Hello -

Here is a picture of a small greenhouse I want to buy for the side of our house. How would I heat it without burning it down? It will not get a lot of sun in the winter.

Thanks, Tracey

Hmmm....maybe an electric baseboard-type heater? Or maybe a brooder light in the bottom area?

Just how cold is Dallas Texas?

That looks to be a pretty small area to heat. I bet a heat cable in the bottom shelf in a shallow box of sand would heat it enought to maintain plants.

Anyway to circulate air from the houseto the gh and back using two inch pvc pipe and a small electric fan like is used in electronics. Ernie
