Welcome to
Applications - Pole Barns
Equipment Selection:
Lower to mid-size BTU tube heaters are preferred. The
use of vacuum systems is not recommended due to the
limited sizes of most pole barns. Heaters are typically
controlled via a thermostat.
Installation: Most
normal size pole barns can usually be heated with 1-2
heaters. Suggested length is between 20 to 40 feet.
Heaters longer than 40 feet usually have a higher
temperature differential, so using two shorter heaters
is suggested. Burner boxes should be placed close to
overhead doors. Vehicle/equipment parking should be
taken into account when reviewing clearance to
combustibles for placing heaters. It may be necessary
to place heaters at the sidewall and rotate the
reflectors inward. Outside air and sidewall venting is
recommended.
