If you plan on using your greenhouse on a year round basis,
supplemental heat is necessary to keep the temperature above
freezing. The heating requirements for your Hideaway Greenhouse depend
on the target temperature, the severity of your local winter,
and the size of your Greenhouse. For help in choosing the
right size heater for your greenhouse try our handy BTU calculator.
Generally a 5,000 BTU electric heater will provide sufficient
heat to avoid plant loss except during power outages (a backup
propane heater can provide protection against power failure).
A natural gas or propane heater uses less expensive fuel in
some geographic regions.
