I have heard stories that those radiant tube heaters don't always live long in an auto bay. And they can absolutely cook stuff that is close to them, so they need space.

That is what wer have been told.

I'm in the south and freezing can be a pain when you're not set up for it. On my 360 the low pressure stuff would freeze up when it dropped to mid 20's for several hours and my water wizards would basically freeze up at 30. I did tarps for a couple years with a natural gas torpedo heater set to lowest temp possible. I hated tarps about as much as anything. I had hooks mounted to the walls and cables across the top to try and keep them in place and they just end up tearing.

I finally ordered commercial roll up doors online and picked up from the factory for around $1000 each and put them up myself. I keep a flexible hose on the torpedo heater with a quick connect fitting. I plumbed a gas line to the wall of the automatic inside the equipment room and drilled out a hole in the wall and mounted a toilet flange through the wall so I can cap the hole off. Just put the flex hose and cord through the wall and connect them, roll doors down and call it a day. Much better than messing with tarps for hours at a time. My 360 is in another town and if I don't have someone to go and close doors, since I can't seem to sleep, I just login a couple times a night and run low pressure functions on hot water.

Thanks for the response. You have answered our major concern. A tarp was about where we going. However, a commercial roll up door soumd like the solution. Would you mind letting us know the name of the manufacturer of the doors you purchased. Really, appraciate your help.
