Help heating a 6' x 2' wooden polycarb greenhouse.
« on: March 28, 2012, 14:30 »

Hello
This is my first post and I hope someone can help me.

Bought a mini 6’ x 2’ full height greenhouse to go on a party wall but the neighbour objected. :mad:

So it has had to go on the garden fence without a back!
With no extra money this year to put a polycarbonate back on, I had to build a wooden back at the top of the fence and line the rest with large polyethene sacks full of garden fleece to keep the west winds from blowing through the gaps in the fence. In this spot it is facing east and gets the early morning sun but not the midday heat only the late afternoon sun.

All seam well and now I need to heat it and I have no electric so am looking at paraffin heaters.
Can anyone tell me what type I should get for this size greenhouse to keep seedings germinating?

I saw a new Eltex single burner and wondered if that might do the job as smaller ones seam only to keep this size of greenhouse frost free.

 :unsure:

Thanks
