A greenhouse under a wood deck?

10 years ago

I am in SE Arizona, 5300' altitude. The only place where I can easily build a greenhouse is under a 10x60 wood deck which is about 10' above ground level. Two of the sides (10 and 60) are walls; the other 60' faces south and the 10' side faces east. Here are my questions:

1. I am thinking of putting solatubes or solar powered grow lights to light the space. Do you think this will work? If so, how many total watts of light do I need for this size GH?

2. Does the GH need a roof? I am thinking of using corrugated pvc roof panels at an angle to divert the rain water and to protect the wood deck above. What do you think of this idea?

Thank you in advance for your input.
