Sarge Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Yes I had insulated garage doors put in when I built the house. I run a small space heater out in a 3 car garage and it maintains about 50 degrees pretty easily. In the summer I can just open the door to the garage from the house and let the AC bleed out there. It's probably not very efficient but it can keep it cool enough to work out there for sure. You may be able to put in some aftermarket door insulation. It will make a big difference.

twodownzero Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 My dad just cut styrofoam to fit inside the sections of our garage door. He did it mostly to stiffen the door, but I would assume it adds some insulation as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h4444 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Same problem here,,,,new house. Well, we've been in it a year. Unfortunately, the garage door is lower on the priority list to fix, that darn thing is terrible. It is in the 30's in there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifeislarge Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) I was going to complain about the temperature of my garage but then thought about shooting my match on Saturday in shorts and a t-shirt and thought better of it. Still... it can pretty chilly in the morning some days. Edited January 28, 2013 by Lifeislarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZinSC Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Got some time... have some components.. but my garage is TOO COLD to do any reloading! Damn. Same thing for me today. Went out in the garage to inspect a couple of magazines that puked on me in a match yesterday. After I was done i was going to reload. But after taking the mags apart, my fingers were freezing. Back in the house. Would love to get a space heater, but my damn garage has only one outlet in it. I have a power strip, connected by a long extension cord that has my workbench lights plugged in, the casefeeder plugged in, and the radio. Afraid that if I plug a heater in to that same strip I will trip the breaker. ( i know nuthin' bout 'lectricity ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griz Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) I raise the garage door an inch and use a triple burner Mr Heater... Even with a gap at the bottom of the door, it about runs me out of my 2 car garage with 14 foot ceiling. http://www.amazon.co...p/dp/B00005LEXK Edited January 28, 2013 by Griz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
