Non insulated...? A lot? It is really hard to give you a number of gallons... Is it sealed? Define "no isulated"? How did you intend to heat it? A blowtorch or a propane heater? I would love to help, but there are simply too many variables.

Cheers

Nah. It's not feasible anyway. I was looking into propane heater. Appreciate the gesture. It's bare,y sealed. Aka. No. I can see the ligh coming in at certain spots in the day time. I've though about sealing it, but that would cost a lot in itself. Maybe over time. Till then. Garage is of no use for me. Or at least for what I want it to be.

Yeah, you can't grow in it during winter... That is my guess...
Oh well...

Make sure to do it up right if you do this, dying of carbon monoxide poisoning would be unfortunate.

I dont know but I tell you: INSULATE IT. You'll probably save so much on heating, that you earn back the insulation cost in that single season.
If theres holes the heat is just going to leave as fast as it is formed and propane heater? Better get one with a flu to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
Insulation does NOT have to be expensive, if you say holes, you can get a can of PUR (polyurethane) and foam shut those nooks and crannies with a single can, then cover thin surfaces with polystyrene plate. You can line the door edges with that spongy adhesive tape at like 2 bucks per yard. All very cheap.
If you insulate it well you could keep 10x10ft habitable almost with body heat alone, but if you leave it uninsulated you can cram a kilowatt/hour of heat in there and still be cold.
You might like this Shroomery subforum: DIY & Home Improvement, you could start a thread there and perhaps post pics of the shed's interior and I'm sure you'll get sound advice on a low cost approach to insulating it.
Why I got such a hardon for insulation? Last year I had my windows replaced with high insulation factor glass and changed my old central heating unit for my home for a new high tech one. My gas bill is levelled out throughout the year, so you pay as much every month, summer or winter. Just these 2 measures cut it right in half, I save $100 every single month of the year

What Wiccan seeker said. Get it insulated. It'll cost a lot less than tryin to keep it heated threat you're talking.

it will probably cost around 100$ to insulate and vapor barrier the space. Should only take 3-4 hours too.
Then you can use an oil heater with a thermostat

that's what I would do

I agree with everyone else. Get it insulated or out of your mind.
