Hi everyone long time looker, not a frequent poster here...

I have a unique shaped garage (floor space and ceiling height) and need some advice on placement of my natural gas heater.

The furnace:
Hamilton Home Products 75kBTU Natural gas. (very similar to the Big Maxx line)

The Garage:
"L" shaped with 16' high vaulted ceilings. Around 825sqft (See photo/prints below)

I am trying to figure out the best spot to place my furnace in the garage. I already have a squirrel cage blower in the peak of the vault blowing straight down, was thinking about ducting it to over the work bench and over both parking spaces. Obviously on an exterior wall, the current gas line is terminated above the work bench in the back of the garage.

Should I put it up near the cars and the Garage door? Should I put it over the work Bench? On the Long left side wall midway?

What do you guys think?

I have a 24 x 40 but with doors on the 40' side. I just installed my heater (exactly what you have) on the back wall,where your covered deck is, aiming toward the doors and blowing over my work area .
It has a pretty decent blower and it's kinda loud and I'm concerned its going blow sawdust all over as I do mostly woodwork.
If you're heating the whole area, I'd go midway and let the squirrel cage blower keep your work area warm.
