It stays 60F in there with no heat even when temps drop due to having insulated doors and heated walls on 3 sides (2 walls @ floor above)

It looks like a less cluttered version of my garage here in New Jersey..., LOL. My garage is a loft, so the Queen palms can reach the second story level now.

My garage is detached and out back, but faces directly south and gets sun all day.  There is plastic insulation and one electric radiator and one infrared space heater.

Minimum temp this winter dropped to 37 F.  Been an extremely mild winter here, so, mostly 60 F by day now.

Getting too warm is the real problem..., can't keep up with a full-time work schedule and watering my palm hoard! 

What palm species are you overwintering in there?

Amazing!  I live in Hawaii and wish my wife would let me garage my plants like that!  Do you bring them in for the night and take them back out in the morning?  Maybe I can convince my wife to bring in a couple palms in for the night :floor:

They stay inside for 2-4 months depending on the palm.  Many are going back outside in a couple days.
