Patio Heater Reflector Shield, Outdoor Heater Reflector Shield as Patio Heater Replacement Part with Support Rod for Extra Heat Reflecting Power, Enegy Saving and Directional Heating, Silver

If you bought your patio/table top heater, this is a must have. I bought both before winter, kept me warm outside but I was huddled extremely close to the heater. The shield redirects the heat beautifully.Assembly was pretty easy. I had my son help me, to get him away from the video games. We used a power drill to speed things up, which is optional. You could, if you wanted to, tightening everything by hand. There are TWO versions of this heat shield. I believe this one I'm reviewing has an extra arm/brace (for the Large Patio Heater) to ensure sturdiness. I'm just guessing which one it is based on the picture. If it is the one with the brace, we haven't put that one together yet. Finally putting the big heater's heat shield up. It's planned for this weekend, along with the reflective cover to keep it from getting weathered.All in all: is a great buy. It redirects your heat and it makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE. $40+/- to stay, not only warm, but toasty, since you bought this shield. Seriously though, I couldn't believe how much of a difference this thing makes - and for a piece of metal. You won't regret this purchase, for sure.Install: Basing it off of the SMALL Tabletop Heater - installation was fairly easy! I'll update once I get the Large Heater Shield installed.Heat Output: These shields are amazing and I don't recommend NOT getting one with the purchase of your heater.Safety Features: not sure what Safety features this thing has. I mean, it's a shield that is metal and it gets hot and you're not suppose to touch it.

It not only works great it holds up well to my windy patio

It works well. Keeps the heat from escaping and more localized to the front. The bottom support rod base is too short and doesn't match the holes on this patio heater from Home Depot. Seems to hold up well for now as this shield isn't that heavy. I tightened the bolt pretty tight to keep it from slipping down.

When using the heater for only two people, the heat shield is a great idea. Saves on propane and directs all hear it the area we want it. Very good quality and has a brace to protect bending the top of the heater when it's windy. The bracelet is a must but does make it more time consuming if you want to take off the shield often.

Much easier to install than I was anticipating, just 2 screws and 3 clamps.
