I want to use this a a softball game for a few of us to stay warm? We sit in chairs right behind the fence, so how close can you put the heater?

I would not use this heater closer than 2 to 3 ft. from any flammable material suchas pant legs sweatshirts etc.

I keep it about two feet in front of me until I get hot. It feels just like sitting in front of a fire.

I use my heater in my enclosed golf cart so it is sitting pretty close to the both the driver and passenger. The heater has 3 temperature settings and keeps us plent warm even on the lowest setting in the enclosed golf cart.

We used ours for the first time last week. Although it isn't as good as the normal heavy duty cart cover it did keep the wind and rain off of us. I would really be worried about using a heater because this is flimsy material and it will fly around, could easily catch fire I would think.

No. The material is not safe to have heat too close to it. It would melt and or catch fire. The teepee tent is otherwise awesome. Easy set-up and roomy inside. We had 5 kids in sleeping bags on the floor and the adults in a single air mattress as well as a double air mattress and we had room for more.

Hello, I have one of these that I use indoors to keep my pet hedgehog's cage warm. They are not very powerful for an outdoor or large space, but a few of them would do the Job. I keep a ~3x2x2 ft cage at 70 F when the room is 64 F. Like I said, it works best in a closed area or at a close distance. As far as quality, I've been very happy with it. It's lasted 2 years with no problems and it's nice that it gives off no light.

We have been out around ours at 50 degrees and were very comfortable. Not sure if you can be out in much colder weather. The fire is not that large so the heat does not radiate very far. It is more for the look than the warmth I believe.

Hi @nerenttt, You need to maintain a minimum distance of 1 feet from the heater

I put it on my covered deck under the table hoping to keep me warm when I wanted to sit out there. Just doesn't put off enough heat to keep me warm in cold weather say in the 30's. I'm sure if you located it in a somewhat closed area it would be great for the cats.

I would hate to offer you a response. I used this heater in a non heated building and it kept me warm as long as I was in close proximity. You may be better served if you asked the manufacturer.

Depends on how near and exactly where I would say. The heat that comes out isn't like a heat gun but it is warm/hot. I wouldn't want to put it so it blows onto the TV but within a foot or so I would think is okay but you should follow the manufacturers guidlelines They do have recommendations as to distance from combustibles like drapes, electrical cords etc which is 3 feet. Here's a link to the user manual: http://www.sylvane.com/media/documents/products/heat-storm-deluxe-wall-heater-owners-manual.pdf

This is a great question because it inquires about information that is only available from the Instruction Leaflet that is enclosed with the purchased unit. Your answer can be found in the first section of my booklet which says, "Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear." Although a safe distance from the sides or rear isn't specifically indicated, safety conscious consumers should probably follow the front unit guidance of 3 feet for the back, too. This unit has a lot of safety features, but your best safety feature is common sense. I highly recommend this product. I position mine in a corner - three feet out - on the rotating feature and the whole 10 x 10 room is comfortably heated. And yes, it comes with a remote. Stay warm and safe!

The cover is fine in the wind. You do need to secure the heater with the cover to something that will prevent it from falling over. I use my fence poll and a single string. Work well for me.

I'm just guessing, but the unit does give off heat over a long period of time. I think it would just be too hot to have under a plug. The plug and cord would be unsafe there.

I use it under a covered patio with about 6-8 inches of clearance and have had no issues. The heat seems to be very effectively distributed to the sides.

I haven't tried as yet - it just isn't warm enough here yet to spend much time outside. But let me just mention, the chair is fine short term. It only gets uncomfortable for me if I spend an hour or so sitting and reading. Then I find I start shifting around a lot to get comfortable, but can't.

I just got mine and either mine has a defect, or the information on here is incorrect. I use it to take the edge off of the cold house in the morning. I have it sitting on laminate wood flooring. After about 1 hour on high the floor in front of the heater is very hot to the touch. About as hot as you want to touch with your bare hand. If this was sitting on a canvas, nylon or poly tarp floor of a tent, I would be concerned. It does not get hot directly under the unit, but a foot or two in front of it the floor gets very hot.

Hi Mary, I have a porch that is enclosed which is 24' x 6'. Insulation is not the best out there, and we heat it on the lowest setting. Temps this winter have been down in the teens and the lowest setting works well. We really like this heater.
