My parents are going to put a summer house in their garden and want a
heater for it. What would be suitable? Some sort of paraffin heater?
Any web retailers sell something suitable?

If its wood I'd be tempted not to heat it with anyhting that could be
classed as an accelerant, electric would be the way to go :-)

Well yes I am a bit concerned about that! It'll be a long way from the
house so electic isn't an option I think.

Why?

Summer houses are intended for use... in the summer.

About 60' I guess. Perhpas I 'll suggest that they look at getting a
cable laid but I think it'll be pricey.

Yep to get someone to do it, needs to go 18" down in a trench covered
with slabs and laid in sand. (I think)

Avoid paraffin heaters. They chuck out too much moisture into the air.
There is also the fire risk.

My option would be a electric oil-filled radiator.

you could DIY the cable yourself, would be a handy idea to put
sockets/lights in there ( depending on how big theyre thinking of)

P.S. Having just seen that an electricity supply permanently is not an
option, I would run a plug-in extension lead, or make one, connected to
a RCB protected circuit. I think that this would avoid having to deal
with Part Pee but I could be wrong.

just use plastic pipe used for overflows or similar, one double socket in
the summer house and connect the other end to an rcd, you can make the
'trench' by inserting a spade full depth and waggling it back and forth, try
to go through lawn as much as possible and avoid beds..other than that you
could go the other way - height, as long as it's above 2m high it will be
OK, ******** to part p etc.

If its fitted with a RCD plug and plugged into a domestic socket then
its classed as an "extension lead" anyhoo, and exempt of the wonderfull
