Just checked the wiki page for that town. Only 741 punters live there. You should visit them.

Ohhhh, you meant painters. She's a teacher, writer and a few other things.
It would be fun to go visit her. But I am not hauling the kids with me when I finally do!

A punter is an individual, in colloquial terms a punter is a mate, a buyer of service or items. Where i come from it just means a person or individual.
I.e that punter is not getting served because they are too pished.
Or
That punter is taking their life in their hands by suggesting England make good whisky.

I had a similar situation. I built a teepee over my plants with tarps and put a heat lamp and they were fine. I also spread straw on the ground.

Just an outdoor grower in non cooperative fall climate. The water is right. Use any metal containers you have access to. Fill with boiling water in front of the propane heater. Will moderate an enclosure to safe levels most often in the mid 20s. If sincere about adding some heat.? Look into renting concrete curing pads or borrowing them from contractor friends. Heat the soil and air. Safe and worry free. Just a couple tricks I have used. I employ kerosene heaters and oil filled radiators now. Too much clearance for band aids now. Hope you make it to your goal. Best wishes.

Thanks! I’m feeling pretty confident. I’m about to go buy some more PVC to make it stronger, and then I’m going to tape up the seams really well. I think for my size area I’ll just have to get a 30 gallon tote and drain my water heater into it, and I think that will work okay. The area is only 6x7 feet and the propane heater isn’t very big. I work for a general contractor but we don’t do much concrete so I’ll skip the blankets. A nice forced air kerosene heater would be totally awesome, but also totally out of my budget.

You know I can’t drop 200 bucks on this today, but it’s definitely something to consider for next year. This isn’t a bad price. It looks like I could run flexible ducting off it into whatever nicer iteration of this I build next year. I’m planning on doing some phenos that take 11-12 weeks indoors next year and this was not a difficult project. I’ll probably just end up improving it over the winter so I can maybe keep my dormant cacti in there after the cannabis comes down.

Kerosene/diesel heaters usually put off a good bit of bad smell. I would stick to propane.

And there's a little soot every time they start up.

The ones I’ve used definitely exhaust a lot of gross stuff. The forced air would have to be ducted inside the cold frame and the heater would have to be run outside. I’m interested to see how the buddy heater and 30 gallon tote full of hot water does. I’ve got a full 30lb bottle of propane ready to go and I’m picking up another one after work tomorrow. It’s going to drop below freezing around 5pm and that’s when I’m firing up the heater.
