I have always boxed my adults (I had untill recently) but at our previous house we had a brick outbuilding which stayed cold all year round, it had a heater set on a thermostat and worked very well. We could keep it at 5c with little trouble, this last year we had to use a shed, this time we boxed in an area under the shelf, insulated it with loft lagging and had a 'door' front that could be removed. The shed had tubular heating again on a thermostat, this did work well but the heating was on most of the time in the bad weather, thermometers were inside the box, inside the insulated area and the shed itself. The box was a lidded wooden one, it would have been easier with a fridge and had we still got the torts would have been what we would have used this year.
