I’ve got this very large shop on my property. I i’m thinking that I would like to use it at least partially as a greenhouse. There’s no built-in drainage to the floor, and there’s only these few skylights in this roof, but it seems to be pretty bright and temperature control is decent in there because of the concrete floor and some shading provided to the walls by surrounding trees.

What should my concerns be if I tried to convert this into a greenhouse? What steps do you recommend I take? Should I try to install more skylights, more of the fiberglass panels? Do I need to be concerned about drainage?

    if it doesn’t freeze in there you are good to go. I would add plant lights or more skylights

    Look at my post history, I turned a similar but smaller space into a greenhouse. It will cost a lot to do it right but much less that starting from scratch.
