Why install a diesel parking heater?
The animal house: What should be heated?
The building to be heated is a wooden plank garden shed that I have converted especially for my animals. The house has been extended with an outdoor aviary, which offers additional space and freedom of movement. Inside, budgies, guinea pigs and rabbits live in separate areas.
Especially in the cold winter months, it is important to maintain a constant temperature inside the house to ensure the well-being of the animals. While the outdoor aviary does not need to be heated, I need a reliable and energy-efficient heat source for the garden shed.
You can find out more about the construction of the animal house and the outdoor aviary in my detailed blog post:

The problem with the previous solution
My original approach was to heat the animal house with an electric fan heater. Although this was powerful, it turned out to be far too power-intensive. With my photovoltaic system, I couldn’t run the fan heater continuously during the cold winter months. Especially the long nights with temperatures of up to -10°C showed the limits of my previous system.
My power requirement for the fan heater was around 8 kWh per night, but the capacity of my batteries was nowhere near enough. Even on sunny winter days, the PV system only generated around 1.92 kWh, which was not even enough for half of the electricity required.
The solution: Install a diesel parking heater
The China heater solves this problem effectively: with an output of 8 KW and a consumption of 0.2 to 0.3 liters of diesel per hour, operation remains affordable even with continuous heating over several days. It also works completely independently of the solar power from my off-grid PV system and provides constant heat. An ideal mobile solution for cold regions and long nights.

Installing the mobile heating box on the animal house: The steps at a glance
I had already built the heating box and described it in detail in my blog post:
Build your own mobile heating box – The best DIY solution with an 8kW diesel parking heater.
Now I had to mount the heating box safely and functionally on the outside of the garden shed, which serves as an animal house. The following steps were necessary for this:
Secure attachment of the heating box
The heating box had to be mounted stably at the back of the garden shed to permanently support the weight of the box and the vibrations of the diesel heater. As the crate is installed outdoors, a weatherproof and theft-proof attachment is crucial. In addition, care had to be taken to ensure that the box remained easily accessible for maintenance work. Nevertheless, the installation was to be implemented in such a way that I could use the mobile heating system elsewhere at any time.
Drill openings for air circulation
Effective air circulation is necessary for the heating system to perform its function. This requires:
- A hole for the warm air hose to guide the heated air into the animal house.
- Another hole for the return air hose, which feeds the room air back into the heating box to heat it up again.
Without these ducts, the heating system would not be able to efficiently transfer its heat output into the interior of the house.
Route the power supply to the outside
The diesel heater requires a reliable power source to ensure operation. As the power supply was previously only provided inside the building, the cables had to be routed outside. At the same time, the power supply should be switchable from the inside so that I can conveniently control the heating.
The cables had to be laid in such a way that they could be securely connected to the contact plugs on the heating box. I have already fitted the mating connectors to the box so that I can connect or disconnect the cables at any time. This makes the power supply flexible and allows the heating box to be used in other locations if required.
As the garden shed could be frequented by wild animals such as martens, the cables also had to be protected against damage. Proper installation in conduits or with a protective sheath ensures that the cables are safe from animals.
Laying the remote control cable
The diesel heater has a remote control that allows me to precisely regulate the temperature in the house. To be able to use the remote control inside the garden shed, the control cables had to be laid through the wall. Here too, the cables had to be installed in such a way that they could be easily and safely connected to the heating box using contact plugs.
This modular connection makes it easy to operate the heating without having to leave the house – particularly important on cold winter nights.
Laying the exhaust hose safely
The exhaust hose of the diesel heater discharges the combustion gases to the outside and can reach temperatures of over 100°C. Improper installation could:
- Cause a fire hazard if the hose comes into contact with flammable materials.
- Dangerous exhaust fumes into the house if the hose is not securely sealed or the wind is unfavorable.
It was therefore important to lay the hose in such a way that the exhaust gases could escape safely and the house remained protected from risks.

