Need Help!! I have an electrifying question!

BVGardener · December 11, 2007

I need to think about supplying heat to the green house and I'm probably going to have to do this for next Saturday nights' forecasted low temps. I have a couple of radiator type electric heaters that I believe would generate not only enough heat but in a safe manner and without worry of overheating the hoophouse.

My problem is that I do not have electricity anywhere near that area. Just guessing, the nearest source of electricity is at least 100' away. If I run an extension cord, what can I do to ensure the connections are waterproof? I don't want to hard wire electricity out there at this point. Any other things I need to keep in mind?

Thanks,
Jay
