You can achieve your goals with some pretty simple building materials.Plywood in there now. Guess I haven't looked under it to see, but I'd assume dirt. Planned on using a couple window units til I can afford a mini split. Is this a pipe dream? Itll be 70 degrees here today.
im more interested in whats above,with metal you have to treat it just like a mobile home,you can pack insulation in there too you turn green,but there has to be a dead air spot.Plywood in there now.

the foam board would work just fine,without a pic of building hard for me to direct you right,i know all about hurricane season mate haaha,if the buildng has room to just leave open that fine too,just make booths in there ,just like your tent but in the building,only issue is wind and breeze,you can tend to light leaks but keeping it cool is a whole difrent critter,as soon as you mention hurricane season,yep you gonna need ac no doubt.@oldskol4evr What's above it? As in above the roof? Or inside the ceiling? Unfortunately it's wide open above the building. We've only got one decent sized oak on our whole lot, no coverage whatsoever. Inside the shed it's still wide open to the metal. Shed only about 6 months old. Hadn't put much thought into venting quite yet, wanted to gather opinions on the project being doable on a budget first. Was thinking 1.5" foam board insulation, then drywall. Thought of putting up some sort of screen or something that could block the sun a bit? Like you say a lean to or a big awning type deal. Would have to be strong though, hurricane season is a bitch.
Start out by using Google and look up Title 24 temperature zones. I think that is a good place to start. What I would basically do is make a box with a ceiling so you have the air space being talked about above. Secondly, I would not even think about air venting just add CO2 in bottle form. You could do a burner but then you have to vent because the burners give off some other gas that I cannot remember the name of but it messes up the plants. In a perfect world, 6" rock wool cubes and drain to waste would be my recommendation. But bear in mind this is no cheap endeavor.@Anthem you've got my attention with the floor drain and slope. A detail I would've regretted breezing right past. Was unsure as to where I should start with waterproof flooring, you're a godsend
Can't even lie, you kind of lost me a little with the metal studs and insulation ratings. I'm sure they will make more sense as I delve into researching my climate zone. Is there a site or two that you would call reputable and up to date?
That sounds like a great plan for venting, up up and away.@Chad.Westport had planned on venting from the rooms to the ceiling space. Then scrub it out a vent from the ceiling. Figured scrubber exits one side, passive intake on the other? I'm definitely a visual learner as well. Words make no sense lol just show me. Youtube and reddit are my best buds. I'll check out Bob, the name sounds familiar.
Co2 is actually really simple. You have the tank and a controller that turns the tank on an off. The controller I use is by trolmaster. It has varies modules you can plug in to manage tasks. The sensor has a light sensor and only turns on when the lights are on. Sealed room, it is not that difficult some peel and stick Weather stripping and a door sweep and the door is sealed. The rest of the room should already be sealed.@Anthem never grown in a sealed room or used CO2. It's really as simple as ensuring it's sealed and releasing the gas on a timer? And is the scrubber still just for smell in this scenario?
