Well last night was a scary 32 degrees. So here�s what I did and it worked out much better than I expected.
I used 20� 2x4�s duck ?? taped to upside down tposts so the board could lay on the flat piece . Either surrounded heaters with 4 driveway markers or tposts so it wouldn�t catch remay or tarps on fire. Then landscaped staked covering air tight to ground making sure it wasn�t touching the canopy anywhere. That little heater on low (750watt) kept it around 55 degrees when it was 32F outside, (which surprised me because that is a 20�x12� area that was covered.) Soil is still 75 degrees from heating cables. The biggest lesson than I learned from this is if the hut is just barely above the canopy even a small heater can maintain way more heat inside the hut, even if the area is quite large. I will be rethinking my hoop house design for next season.
