Where in the UK can I get a small heater for my garden shed to keep
away the damp?

I store some personal possessions there like clothes, books and so
on. This means I don't want a heater which makes a smell - like
paraffin.

The shed is small (about 2m x 2m) so I don't need a powerful
heater. There isn't enough room for a heating panel as big as this:

Wouldn't a De-humidifier be better?
If you have no electric to the shed consider this...Generator

It's a chainsaw.

Good idea but a few /tiny/ flaws:

It only has a runtime of 5.8 hours and then you have to fill it back
up with petrol.
The OP doesn't want her clothes etc to smell of damp so it's safe to
assume she doesn't want them to smell of exhaust fumes neither.
It only has an output of 720 Watts, not really enough for a fan
heater, or a de-humidifier for that matter.
It costs £60, plus the cost of a de-humidifier, plus £20 daily for
petrol to keep it running all day...it would be cheaper to build an
extension to the house.


Go eat you're rice crispies Phillip.
