What brand is that tent thing? I was going to do a awning like yours but going to do a building I hope in the next 2 years, don't wanna spend money on something I am gonna tear down wish my barn was bigger!

This will be the first winter it sits outside normally I store at buddy's buildings... Saving money for engines this year.

I had one of the above for years.

But it's no substitute for this:

ofcourse it's no substitute for a pole barn, but for the money and ease to erect it's a great alternative.

What kind of heater? Whats your logic for that? Thinking of doing the same as long as it is safe.

I can't remember the name of the heater but it is one of the boat heaters that is spark proof. I didn't get it out this year because my engines are in my garage unfortunately. It comes on at temperatures under 45 degrees if I remember correctly.

My logic was always that just keeping some heat in there was good for hoses, belts, etc.... Don't know if it is worth a damn but I've never replaced a single belt or hose. Figured it was also just a "backup" in case I had a place where I didn't get good coolant penetration in a cooler or block....

EDIT - the brand is Xtreme heaters....

What you see a lot of in Fl. Buddy home built one for about half the price by getting his own corrugated and tubing than having a local exhaust shop bend his tubing.
