    I see what you did there...10 x 10 spaces, with building overhand and one wall of building.

    In my experience it’s based on the footprint the infrared heater can cover.

    Great question!
    The only one that I have much experience with is this type. https://www.h-mac.com/product-catalogs/detroit-radiant/Re-Verber-Ray-HL3-Installers-Guide.pdf
    If you install them at the lowest recommended height the work pretty well.
    The key to all outdoor radiant products is screening the wind. You can install all the heat you want but unless you can block the wind, folks will still be cold.
