Marquee heaters offer a safe, effective solution to heating marquees, large gazebos and outdoor events. Keep guests warm and comfortable long into the night with a reliable marquee heater.




Heating For Marquees, Events Or Large Spaces
At National Heater Shops, our wide selection of marquee heaters are suitable for well-ventilated events or large spaces. Marquee heaters provide a temporary, powerful heat that is essential when maintaining an event’s temperature. As evenings close in and temperatures drop, it’s important to keep guests comfortable.
Reputable Marquee Heaters For Safe, Effective Warmth
Heating a marquee requires a reliable heating unit. We offer a range of different types of space heaters, including indirect heaters, direct heaters and infrared heaters. These heaters are produced by trustworthy brands such as Master, Arcotherm, Airrex and Broughton amongst others.
Direct Heaters
Direct heaters are designed for well ventilated spaces or semi-open structures. These heaters help to provide immediate and powerful warmth for a cost-effective price. Direct heaters should only be used in areas that are extremely well ventilated as they produce fumes and moisture.
Indirect Heaters
Indirect (oil-fired) heaters are a popular choice for marquee heating as they can be used to heat areas of different sizes and layouts. Unlike direct heaters, indirect heaters sit on the outside of the marquee and duct clean, dry air inside.
Infrared Heaters
Infrared heaters warm objects using electromagnetic energy. Unlike other types of heater, infrared units do not warm the air itself and instead warm objects, meaning that they can be used in areas that could potentially be windy and still be effective. As a result, they are best used for spot heating and multiple units may be required to heat larger areas. You can use our radiant heat calculator to figure out how powerful an infrared heater should be to warm the intended space.
