Make Sure Your Porch Is Winter Ready With These At-Home Outdoor Heaters

Southerners have always been familiar with the joy that comes from a sunny Saturday spent on the porch. Even so, we've never been more acquainted with our outdoor spaces than we have this year. Sheltering in place has given new meaning to our gardens, backyards, and screened-in porches. They're not only our yards; they've become our escape. They've given us a place beyond our own four walls to relax, exercise, and even on a rare, small-group occasion, entertain in the outdoors.

The last thing we want as at-home precautions drag on is a change in weather to limit our time outside. Luckily, just because the trees become bare doesn't mean you have to back away from the outdoor oasis you created this summer. All you really need is a source of heat.

Enter the patio heater. You may have seen then at restaurants, events, and bars in the past, but it's time to bring this outdoor lifesaver home. Here are some of the top-rated, affordable outdoor heating options on Amazon right now.
