DaisyI said:Probably the most important consideration is the floor and drainage. Greenhouses are wet messy places. My last greenhouse had a paver floor over sand and drained down into the soil below but, it didn't have a way to get rid of debris over sills. Lots of sweeping and dust pans. My new greenhouse has a concrete floor with drains but, the drainage is into a French drain so I constantly battle trying to keep junk from going into the drain and clogging it. It would have been a much better plan to have a concrete floor slightly higher than grade with drains at floor level so the water and debris could be washed outside through the drain holes.


Thanks for your feedback regarding drainage, that is truly important.
