Hi all. So I'm looking at putting a natural gas radiant tube heater in my garage. I'm trying to decide on where to place. I'm in Pittsburgh, it's a 24'x24' detached, insulated garage. I'll try to describe the layout, since I don't have a program on this computer to sketch it out.
I'm sure my garage is pretty typical. One double door to enter. Two cars parked side by side. Work bench is in the front, with tool boxes and another bench along one side. So, my first thought would be to locate it towards the front of the garage. I can't put it right over the bench because it would be too close to the front wall, plus I'm sure it would make me too hot. I was thinking back from the bench a bit, with the reflector at 45 degrees pointing towards the door. Or maybe right down the center of the garage between the cars? Or maybe one side or the other? Where do most folks locate their tube type radiant heaters?
