How Many Outdoor Heaters Do I Need?
The number of outdoor heaters required for your event depends on the size of your venue, whether the space is fully enclosed or open to the elements, the outside temperature and where guests will be spending most of their time.
Rather than heating every square metre, it’s generally more effective to position heaters around key gathering areas such as lounge settings, cocktail tables, bar areas and marquee entrances.
| Event Size | Suggested Starting Point* | Best Placement |
|---|---|---|
Up to 30 guests |
1–2 heaters |
Lounge area or bar |
30–60 guests |
2–4 heaters |
Lounge areas, bar and marquee entrance |
60–100 guests |
4–6 heaters |
Multiple gathering zones throughout the venue |
100–150 guests |
6–8 heaters |
Lounge areas, bars, entrances and larger open spaces |
*These are general planning guidelines only. The exact number of heaters required will vary depending on factors including:
- Marquee size and whether walls are installed
- Whether the event is indoors, under cover or fully outdoors
- Ceiling height and ventilation
- Wind exposure and outside temperature
- Guest layout and furniture placement
- Duration of the event
