Good value

Giving 5 stars because overall good value for the relatively low price. Assembles relatively easily. It's designed to be permanently mounted in concrete or the ground, but we (like most users) prefer to have the flexibility of moving it -- and so we are making our own base (and tossing the cheap plastic base cover). The one critique is that the manual's operation instructions are not really clear, and there is no "off" marking on the unit itself. Uploaded is a picture of the off position, which might be helpful to some new users.

Puts out the heat!

Easy to assemble and puts out the heat. The only headache I had was finding the fittings to hook up to my quick disconnect hose. Had to go to a gas hose store for help, but I did manage to find them. I was able to attach it to my wrought iron patio table with some washers/bolts/nuts after taking out one section. Got the idea from another review. Works great! The hose I routed along my fence and attached by zip ties.

Easy Set-up; Worked GREAT right out of the box!

If you have natural gas available, this is the way to go. Friends have propane and a tank of gas does not last that long. I love how light it is; making it easy to move around to different locations on our patio. I found the heater easy to assemble,with good easy to follow instruction. My biggest issue is the small base. My situation does not allow me to anchor it to a solid surface. I decided to attach the base to a piece of 1/2" plywood (24" by 24") and purchased two small buckets with covers from Home Depot (paint dept). I then filled each bucket with sand (50 lbs total) and will use these as weights on the plywood when the need arises. I purchased a Mr Heater 12' Natural/Propane gas hose Assembly from Amazon which worked perfectly. Heating was as expected. Good to a radius of about 4' to 5' around the heater.

Great Natural Gas Patio Heater

We live in Tucson, AZ and have chilly nights in December through February. I have two propane patio heaters but got tired of refilling the propane tanks every week when we use the heater nightly. I bought the Fire Sense Natural Gas Stainless Patio Heater #61445 online from Gas Outdoor patio Heaters in Chino, CA. It arrived in less than a week. I had to build a weighted wood and concrete base with wheels that took about an hour. I then put the patio heater together in another hour. I had to buy and connect a 12 foot quick connect 3/8 inch gas line. I already had a natural gas quick connect for my bar-b-que so I just swap the patio heater onto the quick connect when we want to use this heater. really works great.

I have a 10' by 16' screened in patio in central TX. It can get cold, not up north cold, but with the wind at 15 - 20 mph it's cold. This heater has been perfect in allowing me to still enjoy a cigar on my back patio at anytime this winter! I would have given 5 stars except it comes with a small base, with bolts and stakes included, so that you can secure it so that the wind can't overturn it. I want to be able to move it around my patio so I had to have a 16" square metal base made to bolt to the bottom of the heater for a base. Also the ignition went out the 2nd time I lit it but it is so simple to light with my long nose bbq lighter I don't mind.

I'm very pleased with the quality and with the radius that is heated. The men who hooked up the gas connection were so impressed with it they took the information to order one for themselves.

seems to work

Only had it for a day, but seems to work well so far. Mounting base is very narrow, so needed to build a platform to attach it so that it's more stable

This patio heater has done the trick. The installation process was ok, a few confusing parts and additional tools necessary to get the job done, but the heater works and will be great to have as the weather gets cold.
