Thanks for the word of caution but I have to ask are you serious? This is a £35 polytunnel in windy North Yorkshire. Definitely well ventilated.

Thanks for all the weird replies. You should go on the stage. In fact the polytunnel idea has worked brilliantly, and I now have a perfectly warm workshop despite freezing weather. The tunnel cost £35.

Adding the wiring to power pins 8 to 13 only requires a 2.5mm cable from the battery or fusebox, an inline fuse near the power source, and a voltage-sensing relay to switch it on and off automatically. You also, of course, need a 13-pin socket and a wiring diagram for the socket. Such a diagram...
