Hello All,
I'm in the planning stages of heating my barn workshop. I'm needing to run natural gas to the barn, but was unsure if the distance I have to go is suitable for my application.
I was given about 300' of 1-1/4" yellow gas line, so what my thoughts were was to run this from my outside meter to my house, around and to the barn. This is a distance of approx. 170'. Plus once inside I will be traveling inside to the back of the barn which is an additional 40+ feet.
My barn is 24' x 32' with 12' sidewalls. It will be insulated before I turn the heat on, but that's a project for next summer.
My question is this....how big of heater do I need to do the job and will I have enough volume for the distance I will be traveling?
Also, what kind of heater do you all recommend? radiant, force-air, etc.
Does anyone have an electric heater in a barn this size? Wondering if that may be a possibility.
Thanks for the input,
Steve
