It's very simple - build a wooden box (with a floor and removable lid about 18" x 18" x 18".
Drill 2 holes per side about 3/8" diameter about 1" off the bottom, drill 6 in the lid. These are for air flow.
Fix the heater unit to the lid (I use a 150watt F.T.E ceramic element)
The best type of thermostat is a Pulse Proportional or you can use a standard on/off type.
If you use a light bulb (not recommended) you must use a dimmerstat or Microclimate mini 300).
