G’ day to all,

OK big changes in my original plans to build from scratch a Greenhouse. I have now decided to buy a much smaller Palram Snap & Grow 6 x 8 ft. Greenhouse and place it next to my house with good Winter sun exposure and protection from the North wind. My intended use will be mainly for growing vegetable plants from seeds that will be transplanted later to my garden. I will also try to grow some tomato and cucumber plants through the Winter in large containers.

My question is what type of floor should I have inside?
1) Natural earth with paver stones for a center walk path.
2) Use paver stones for the entire floor set over black plastic with drain holes.
3) Treated lumber raised off the natural ground.
4) Pea Gravel to cover the entire floor about 3 to 4 inches deep on top of black plastic with holes for water drainage. Maybe some paver stones in the middle for a walk path.
5) Open to any and all other suggestions.

I am also open to any pros and cons to the above listed options denoting any real advantage or a serious disadvantage.

Thanking all in advance for your help, Thank You!
Thomas75
