I'm building a 38x30 foot hoop house to house my chickens and grow some crops through the winter. It's a temporary structure. It will come down next summer. Can I build a RMS that can later be moved, that will adequately heat this? The cover will be 6ml clear plastic. The height is variable as the land it's on isn't flat, but it averages may 8-10' high. I'm is southern Vermont. We don't have a lot of humidity, so the nights are cold. I'm growing cold tolerant crops, so I want to keep the hoop house above freezing, but above 40 degrees F would be better.
Will a RMH work for this? I've read they don't work very well for poorly insulated structures, as hoop houses are.
