Autumn is officially in full swing. Crunchy, golden-toned leaves, pumpkin spiced lattes and crackling fires abound, there's something quite magical about this time of the year. But Autumn also means colder temperatures and rosier cheeks, which is fine, unless you're planning an occasion that requires spending a significant time outdoors (think parties or barbecues). 

You don't need to freeze, though, and neither do your guests: thanks to Rentuu.com, you can now rent a patio heater online. 

If you've never used one before, here's the low down on how it works: the burner on top of the post burns liquefied petroleum gas, propane or butanes, which in turn generates thermal radiation. The thermal radiation is the bit that'll keep you and your friends nice and snug. But, depending on the surface area that needs to be kept warm, you may require a couple of heaters for optimum results.

And if you're already hiring a patio, why not also consider renting chairs for the occasion, too? Eames-style chairs make the perfect statement and add a touch of elegance to any event. 

Back to how awesome the concept of renting stuff is: the big perk of Rentuu.com is that it's super quick and easy: you can choose your delivery slot and your patio heater is all yours for however long you need it. 

While expensive to purchase individually, and very difficult to store, patio heaters make the perfect candidate for short-term hire. Not only is this highly convenient for both your wallet and your storage space, but it is also the way forward in terms of eco-friendliness. Overconsumption is one of the leading causes of our planet's deterioration, so why not be one step ahead in changing our ways by hiring instead of buying?
