Heating a block shed.

    I have a combined workshop/occasional hay/sick livestock shed, 25x10ft. It isn't insulated but that will have to wait a few mthe. . In the meantime, any suggestions for a low energy safe heater? My sandpaper is getting a bit damp and the hay is carrying more moisture than ideal.

    This may be as much about ventilation as anything else.

    Well ventilated, probably too much so. Hay is my biggest concern.

    Your best bet is to take your heating budget, convert it to 5 euro notes, make a little pile in the middle of the uninsulated block shed, and put a match to it.

    Wouldn't be putting any kind of heat source in a shed that also has hay in it!!

    Unless radiators with hot water running in them. :D

    I think if you get the ventilation right it will sort much of your problem.

    If it were me that’s where I would spend my money. Hay should store perfectly in an appropriate unheated shed.

    Why not stick up a photo and we can see better what your working with.

    I can’t help you re dampness in the shed but if you want dry sandpaper- Why not get a good large lunch box with a good rubber seal and put some of those silica sachets you find in shoe boxes.

    The lunch box would be only €20 for A4 size.
    I’ve this done before for hoof peering knives etc and it works a treat.
