    You can build yourself A box out of ply wood, and put the tent in side.

    You could insulat the box and then put your tent in side, only thing I can think off.

    I was thinking of trying to insulate it by throwing old quilts over it but I will look at building a box, cheers.

    You can get insulated tarps,we use them for moving concrete bridge girders from the form to the kilns so they don't crack in the cold(-40 can destroy warm concrete in seconds),no idea on how much they cost though.

    Use kingspan or a similar brand insulation board, skin the whole tent and use 100mm nails to hold the boards together. You will need to leave the front so you can pop it out to open the tent.

    Edit, ply won't really help, I did the ply option in my loft, didn't do fuck all for the temps.

    Maybe loft insulation could work?

    I built a room in my loft this week. If you are in the UK b&q do recticel insulation boards same kind of stuff as kingpan but cheaper. I used that and some 47mm x 50mm timber. Its working really well so far.
