Electric heater in green house

[jimbo_25]

A friend of mine wants a heater in a green house to stop it freezing in the winter. I'm thinking of something like a tubular heater but unsure whether it will prevent this. i am unsure of the size of the greenhouse goin to look at it tomorrow.

Sorry whats the question

I think he is asking is it alright to put one in the greenhouse.

I would be very wary my self as someone comes along with a hosepipe and starts spraying water here, there and everywhere acciedent waiting to happen.

here are some outdoor heaters Burda TERM 2000 4kW IP65 Waterproof Heater or even try these greenhouse heaters Greenhouse Heaters - Gas and Electric Greenhouse Heaters
As there are designed for the job you described these last ones should do you fine

Would make sure that it heater was an approved one, with at least an IP rating of IP65 min. All outside circuits should of course be on a RCD type breaker for safety too.

Don't forget you'll need to bond any metal staging & frame work.
