I have a garden "cottage" (shed) that is 120 sq feet, ceiling avg 9 feet. Product info says this heats up to 100 sq feet. Will this work for me?

I think it will heat it well, but I am not sure how long the tank will last. Could get expensive. Do you have electricity in the shed?

It all depends on how warm you want it. If you just need to chase away the chill, it'll do fine. If you want it 80/90 degrees, it might not. I only use them to prevent freezing in garden tunnels, they just barely do it but that's all I need.

I would say no. Just used this model in a 14x10 tent with a lower ceiling in low 30's. It didn't do the job. I know I have fabric walls vs solid walls, but for a lil more money, you can buy the next step up model at 4000 to 9000 BTU's. I pulled this one out and it worked great in the tent. :)

Yes. I have a 2600 square ft hm. It heats the whole house..as a back up. Even upstairs.

It will heat a building 600 sq. ft.. If your pole barn is not over that square footage, it should work. It also depends if the building is insulated, is it drafty, how cold does it get and how windy does it get...these are things you will have to consider. In my opinion the high ceilings would mean it might take longer to heat. It would come down to if and how well it is insulated and how air tight is it? Hope this helps.

I used it for a while in a 26 x 26 with 15 foot ceilings and it worked but was probably eating me alive in electricity. I sold it to buy a Hot Dawg vented propane heater instead which works great for a space that size.

It should work depending on how much heat you expect. I've got three of these and they tend to be a bit noisy which shouldn't be a problem in a garage.

The 60000 btu would work great. It is over sized but for the priceit is worth it. I have 750 sq ft garage with 12ft ceiling and it heats it up fast. Less strain on the unit.

the thermostat is going to respond to the temp in the entire area. You would have to block off an area to heat only that, or use an inexpensive space heater which you switch on and off. I bought mine to keep my well house/storage shed just above freezing. It is working well for that.

I don't think it is big enough to heat a 2 car garage. I used it on my closed in porch that is over my 2 car garage (which has a large ceiling) and it didn't do a thing. It was in the 30 degree temperature. Just not big enough for that large an area.

I have used it successfully on about 500 sq. ft. Might do more depending on how hot the weather.

Well we have a 1 story. 1440 sq. Ft home it heats it nicely. I have a terminal illness and have to keep my bedroom door closed as it heats it up. We have an open space of about 900 or so square ft. Where the heater sits It heats up in about 15 minutes before it spreads to bedrooms. Hope that helps

This unit doesn't have an accurate thermostat when used in an area with high ceilings, or inadequate insulation. Also depends on the area being heated. An inline electric thermostat would be a little better at controlling the temperature if placed in the right area opposite the heater. My recommendation would be to go at least 100 sq ft larger in Heater size. It seems that you are at max sq ft per BTU rating.

My garage is 600 sqft and uninsulated with 10 ft a ten foot ceiling and l run it on the lowest setting after warming the shop on high. The outside tps were from 20 to 40 deg farenhite

Yes, with some hesitation. I am in N. MI and I heat a room in an otherwise unheated building that is 12x24 with 10.5' ceilings. I only need to keep the room just above 65 to maintain the temperature of the equipment so it actually works quite well and we've already had nights down to 14 degrees this year. I assist the heater with a ceiling fan and the space is as well insulated as most homes but with a concrete floor. The thermostat feature is quite good at maintaining a consistent temperature. If you live in a place that is colder it might not work as well for you but if you're south then it should work well enough but might struggle to keep it at 75 or be on all the time as this size space really does require more BTUs. Download the manual, there is a chart in it to help you figure out your space to know how many BTUs you really need.

This heater works well with its fan blowing the heat, but how well for a garage will depend on how large your garage and it's placement, I would think. Good luck.

I have mine in an upstairs bedroom that is about 12 by 20 ft. with sloped ceilings since it's right under the roof.Since there is foam insulation in the roof, it works well all winter and most of the summer. It can't quite keep up when the outside temp is over 95 degrees. To help it out, I have it taking in room air and exhausting the waste air outside through a vent pipe. That way, it doesn't have to deal with extreme temperature differentials.

It does a pretty good job of heating our large living room which is probably 500 sq feet and we have 11-foot ceilings, so I imagine it would do fine with heating 1000 sq feet of a room with the usual 8-foot ceilings.

I'm not sure what size it is rated to heat but we are using it to heat my husband's workshop that is 200 sq. ft. It's perfect for that (almost overkill) so I think you could go much larger and be fine. We love these heaters - very efficient and quiet. Have used a larger model for the past 10 yrs to heat our 1200 sq. ft. house and have NEVER had any issues with it!
