ive got a 2kw heater that i use just to warm the place up but ideally wudnt want to run it all the time due to cost, cud try leaving it on frost protect i suppose just wanted to find out if these machines are easily damaged or if the cold wud affect it.

the best thing to do is put heater on a timer set it to come on 30 mins first light then 30 mins dusk that will work fine,the biggest killer of machines in sheds is condensation,this is the same prob my friend had is machines kept breaking down,now they do not.hope this helps
