Default Propagation Bench construction

Can any one direct me towards some instructions for a propagation

bench.

So far I have constructed a 6' x 2' x 6" deep bench and ordered a 20

ft soil
warming cable and a rod thermostat.

I was wondering about lining the bottom with a sheet of polystyrene,

with
drainage hoiles of course.

Was then gouing to use horticultural grit. Not sure of the depth of

grit
abovre and below the cable?

Yes line with polystyrene also line the sides. I have experimented on
this and found the heat loss through the sides to be significant..
