Title: Automatic shed heating
Post by: trippyboy on November 25, 2016, 07:40:42 pm

Is there anything available that will kick off  when it senses temperature has dropped to below zero.
Im not talking about a thermastically controlled emersion heater for a tank, but rather somethings that heats the whole shed?

greenhouse type tube heater may do it for you, depends how big your shed is

A chepo convector heater with frost protect should do the trick

Those tube heaters are not very good

I've tried one and had stuff still freeze.

Something like this with a frost setting would be a better idea: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Lloytron-2000W-F2003-WH-1-2-KW-Thermostatic-Fan-Heater-Frost-Watch-Protection-/281813323484?hash=item419d620edc:g:zc4AAOSw4HVWCvyp
