I have set up a 24' x 12' x 8' high temporary garage shelter around my framed boat. Does anyone have any ideas for the best way to heat the area so I can place epoxy during the winter months?

thanks, Gregg from Billerica, MA

IR heaters hung from the rafters will warm up the hull enough for the epoxy to cure but it doesn't warm up the air in the shelter.
I've used diesel forced air heaters to warm up big tents and stuff, but the ones I've used would keep sanding dust from settling in a space that size. There are smaller units than the ones shown in that link.
Wood stoves made from 45 gallon drums are pretty popular for cabin tents. There are plans online or you can buy them already made.
