Can this be used in an outdoor greenhouse?

Hi, yes it can. I bought one last year and had a successful 24'x8' wide greenhouse overwintering tropicals. Just started it again tonight.

I think it could be without any problem, the hot air stream is substantial - just keeping it pointed away from any glass or plastic should be enough. Good luck!

We have had ours up for nearly a year. It weathers very well winter and summer. Only concern for us is if we have strong winds and a branch falls, it slices the plastic pretty easily. We put a layer of clear hard plastic roofing material on the top of the greenhouse to give it greater strength and covered it with the plastic. The plastic itself wears well for 3 to 4 years. Of course, depending on your weather where you are...

I doubt that it is rated for outdoor use. Perhaps in a weather-protected enclosure you could.

Yes I use it in a greenhouse 24/7 during the winter months October through April. It has safeguards. It is able to be set to a temp so that only the pilot remains on once it gets to the set temp unlike others which run constantly.

Yes you could do that. If your deck gets much wind exposure, you will need to put some heavy bricks or concrete blocks on the flaps that go around the bottom of the greenhouse. This is how I kept mine from blowing away or over onto it's side. The big question is: "Will you get enough light on a covered deck?"

It can be, but I would run it under eaves or somewhere protected from direct sunlight and weather. They are not really meant for outdoor use, but I run them when I have to.

Since you're that close to your house, an electric heater should work. My greenhouse is a long way from my home, so I use a propane heater. I can't find it now on the internet, but it attached to a regular propane tank you would use for you grill. I had to have a window open on the greenhouse to keep it burning all night. Otherwise, it runs out of oxygen.

Mine was used to cover a greenhouse. It lasted about 4 months. If you are using it for this application I do not recommend

No. I believe it can only be used outside. I've only used it outside and it works great.

yes it can be use outdoor. But keep in mind its rust resistance and not rust prove. So, eventually after years of usage it will rust.

It should. It is tough and made it through freezing rain, sleet and snow. I have used plastic on my greenhouse for over 15 years and this is as good as any I have used. Additionally it is the least opaque I have ever seen for greenhouses.

I think it could be used outdoors. It stands up to moisture fine. But it is a foam, and foams break down eventually. Sunlight would speed up that process.

No. It won't grow grass in a greenhouse. This is a telemarketing scam. It also is not the size and weight of it's description. Put down a good red fescue or even a rye grass, but save your time and money with Grassology.

The plastic is opaque and will let sunlight come through, but I don't know about using it for a greenhouse. We buy it annually to protect the carpet from paint and glue spills in the Vacation Bible School craft rooms. Apologies for not being much help.

My greenhouse is in constant sun which makes it get extremely hot. I would venture to guess, yes, it would be able to stand a grow light.

You can use it however you want. I have the 75 peat pot green house this year. I've got 2 of them on my shelving unit with a heat mat and grow lights for my tomatoes and peppers. It's working great!

Hi Robert - I use this ventless LP heater in a greenhouse of 42' x 21' [882 Sq Ft] - 30,000 BTU along with another 30,000 BTU LP Heater of another manufacturer. Even with outside temps hovering at 11 degrees F, the temperature held at 55 degrees F - Greenhouse covering is 6mil plastic. I am pleased with the results...just not happy with the huge leap in prices for LP gas. Good luck - Van
