Hi daileg, personally speaking, i don't like it to drop below 5 Celsius at night and i like it  be no higher than 35 Celsius during the day, which is why it's worthwhile investing in an automatic vent opener for the window and or a fan that'll circulate the air on a warm day, plus you could always leave the door open?

thanks for the input how much does an automatic vent cost as my greenhouse is of the polycarbonate type from a catolouge company an absolut night mare to put together took two of us 16 hours will never do another one anyhow i oly have one window made of perspex all the walls ar from perspex might be a bit hard to install

Just a thought - but why do you want to heat your greenhouse in April?

Or are you looking to next year? Growing what?

yes was looking into the future growing spell i noticed after putting it all together it wasnt air tight there are gaps around the door i have a window wich slides up and down i was wondering what and if it was all that needed to have a heater i surpose that depends on what i was going to use it for through the cold spell
