a fuel connection adapted to be coupled to a gas fuel supply which may comprise either a gas bottle supply or a fuel line coupled to a mains gas supply. The heater includes a pole 110 extending upwardly from the housing and adapted to support a gas burner arrangement 115, the burner arrangement being provided below a parasol 120 adapted to deflect heat generated by the burner downwardly about the pole, the parasol being supported at its centre by the heater and at its circumference by two or more upstanding support poles 135. The parasol may be formed in multiple sections 120a, 120b. Preferably, the support poles are configured to be secured to the ground, thereby positively securing the parasol heater to its location. The heater may additionally include an ash-tray 150, a table 145 and one or more lights 125 fuelled from the same gas supply as the burner and located below the burner on the pole. Preferably, the heater includes a sensing element configured to detect the presence of a person in the environment and, as a consequence, turn the heater on. |
