My shed is single skin breeze block and measures 6m x 5m (30sqm) with insulation in the roof (doing walls next year).
I bought an oil radiator for £60 and had to send it back because the timer wouldn't work. Quite apart from that though, it was pretty poor in heating up the place. Even though it was a 12 fin radiator and I don't expect it to be that warm, it seemed pretty ineffective. I know you have to wait about an hour for it to really start radiating heat out, but even after about two hours, I was pretty underwhelmed. As said, that was a £60 model, but I was considering a model for £180; bit gunshy now though, seeing as I've had a negative experience with them.
What are your experiences in using an oil radiator to heat a shed/outhouse building?
