    Look to improving ventilation as well as heating. If summerhouse is to be left unused for periods of time.
    A solar powered extractor fan could be worthwhile, a well ventilated room will feel drier and be easier to heat up from cold.
    Play with the expectation of winning not the fear of failure.    S.Clarke

    Thanks, that sounds like an interesting idea. I think and hope we would use it fairly often though the hassle and expense we will end up going to!

    A workmate has one and seems pretty happy with it.  I'm considering some for next winter because they are relatively low power (can be covered by solar panels), and are instant heat.

    Interesting, I hadn't thought of covering the power in that way, something to look into perhaps (on the long list!)
