So I will be building my wintering shelter this coming week and it will be on the north side of my yard tucked away within two cinder block walls and my house itself. I will be framing out the walls using 2x4's and insulating the stud cavities with blue Dow board to keep temps consistent. That being said, I will also be using a programmable thermostat outlet which I will be plugging a small space heather into and I am wondering what you guys think is the best temp to set it at without having to mulch. I am thinking 35F which would allow the temp to drop to 29-30F before triggering the thermostat. The shelter will be 12' long, 4.5' wide, 8' tall in the front angling down to 7' in the rear to allow water to fall off into a catch.
I'm sure most everyone here knows what tree's I have because I've posted several pics but here is a list of the tree's that will be in there anyway
4 Japanese Maples
2 Elms
1 Hackberry
1 Ume/Plum
2 Junipers
1 JBP
1 Boxwood
1 Ponderosa
JBP, Junipers, and Ponderosa won't go in there until temps drop into the teens.
