Invert shed

[Daubz1977]

I'm currently converting my shed into an invert room. The shed has been built in an area that is in the shade most of the day.I have insulated the roof walls and floor and boarded them all. It is cooler in my shed than in my house at the moment. I am going to heat the shed with an oil filled heater and I am going to have a fan going constantly. My questions are am I best controlling the temperature with a normal room thermostat or should I use some sort of reptile thermostat. Also has anybody else done this before and how did it work out? I havnt got any photos of it boarded yet.

I would use a room thermostat

Also I was wondering if I need an extraction fan in the shed. I am going to put a fan in to circulate the air.

I'd say that depends, how often will you be opening the shed (letting fresh air in)

I would monitor the average daily ambient temperature in the shed to get an idea of what temps will be, optimally throughout the year, before making any definite commitments
