mackay 3,676 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Save yourself a whole load of work, grief and eliminate safety issues and get an oil filled radiator. Cheap as chips to run, no cleaning, fire hazards and you flick a switch it's on and off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's ten foot by twelve foot mate, I've got one in a fourteen by ten on low continuously and it's fine. Ramp it up to full power for an hour then lower it to a medium heat. oil filled rad be no good for a 5m x 5m workshop/shed fella. They ok for small insulated spaces imo.

jok 3,471 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Had you thought about a common greenhouse heater. Admittedly they run on parafin which costs, but is an alternative. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
