What Everybody Ought To Know -- About How Tiki Torches Decorate And Illuminate The Backyard!
| Don’t let darkness descend on your back yard or patio without the stylish illumination provided by tiki torches. Tiki torches convey an exotic island atmosphere that is universally inviting. Often people think of tiki torches in the conventional bamboo pole sense. While these work fine for general use, bamboo tiki torches tend to deteriorate with frequent use and exposure to the elements. Thankfully you have a myriad of contemporary tiki torch alternatives to consider.

| For many metal tiki torches have become a far better choice. Copper tiki torches are a notable hit. Metal tiki torches have a modern look and are far longer lasting than their bamboo ancestors. With metal tiki torches you have several fuel alternatives too – either oil, propane, or electric. At night metal tiki torches are more attractive when lit – especially those with a shiny finish. |

Tiki torches made of glass, porcelan, or ceramics are more delicate. They represent the prettier tiki torches and provide a daintier contribution to your outdoor decorative theme. Ironically these types of tiki torches are actually more resistant to moisture despite their delicate appearance, which makes them ideal for outdoors. |

You’ll need to decide up front which type of tiki torches you’re most interested in; gas, oil, or electric. The Citronilla oil burning tiki torches are the most ideal in high insect areas. Not only do Citronilla oil burning tiki torhces repel mosquitos – they smell good too. When storing your tiki torches make a point to separately store the oil which will protect and preserve them for the next season. |
| In contrast, propane tiki torches offer your better control over the intensity of the flame. This allows you to easily turn it up or down to suite the occasion, which is a nice feature. Propane tiki torches also work very well in windier spots than oil burning models. |

| Electric tiki torches are nearly all solar powered. They’re ideal for around children as they’re much safer than any flame types. Electric tiki torches can be left outdoors for extended periods. They’re an exceptional safe and easy way to set up a cozy tropical theme party whenever the mood strikes you. |
