When evening falls: warmth, fire, and light for outdoor celebrations
The best part of an outdoor celebration often only begins when the sun goes down. That is exactly when it gets cool, and without warmth and light, guests move indoors. With the right equipment, the group stays outside, and the evening becomes the highlight. Here are some options.
Radiant heaters: Warmth where the guests are sitting
Radiant heaters provide targeted warmth to seats at the table or in the lounge area. Our ExtremeLine radiant heaters are available for permanent installation, such as under a slat roof or canopy, and as the free-standing HeatTower radiant heater for open areas.
Fire as a focal point
An open fire attracts guests like nothing else. The fire baskets and fire bowls from höfats bring a real wood fire to your patio or lawn. If you also want to grill, opt for an OFYR fire plate: the fire burns in the center, and the plate all around allows you to grill right with your guests.
Smokeless table and floor fires
For tables, paths, and entrances, the SPIN fires from höfats are ideal. They run on liquid bioethanol, burn without smoke or flying sparks, and require no power connection. The 900 models sit on the table, the 1500 floor fires sit on the ground, and the hanging fire hangs over the table or under a pergola. Always place the fires on a stable, non-flammable surface and keep them at a distance from decorations and plants.
Light for tables and paths
Lanterns create warm light without glare. The lanterns from Weishäupl look great on tables, along paths, or in the lounge, and they also look stylish during the day.
How to plan the evening
- Think about where the guests will sit after eating: at the table, in the lounge, or by the fire.
- Combine targeted warmth with fire as a meeting point and lighting for paths.
- Plan for electricity for radiant heaters and provide enough space for open fires right from the start.
