I understand there are some seats with heaters inside. These tend to be the
ones that hang from a frame and look a bit like an egg with a bit cut out
where one sits. Not sure how efficient that idea is, but I guess it keeps
your back and bum warm!

We have an outdoor area at the rear of the house which is a wooden deck
with a plastic sloping roof to keep (some of) the rain off.
I say "some of" because the rain is blowing in and almost reaching the
bifolds.

The deck/roof is roughly 2.3 metres deep and 2.5 metres high.

I was contemplating adding some heating to allow us to sit out on cold
clear days so I am looking for advice.

My advice would be 'don't' weg ... put a coat on as it's 'outdoors'
and you shouldn't be wasting energy trying to heat anything out there?

I mean, it's not like you *have* to go out there, unlike trying to do
some work in a cold workshop and *needing* some heat to be able to
function properly?

We were having a meal in a pub garden a while back and it was funny
watching the smokers who had come out for a fix, pressing the time
delay switches on the IR heaters under the big umbrellas but having to
do so several times before getting fed up and going back in again. ;-)
