It is Stevep, but Polythene isn't a good insulator and so you loos most of what you generate. You need to Insulate with something (bubble poly) but it's not easy to fix to the frame (unlike a g/house). I think the best bet would be to make a sort of large coldframe inside to partition part of it off & heat this. It would be cheaper than trying to heat the lot.
