Is there a such thing as a tarp that is insulated?
I just want to keep the temp. of it above zero to prevent freezing.
The other day the chute was pretty iced up. I had to force it to move which I didn't like to do because I was afraid something would snap. Also, the triggers for the steering are frozen right now.
yes - you can get insulated tarps. they use them to insulate concrete that is poured in the winter. just insulating probably won't do it unless you're insulating it to keep a heat source in. residual engine heat will likely dissipate pretty quickly.
you could keep a spray bottle of winter windshield washer fluid in the house and bring it out to the shed with you when you're ready to start. a couple of squirts of room temperature fluid might help free up frozen parts, but i still think the 60w bulb will work best. if you have to run an extension cord, try stapling it to a 2x4 and the putting it on the ground cord side down - it will stop it from getting tangled and will be less of a tripping hazard.
