I'll have a look at the packaging later and get back to you.. I'm 28... I'm planning the box right now. I've decided to go with an insulated box with a small space heater. Do you think I should eclose the whole thing with insulation?? Should I leave a small area of the box just covered with see thro...

Thanks for posting those!! I need a good visual. Did you find your electricity bill went up a lot? I guess with the extrat foam insulation the heater should't be running as much.. I think your climate is similar to mine in Kingston. When do you usually start the protection? Sorry for all the questio...

They say zone 6a. I have heard others say zone 5b. We're usually warmer here in Kingston since we are located right on Lake Ontario. It keeps us cooler in the summer, but warmer in the winter. We usually get a lot less snow then say Watertown and Syracuse NY which is between an hour and two hours so...

Cool! I have a trailer at Loughborough Lake.. Did you go to Sydneham High School?
