What I have in mind is effectively an unheated structure strong enough to last in snow country, permanently covered with a white material to keep it shady enough for hardy landscape propagation and less prone to heat up in the winter. I'm thinking of this as a great way to keep deer & weed seeds out of my propagating bins, even as bottom-heated beds would give me a great place to keep them to encourage root growth as the tops remained cold.

Do you think these ideas are compatible? I don't know of any greenhouses of this nature, unless I've seen them and just didn't recognize them as such.

Thank you!
Learning to work with Mother Nature rather than against her, such that the more I harvest with thankfulness, the more she will most gladly and willingly provide.
Specializing in a full spectrum variety of trees and shrubs, occasionally with perennials as an incidental bonus.