Installing a mobile heating box on the animal house: This is how I did it
Once the planning was complete, I was able to start installing the heating box on the outside of the garden shed. Here I describe the exact steps that I implemented in practice:
Attach the heater box securely to the garden shed
The heating box was installed at the rear of the garden shed. First of all, I chose a location where the box is easy to reach but not in the way. It was important to attach the heating box securely and stably in order to be able to permanently support the weight and vibrations of the diesel heater.
Here are the steps I took to attach the heating box:
Installing heavy-duty brackets: I put 10 mm threaded bolts through the wall of the garden shed. The previously marked points were drilled precisely so that the threaded bolts could be guided from the inside to the outside. The heavy-duty brackets were securely bolted on the outside, while I counter-locked the bolts on the inside with nuts to create a stable connection.
Mounting rails attached: I screwed two mounting rails over the two heavy-duty brackets. These rails serve as a support for the heating box. Screwing the box onto the mounting rails makes it possible to quickly remove the heating box from the inside without having to dismantle the entire mounting. This keeps the heating box theft-proof and at the same time flexible if it is to be used at a different location.
Decoupling with rubber buffers: The mounting rails were decoupled from the heavy-duty brackets using rubber buffers. This effectively dampens vibrations from the diesel heater and minimizes noise development.

Drill openings for the heating hoses and install air circulation
To circulate the air, I drilled two holes through the wall of the garden shed to channel the warm air from the heating box into the interior and return the return air to the heating box. The positions of the openings have been carefully planned to ensure optimum air circulation:
Hot air outlet fitted
The warm air is blown out on the left-hand side of the heating box through a 75 mm flange. I inserted a 75 mm flexible pipe into the flange, which was fed through the wall into the garden shed in a tight bend right next to the box. I cut out the hole in the wall with a jigsaw. In retrospect, the work would probably have been easier with a reciprocating saw, and inside the house the flexible hose was attached to the air vent with a clamp. The air outlet was then screwed to the inside of the wall so that the warm air is distributed evenly throughout the room.
Circulation pipe laid
I drilled another hole to the right of the heating box for the circulation pipe, which feeds the air from inside the garden shed back into the heating box. Here too, a 75 mm hose was fed through the wall. The hose ensures that the air that has already been heated is fed back into the heating system, thereby saving heating energy.
Sealing work and animal welfare
Both openings were then sealed with heat-resistant sealing tape to create an airtight connection and prevent heat loss. It was also particularly important that the animals inside the garden shed had no opportunity to nibble on the hoses or wall ducts.
Laying the power connection for the heating box
I used the existing 220V power supply from the garden shed to power the heating box. The house is supplied either via my stand-alone PV system or, depending on the charge status of the PV storage system, automatically via the grid connection. This switchover is carried out automatically by my system. Here are the individual steps on how I implemented the power connection to the heating box:
Power distribution extended inside
I laid a new 3×1.5 mm² NYM cable from the existing power distribution in the garden shed in the top left-hand corner of the rear wall. I have installed a light switch there, which I can use to conveniently switch the power supply to the heater box on and off from inside.
Cable entry and external socket outlet
I ran the cable from the light switch through the back wall of the garden shed. The drill hole was fitted with a watertight cable gland to make the cable entry weatherproof. I have fitted a weatherproof double socket outside, which can be controlled via the switch inside. This ensures safe and simple operation of the power supply.
Cable duct laid to the heating box
From the double socket, I laid a color-matching cable duct to behind the heating box. The cable duct protects the power supply line from external influences such as the weather and wild animals such as martens.
Plug-in connection on the heating box
On the heating box, I connected the cable to the counterpart, which is permanently installed on the box and connected to the transformer, via an already fitted waterproof plug. The transformer converts the 220V alternating current into 12V direct current. The other end of the cable is simply plugged into the double socket. This solution allows me to disconnect the power supply at any time and use the heating box at another location if necessary.
Flexibility and security
By installing the switchable socket, I can conveniently control the power supply to the heating box from inside and thus also protect it from misuse. At the same time, the installation remains flexible and mobile, as I can simply remove the power cable from the socket and use it at a different location.

