Just like building a house, for the price of building a controlled environment growing center you need to start with a green house building plan. There is a lot more to a green house than a few pieces of wood and glass and some of those considerations can be outlined in your green house building plan.
Most green houses are, in effect, free-standing buildings and will require a floor and something on which to attach the sides. Depending on its size, build into your green house building plan whether you can use wood or a poured concrete foundation. If you use concrete with a row or two of bricks to raise the height of the green house, the top layer will need to be flat to make attaching the walls easier and more secure.
Using wood, the walls can be attached directly to the wood but this should be specified in the green house building plan whether you draw it up yourself or buy it from a professional service.
Build in Contingencies for Extra Features
You may not wish to add irrigation, heating and ventilation right away for many different reasons, but your green house building plan should have the basic features which would allow for their installation later. While the building is under construction it is easier to run electric wiring for the heat and grow lights.
Ceiling ventilation units, some of which do not require electricity, can always be added later on, but roof bracing may be needed and it will be easier and probably cheaper if that contingency is included in the green house building plan.
Another item to consider is a system with which to capture moisture that condenses on the inside of the walls. Perhaps a drip system which, will allow the water to accumulate in a trough near the floor, can be used for irrigation or watering systems. These are all options you may want to add later and should be noted on the green house building plan.
Another important consideration when designing your green house is which direction the doors face on the green house building plan because in the winter the green house should be exposed to sunlight for about six hours. Plan on the placement of the green house in order take advantage of all the available sun light you can.
