I have a 16'x48' hoop style greenhouse. Mine is double layer plastic with air blown between the layers.
heating it can get quite expensive when it is cloudy and north wind blowing.Useing propane blue flame heater and fans blowing the air around inside.I have never tried electric heat because i dont want to be dependent on electricity.
the water bottles will not hold much heat. they cool down at the same rate everything else does.
blueflame is better than the infared heaters for greenhouse applications. the blueflame heats the air where the infared heats the objects.
when the sun is shineing it gets HOT inside. you will need to be constantly opening and closeing vents to keep it regulated.
Best to go ahead and put a exhaust fan with louvers and motorized intake louvers controlled with a thermostat.
i have done it both ways and all it takes is one time to be away when the sun pops out on a cloudy day and everything will be cooked.
i wished i would of insulated the floor when i built mine.
