I set this up a couple of years ago with a couple of chairs inside and a small propane heater. Worked great for cold nights, but was a little iffy in high winds. LOL Packed it away when the weather warmed up.

I hate to sound negative , but piggy-backing on the last 2 posts : how are you going to heat it ?
Wisconsin is at least as cold as Iowa.............
Edit : Sorry , I missed your space heater reference .

Heat is necessary, but it doesn't have to be shirt-sleeve warm. I smoke in the garage and right now it's cold out. I'd like to make a nicer spot in one corner of the garage that's a little more comfortable. I'm watching this thread with interest.
My plan is to place the shed right next to my home, with an extension cord for power/heat/ventilation. It is going to be a tight fit, but should work for what I need it to! Lol
I'm doing something similar here shortly. My boss won't let me smoke in the house
Have you considered using a small wood stove for heat?He said he's going with electric heat. Certainly effective, fast heat, without combustion products. Smart.
I'll be buying a small electric heater. I miss my wood stove in my old garage though. It was fun just having it going, even though it wasn't really "that cold" at times hahaha.I'm doing something similar here shortly. My boss won't let me smoke in the house
Plus I'll barely have any room for that in there! But if I can get a chair, heater and purifier, I'll be set!
This and solar lighting as mentioned above.
If you know any ice fisherman, talk to them. Those guys know how to kit out small shacks.

Great idea asking ice fisherman. And if I upgrade my shed size, I'm definetly adding that wood stove! That's awesome, and cheap!
If the shed you are getting were made of wood, you could build a bench seat into the wall if it's sturdy enough for it. Not as comfortable as a recliner, and less flexible than a chair, but gives a lot more space. You coul even make one side of the bench slanted so you could sit long-ways on it and lean back on the up slant.
Other than ice-fishers, you could talk to deer hunters and see what the ones who use blinds/stands do with theirs, though they'll never be working with a space heater.

I was doing some work in a rental house & the tenant had a smoking tent in his basement (though I don't think it was for controlling pipe smoke )
.
Vented to the outdoors .
I'd never seen one before .

That's not a tent. That's a hydroponic grow box. One would buy such a thing if one wanted to grow certain bushy plants without the light or heat necessary to do so raising suspicion.
Not trying to be contentious , but if you were growing , say , chives
, would it need a blower run ventilator ?
When I get settled in a permanent place in Minnesota next year I’ll need to do something like this. I’ll watch this for ideas.
Hi @didimauw
If you will keep it shut when smoking, you might want to consider some filtration like a Coway. The Mighty 1512HH is nice, I use to have one. I plan to get one of their other models, for viruses, bacteria, etc…

Hope we get to see pics when it’s done…

Airmega Mighty AP-1512HH
Small in size, the Airmega Mighty AP-1512HH contains a pre-filter, odor filter, Green True HEPA filter, and a bipolar device to reduce contaminants in the air.

Yeah, wish I had a He-shed. Gets bloody cold up here during the winter. Smoke in the garage with a small heater, but still never gets much warmer than freezing.
