    First

    Check your local codes to see what can/can't be installed in a garage. Around here, anything that is not sealed combustion has to be a minimum of 18" off the floor. I my self wouldn't use anything that is not sealed. Your square footage would indicate something in the 15,000 to 20,000 output range. This could easily be handled by a small direct vent wall heater. Cozy or Empire come to mind as brand names and I think both would have a sealed burner design. The Btu figures above would be for maintaining a temp of 55-60*.
