Box front off, you can see the short air intake on the right ensuring heated air comes from the outside, mesh floor, magnetic cupboard catches for clipping the front on

Same thing - slightly different angle

If it's any help, I used the below plywood size as I wanted plenty of room. You could also save money and not get an all-in-one cased heater; I just went for the easy option coz I'm lazy

That's brilliant insight, thank you! I am always pained to touch my workshop as the previous chap basically had it built and then never so much as put a drawing pin in the structure lol.

It should have minimal effect on your workshop - for mine it's just 4 screws fastening the backboard of the box to the wall, an 80mm hole I used a core drill head for to get the hot air pipe into the garage/workshop and a 6mm drill hole to take power out from a normal 3pin socket to the PSU. I just used a 3m kettle lead, cut the moulded kettle-type plug off and connected it up to the PSU. It makes it easy to power up or isolate from the inside, and the Bluetooth app means I don't have to open the box to change any settings.

I'm not an expert and it was the first time I've done this but shout if you have any questions I can help with.

As an aside you can get the marine plywood (or other options) from these folks. they deliver and will pre cut to size/shape/add holes etc if you want to make building the box enclosure easier.
