The tent was delivered quickly, was neatly packed. When unpacking showed it was not known by some garden tents ago cheap - Loose goods, all made a strong impression. Construction which was actually done by the enclosed instructions in 30 minutes, the tent was set up in a corner of our garden, each foot was fixed with 3 enclosed nails and skin tent with another nail. Ground: I have grass on sand exhausted, not the tent, it has in this state even without plants the next day a violent thunderstorm winter and later with plant another storm survived without signs of loosening. The floor was covered with Styrodur, on a paving slab bathroom was --compatible heater power provided 1200 watts, this was connected to an external thermostat, the temperature sensor for this was ca hung 1.2 m above the ground in an Oleander. However, since faith but verify is sometimes better, I have not placed far from the thermostat sensor a data logger for temperature, measurement and storage every 3 seconds. The setting of the thermostat was initially a turn at + 2 °, off at + 4 °, later at 0 ° and from 2 °. The analysis revealed the following: The function of this arrangement at least for the occurred in the winter temperatures was absolutely reliable. Due to the values initially gained performed lowering the thermostat setting, it was the whole, measured in the tent period of about 5 weeks no recorded minus temperature. Now for the cost, direct consumption recording did not take place. The time ratio when heating was respectively in cold nights ca 100 sec heating to about 300 sec temperature drop until the next cycle. About the GES. measured period was heated on cold days 8-10 hours. At a ratio of 2: 3, heating to cooling, this results in a total heating time of 4 hrs / day on cold days in this mild winter, this is multiplied by the power of the heater gives 4.8 kWh. The price of electricity per kWh you can see on the last bill. Conclusion: you can make your "love plant" with the tent safely bring over the winter. Who here gets excited about the cost of electricity let me tell you that you can save even more if you zBerst itself At length no cat or certainly no big dog.
And finally: It is very damp in the tent, the reason is probably that reflected on the non-vapor-proof groundsheet evaporating water on the cold tent walls. The next attempt be the remedy with a construction standard sheet under the tent floor is.