Laying the remote control cable for the heating box
The control cables for the remote control have been carefully routed through a separate feed-through in the wall to enable safe and practical operation of the heating box. The installation is similar in many respects to the laying of power cables, but differs in a few details.
Connection to the heating box
On the outside, I connected the control cable with a waterproof plug to the matching counterpart on the heater box. This plug-in connection makes the control unit flexible and allows the cable to be easily disconnected if required.
Cable routing in the cable duct
The control cable was laid in the same cable duct as the power cable. The control cable comes out of the duct next to the double socket and is fed through a hole in the wall into the inside of the garden shed. I carefully drilled this hole and provided it with a cable gland to ensure a weatherproof and secure connection.
Cabling inside the house
Inside the garden shed, I installed a small distribution box right next to the light switch. In this box, I was able to securely connect the control cable with the WAGO terminals to the remote control cables. The use of WAGO clamps allows me to easily disconnect the cable connection if necessary and remove or replace the remote control.
Mounting the control panel
The control panel of the remote control was screwed directly to the cover of the distributor box. Fortunately, the panel has suitable screw mounts on the back, which made installation uncomplicated. The panel is now easily accessible next to the light switch and the cables are neatly stowed away in the distribution box.
Safety for the cables
By mounting them in the distribution box, the cables are safely protected from possible damage – especially from budgerigars, which could otherwise nibble on them.
Future expansion
To increase the flexibility of the heating box, I’m thinking about buying a second remote control that I can permanently install in the heating box. This would allow me to switch to this second remote control when I’m out and about with the heater box and I wouldn’t have to remove the original remote control every time.
With this installation, the remote control of the heating box is not only easy to operate, but also securely and flexibly integrated into the existing infrastructure of the garden shed.

Exhaust hose safely laid and fitted
The flue gas hose had to be laid in such a way that the combustion gases are safely discharged, there is no risk of fire and condensation can drain away reliably. I have implemented the following steps for this:
Connecting the flue gas pipe to the heating box
The 25 mm exhaust pipe was connected directly to the adapter that I had previously installed in the heating box. The adapter is an on-board feedthrough from the shipbuilding industry, which is characterized by its heat resistance and stability. It fits the exhaust pipe perfectly and ensures a secure, tight connection.
Laying the flue gas pipe
The flue pipe has a total length of 2 meters and was laid in such a way that it has no contact with the wooden house or other combustible materials:
- From the adapter, I first led the pipe downwards.
- It was then laid at an angle to the left and finally ends at the level of the house foundation at the corner of the house.
This routing ensures that the flue gases can escape freely and that there is no risk of them entering the garden shed. At the same time, condensation can drain from the pipe unhindered, preventing corrosion of the flue gas pipe.
Fixation and safety
I used metal clamps to securely fasten the exhaust pipe. These were mounted to the overhang of the foundation using hanger bolts. The fixation ensures that the pipe remains stable and cannot slip or be damaged.
- The chosen construction method significantly reduces the risk of exhaust fumes entering the house and reaching the animals. The position of the pipe end on the foundation ensures that the exhaust gases can escape to the outside at a safe distance.

