Not a brilliant site but should help you calculate heat loss and the heat input needed. but line it with bubble pack and if you only want to keep it frost free then 1KW would be ok otherwise 2KW would probably be needed if you want to keep it at say 12C. http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/G...hdbk/heat.html

Alternatively go to your local library and check out the books there.
A useful one is by Ian G Walls called "the complete book of the greenhouse"
