Yeah I’ve been thinking about getting some low temp heating coils to prevent heavy ice buildup on my patio...I gotta get some visqueen for the windows too.
To melt snow and ice you need about 40-50 W/sqft. With something like a patio you would probably be best off with a radiant heater (electric or gas). That way you could mount it for the season and store it when not in use. Would also feel really nice to stand under.
