Converting a portable shed into a mini greenhouse?

I was looking at a catalog that had portable sheds in it for about $300. They had one that was called a sidemate. It was attached to a side of a house and had a door. The door looks like it's lockable too. I was thinking this would be a cool little greenhouse. All you would have to do when you set it up it change the roof out with something so that the sun can shine in. Also setting up some sort of ventilation. What would you use for the top of the shed for sunlight to shine in?

go with a clear corrugated fiberglass roofing, it looks like a metal or tin corugated roof but its made of fiberglass and clear corugated looks like a cloudy white non-visable from up above but you get plenty of good growing light from it with security, actually if you frame out a greenhouse with 2x4's and use the corrugated fiberglass for siding and roofing you would maximize lighting without having any shadows to cut off your outdoor lighting, vents at both ends of the top of the greenhouse would take care of some of the heat.
Dress the outside of the greenhouse with bushes and flowers to take away that suspicous look, hang a rake or two on the walls so that the shadows of the greenhouse show that its kinda likw a storage building. Hope this helps ?

peace
