Hey everyone, new guy on the block.
Setting up my hobby shop and decided on using a 20' shipping container to do it in. Plenty of room for my small machines and very secure (think it would take nothing short of a torch to break in with the lock I got on it) given the location near the road away from the house where I decided to put it. Also wanted to stay away from tax burden of a permanent structure and considering moving so I can pick it up and take it with me.
Anyway, insulating the ceiling and walls (2X4 frame with R-11 fiberglass and 3/4" plywood), but not the floor. Figure 160 sq ft with 8' ceiling (actually small with space lost to framing), what size, brand(s), & voltage electric heater would you recommend ???
Wanting thermostat control with forced air as well.
So any advice on voltage (110/220), BTU output, etc would be appriciated.
