I have an old well pump house I’m considering converting into a greenhouse. It has solid 8 ft brick walls on 3 sides with no interior wood or insulation. I would remove the roof and put up transparent greenhouse panel style roofing. It sits in a slightly shaded area in the afternoon but gets plenty of overhead sun during mid-day.

Would this work? Would the solid walls hinder its use?

I wouldn’t be opposed to supplementing with grow lights if needed. The building has power available.

Welcome @KingThistle14 from a neighbor in Texas. 🤠

I have one of those old pump houses as does most folks with well water.

No reason I can see what you are planning won't work, especially if you are willing and able to augment the light with artificial grow lights. The walls will block light as will the shade you mentioned so adding lighting will likely be required to be successful.

Show us a picture of the completed project if you can.
