HEATING: TO MAINTAIN A TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE OF 60 BETWEEN INSIDE a OUTSIDE 30,000 BTUlHR SINGLE COVERING 20,000 BTU/HR DOUBLE COVERING CONNECTION TO HOME HEATING SYSTEM IS MOST DESIRABLE. IF NOT POSSIBLE, USE GAS OR OIL HEATER VENTED TO THE OUTSIDE. ELECTRIC HEATERS ARE EASY TO INSTALL, CLEAN, BUT EXPENSIVE TO OPERATE WHEN USING OIL OR GAS, BE SURE TO PROVIDE A FRESH AIR SUPPLY DIRECTLY TO THE HEATER TO SUPPLY OXYGEN FOR COMBUSTION. VENTILATING: REOUIRE A TWO SPEED FAN RATED AT 1000 CFM. AN AUTOMATIC AIR INLET OF 2 SO. FT. IS REOUIRED. THE FAN CAN BE M9UNTED IN ONE GABLE EN0 AND AIR INLET IN THE OTHER. BOTH SHOULD BE CONTROLLED BY A THERMOSTAT FOR MORE INFORMATION S(E USDA BULLETIN NUMBER 357 BUIILDING HOBBY GREENHOUSES.
