Heating with a stove

This is one of the easiest heating methods. A stove is mounted in the vestibule, and labor from it goes along the perimeter of the structure, during the furnace smoke comes out, giving off heat.

Furnace option

The advantages include ease of installation and the availability of fuel, which can be anything, as well as saving money. At the same time, there are also disadvantages - the lack of uniform heat and temperature drops, which adversely affects the yield.

Biological variant

In the process of decay, heat is released, bark, fertilizer or sawdust are applicable. At the same time, the air is humidified and the soil is fertilized. But this method is not suitable for winter, it is applicable only as an additional option.

"Warm" bed

Water

The most popular method, which requires a boiler, tank, pipes and pump. In principle, the system is similar to home heating, where the liquid is heated in the boiler and enters through the pipes, heat is evenly distributed during the circulation. The disadvantages include the complexity of installation and the cost of money, but the temperature regime will always be normal.

Water heating system

Gas

This is an alternative to electric heating, it is much cheaper. Gas burners and heaters are installed in the greenhouse, which generate a sufficient amount of heat. Most often, infrared variants of heating devices are mounted.
