Can it be used under a covered patio?

That should not be too much of a problem. The top shroud should deflect direct heat way. Just dont put anything too close to it.

Yes - We have a patio with three fixed sides and a fabric awning covering the whole 16' x 20' area. With the deck placed heater on a 30" high circular table we still have 4' to 5' feet of open space between the metal heat reflector and the awning. I can place my hand within 3" of the reflector without any concern of getting a burn.

I have mine under my covered patio with a height of 12 feet. It works fine. Assure yourself that the patio is open to fresh air... (my walls are only six feet tall).

I personally, would not use a firepit underneath a covered patio. The fire, should be able to escape from the pit into the open air. I'm sure it's been done before, I just don't think it's safe. Good luck.

Absolutely! We have only a portion of our patio covered. These chairs stay outside 24/7 and one or two are always in the open area of the patio.

Mine is underneath a covered patio and occasionally I bring it out into the middle of the yard. I suggest you store it underneath an area out of the elements during the winter months if you want to keep it looking nice.

I don't think so, we have a patio cover so the rain hasn't got to it. But judging by the quality of it, I wouldn't say its weatherproof

I have used it in that way under my house and a deck. I believe this is fine as long as it is not exposed to sunlight.

i would use it on a covered patio - out of the direct elements - not too concerned regarding the metal framework; however, the wood shelfs probably would warp if left out in the rain. hopefully, my feelings regarding your question will help - i am not an expert on the constrjuction materials.

I don't see why not, but I would keep it under a patio with a cover should you get strong winds or hail in your area.

Absolutely. Mine is on a concrete slab under a covered porch. Just remember there is no floor so anything touching the floor would get wet if you had a moisture issue.

Not in the open, the panels are material. Might be ok on covered patio. It is very nice looking and quite sturdy.

No, it is not an outdoor unit! The cushioned areas will get waterlogged and there are bolt holes that would eventually fill up with rain water. If a porch was covered, it could work but not exposed directly.

Yes. I have one of this model outdoor under covered area for couple of years and it is working fine. As long as it does not in the open and could get wet you are fine.

I think it would be dangerous on a patio. It's really designed to be on the ground

Yes it can. However I would not use it on the bare ground with out a barrier as the cover is not water proof.

We use ours on a covered patio and are very happy with it. We've never tried the tower style so I don't know if that would be better

I purchased one awhile back, but for my garage, indoors. However, I am sure you could use it under and eve, but I am not sure I would have it exposed to the elements, ie rain / snow getting in it, you may be asking for bigger problems.