The heating box in the test – practical experience
After installation, I tested the heating box under real conditions to check its performance and efficiency. Here are the most important results:
Constant heat
Even when it was -10°C outside, I was able to keep the inside temperature in the garden shed at a pleasant +10°C. The air inside heats up quickly and I have set the warm air diffuser so that it does not blow directly at the animals. Instead, the warm air flows from below against the board of the clipboard, distributing it evenly throughout the house, and the approx. 30 cm long air ducts that lead from the heating box into the garden shed are currently still uninsulated. The heat loss through these pipes is acceptable from my point of view, but I plan to insulate the pipes with additional insulation foil in the future to further increase efficiency.
Improved air circulation through filters
The pipe for the circulation line, which returns the air from the house to the heating box, also sucked in dust and feathers from the animals during the tests. To prevent this, I uninstalled the air vent on the circulation pipe and fitted an air filter instead. The filter used comes from the computer sector and is a large, fine-mesh filter that effectively retains dust and does not impair the function of the heater.
Perfect control
Controlling the heating from inside the house works perfectly. I switch the heating on in the evening, set the desired temperature and it is reliably reached and maintained. It is even possible to use a programmable timer.
Efficient consumption
With the current 5 liter fuel tank, the heater could run continuously for about 2 to a maximum of 3 nights (from approx. 17:00 to 07:00). The fuel consumption (diesel or heating oil) is therefore within limits, but I am planning to replace the tank with a larger one. The box was dimensioned in advance so that I can easily retrofit a larger tank.
Quiet operation
The heating box works pleasantly quietly. The fan noise can be heard at the air inlets in the wall, especially when starting or at higher power levels. At level 2, however, only a slight noise is perceptible.
The clacking of the diesel pump is also barely audible. It is only noticed with great difficulty via the ventilation ducts. This shows that the decoupling of the box works excellently and that vibrations and noise are effectively dampened.
Initial tests have shown that the heating box works reliably under real conditions and meets the desired requirements. The heat output is constant, consumption is moderate and noise levels remain within reasonable limits.
Minor optimizations such as insulating the air ducts and replacing the tank will further increase the efficiency and user-friendliness of the heating box.

Summary: Building and installing a mobile heating box with diesel parking heater
The search for a reliable heating solution for my garden shed led me to the decision to build a mobile heating box with an 8kW diesel parking heater. The aim was to create a compact, weatherproof and powerful heater that could not only heat a garden shed, but also a camper, motorhome or animal house.
Why a diesel parking heater?
My previous electric fan heater was too power-intensive and could not be operated continuously by my photovoltaic system during the cold winter months. The diesel parking heater solved this problem effectively, as it works independently of the power grid, is efficient with a low diesel consumption of 0.2 to 0.3 liters per hour and provides constant heat – even at outside temperatures of -10°C.
The heating box – compact design and installation
The heating box has been designed to be robust, mobile and flexible. After construction, the heating box was installed at the back of the garden shed. The following steps were implemented:
- Secure fastening: The heating box is secured with heavy-duty brackets, mounting rails and rubber buffers to prevent vibration and theft.
- Air circulation: Two air ducts were routed through the wall of the house – one for the warm air and one for the circulation duct in order to use the heat efficiently.
- Power connection: A double socket has been installed that can be switched from the inside to conduct the power flexibly and safely to the heating box.
- Remote control: The control cables have been neatly laid and connected to a distribution box inside the house so that the temperature can be conveniently set.
- Exhaust gas hose: The exhaust gas pipe with the silencer has been laid in a safe and heat-resistant manner in order to safely discharge the combustion gases and allow condensation to drain off.
Test results: Efficient, quiet and reliable
The tests of the heating box showed excellent results:
- Constant heat: Even at -10°C, the garden shed was warmed from 6 to a pleasant +10°C at level 2.
- Efficient consumption: The supplied tank with a capacity of 5 liters was sufficient for up to 3 nights (approx. 14 hours per night).
- Quiet operation: Thanks to the decoupling and sound insulation, the noise level of the diesel parking heater is barely audible, and the clicking of the pump is also minimal.
- Optimized air circulation: The installation of an air filter prevents dust or animal feathers from entering the circulation line.
- Flexibility: The modular design makes it easy to use the heater box in other locations such as a camper or motorhome.
Conclusion
The combination of the VEVOR 8kW diesel parking heater and the mobile heating box offers a perfect solution for energy-efficient and self-sufficient heating. It is ideal for animal houses, garden sheds or camping and impresses with its simple operation, flexible use and efficient performance.
I therefore draw a thoroughly positive conclusion from the installation of the parking heater in the garden shed.
