Do you think the heat function would work outside in a 10x10 tent if vented properly?

I believe so, it says in the manual to what degrees it actually works within and I believe unless it's under 20 degrees Fahrenheit it should be fine. Might want to double check online to find the actual manual to confirm however.

It's a heavy duty, reinforced plastic tent with no real insulation properties. For susceptible plants, I would add supplementary heat.

this unit will provide heat but not enough to heat an outdoor area of that size. With the blinds closed it will be warm but not by much.

Yes, it will fit a 10x10 tent. I used it on a tent by another manufacturer, and it was slightly too tight running around the outside, but worked just fine when run on the inside of the tent legs. It attaches to the tent by Velcro straps that wrap around the tent frame.

We have used it in The Maze, in Canyonland National Park in July and it was over 100 degrees. Because both sides have a door and a large window the size of the door, the air circulated. The roof is white, which helps too. So for us, we knew it would be hot but the tent did not seem to make it hotter.

I have 2 of these fans in a 4x4 tent with a 600watt light. One is to exhaust heat the other brings in fresh air. Its pretty windy in there moves some serious air the 4" fan I had prior worked during the winter but not during summer heat. This actually allows enough air flow to keep the tents temperature around 70 with cool air coming in

We have ours in a 12x15bedroom and it heats up within 10 min or less based in that you should be able to tell.

Works great outdoors, indoors would make sure vented properly. We use propane and i would not use propane inside, too dangerous

I would say no. Just used this model in a 14x10 tent with a lower ceiling in low 30's. It didn't do the job. I know I have fabric walls vs solid walls, but for a lil more money, you can buy the next step up model at 4000 to 9000 BTU's. I pulled this one out and it worked great in the tent. :)

I use this indoors so I don't have any experience with it outdoors! I would think the elements outside might break it down over time! It's pretty enclosed on the inside so I would think this would get hot on the inside with only airflow through it's one entrance/exit doorway. But with a little alterations like cutting out a window on each side & in the back that would the give u the airflow your looking for. If you know someone that is good with power tools to make the window cutout it would be an easy fix.

Yes, it would be but they will need to be educated on how it works as well as not placing it too close to objects or the tent wall. The heater is quite straight forward with only on/off and no need to adjust once it is lit.

The exhaust hose pumps out a lot of heat, not sure how you'd secure it in a tent without venting as much heat as cool for little net gain. Could it be done, probably, but you might be better off with the bucket/fan/and ice contraption.

I would say no because you are losing a foot on each side. The tent walls will not taunt up and you will have a droopy tent. This would cause your sides to potentially collect rain in the droops (?)and likely leak. But, you could always try it and get a new 10by canopy if it doesn't work. Use your 9by over your picnic table. �

This runs on gas, so it releases heat as well as carbon monoxide. If someone sleeps with this, I can only assume you would need proper ventilation in the tent.

Obviously it needs access to an electrical outlet, but otherwise it should work in either. The base provides a strudy foundation such that it would not easily fall over. Although no surface gets real hot, I would exercise care to ensure it is not placed near any tent fabric walls. Also, remember it is rated only at 1500 watts, so it can't heat an overly large or drafty space.

I am not aware of tents being designed for a "temperature range"?? My understanding is that a multi-season tent is designed to resist high winds, snow, heavy rains or extreme heat. I would say that this is a bivvy rather than a tent and is therefore already a compromise in providing shelter from the elements - you buy it because it is light weight and compact. I have used it in the summer, where there were bugs/mosquitos and where it rained. It is possible to ventilate well by unzipping the outer shell and relying on the netting. But you cant really do this when its raining. There is a small vent but it just stops you from suffocating not sweating it out....and in that respect it is not very breathable so I had a lot of condensation build up inside the tent. It does keep the rain out and I imagine it would also be fine if snow fell on it....but thats were you depend on the "temperature range" of your sleeping bag. For me, I plan to erect a small tarp over the tent next season and might eventually just move to this in conjunction with a sleeping bag that matches the conditions.

In my opinion - NO! This heater is blazing hot, even on low, and could easily be a fire hazard to any material too close in front or above it - like tent fabric. In addition, it is not very stable, which adds to the risk - even if the flame goes out when it tips over the casing will still be very, very hot. And it has no low oxygen sensor to shut it down in case of inadequate ventilation. Then there is the carbon monoxide risk. This is strictly an outdoor radiant heater, in my opinion.
