I am considering the heated floors to....the upfront cost looks extremely cheap. Just some real fast math looks like around $500 for all the tubing, but then I guess I need a hot water heater or a always hot system or something. My real question is does this stuff help keep the room a little warmer also? Even if I can't afford the water heater etc I may put in the tubing that way its there and ready when I need it.

why would you put the Wirsbo pipe in if your not gunna hook it up now & utilize it ???? in your previous post you mentioned just a Temporary 2 year bldg . the pipe & connectors aint cheap like some 1" poly pipe u can get at Home DEP@T.. and keep in mind the GAS BILL for some reason the boilers luv to run wild for the radiant floor,pool,hot tub,& driveway sno melt system a 1k nicor gas bill for the month is'nt unusual
good luck on the build

I put radiant floor heat in mine and love it. It recovers quickly because of the mass of the floor, for occasional opening it's not an issue. It's not something you cut on and off though, once I turn it on for the winter it stays on. Tapped into the existing boiler in the house and created another zone. My old feet like it too.

Saw this today. I am not a big fan of the arch type buildings but this is a pretty decent asking price and would work in your budget.
