My pole barn is 30' x 50' and I have a overhead radiant tube heater. The nice thing with these is that when it is turned on you feel the radiant heat right away (no waiting to heat the entire air space) No noise, no fan blowing and they are fairly cheap as no real moving parts. The one I have is converted to propane as I don't have natural gas there. I keep the thermostat set as low as it will go (about 45 degrees) and I can turn it up when I get home and feel the heat within about 5 mins. The thing I really like about these heaters is if you bring in a cold tractror, car, truck or even steel for a project the heat will go right to that object and warm it right away. I do a lot of autoglass work where you need the rubber/plastic mouldings warmed up and these heaters are great for that. Melting Ice and snow off a vehicle is great.
