It stands 87" tall and is rated for 41,000 BTU's. It uses a standard 20LB bottle of propane. It has wheels on the bottom so that you can tilt it slightly and move it around easily. Some of the other heaters I looked at didn't have the wheels.
George What is your ceiling height in the Lanai as to what I read if it's a normal 8' height you may have a fire hazard. Here's the warnings on that unit.•EXPLOSION- FIRE HAZARD • Keep solid combustibles, such as building materials, paper or cardboard, a safe distance away from the heater as recommended by the instructions. • Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the combustion chamber. • Never use the heater in spaces which do or may contain volatile or airborne combustibles, or products such as gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, dust particles or unknown chemicals. • During operation, this product can be a source of ignition. Keep heater area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, paint thinner, cleaning solvents and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not use heater in areas with high dust content. Minimum heater clearances from combustible materials: three (3) feet from the sides & two (2) feet from the top.
