Outdoor Heater Rentals in Columbus — FAQ
Do I need a permit for an outdoor heater in a Columbus park?
Yes, for most public parks like Schiller Park or Goodale Park, you'll need to check with the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department for specific permit requirements for temporary equipment.
What surfaces can your heaters be placed on?
Our heaters require a flat, stable surface such as concrete, pavement, or a sturdy deck. We cannot safely place them on sloped or uneven grassy areas.
Can I use your heaters under a tent?
For safety, outdoor heaters can only be used under certain types of tents with adequate ventilation and clearance. Please inform us if you plan to use a tent so we can advise on safe placement and suitable heater types.
How many heaters do I need?
Plan one mushroom heater per 100–150 sq ft. A 20×40 tent typically needs 5–7 patio heaters or 1–2 forced-air units.
Is propane included?
Most operators include a full propane tank per heater. Extended events may need a refill or second tank.
Can heaters be used inside a tent?
Mushroom and tower patio heaters require proper clearance. Indoor-rated forced-air units are recommended for fully-enclosed tents.
