Title: Looking for a heater
Post by: Steve_Richardson on December 18, 2009, 06:19:51 pm
Well all my stuff was pretty much frozen before I even started today....because I forgot to put it all in the shed overnight as I use a trailer system.

I have a small 2 bar outdoor shed heater thing but it's pretty useless, not enough heat going from where it was hung on the shed door to the equipment and water about 1 1/2 feet away!!

Any suggestions on a not too expensive heater (I think fan will be better to move the hot air aound)? Also will need to hang it on the shed door or wall as floor space is all taken up with my stuff!

Roll on the house move and a bigger shed :-)

I had one of Peter Fogwills trailers to start with which was very open to the elements.

Sadly one of the disadvantages of using a trailer is freezing  weather.  Although we could disconnect the pump and blow the water out of the delivery hose, the hose that supplies the pump always froze solid. Even pouring kettles of boiling water over it was a waste of time.

This is one of the reasons why we now have a van mount each, with an old modified 750w wall heater thermostatically controlled to keep the vans frost free in weather such as we are experiencing now.
