Pallet greenhouse - thoughts?

I am thinking of building a pallet greenhouse... so id build a wall of pallets as the sidewall, then attach pvc to each pallet to form a hoop over top.

My concerns are potentially not enough air flow moving through the pallets and it blocking a small amount of light. Plants are in 300 gallon containers and big plants, so i dont think it would shade them to much.

Originally i was going to build a frame/railing like you'd see on a porch then attach the hoops to that. This would allow more airflow and wouldnt block light as much, but would be wayyy more expensive than pallets.


What do you all think? Pros and cons?

pallets need to be fumigated prior to entering the U.S. from other countries.
I grew in a greenhouse that had 16 foot tall steel walls all the way around
with vents and a clear top with no loss of light issues.

Damn you were ballin! Talk about secure lol. No issues with pm or mold? I grew in a greenhouse last year with only the front and back open and got p.m. due to lack of airflow (i think) so concerned with that. Glad to hear i wont loose anything to lack of light.
Thank you for the helpful response

It was a new pole barn and no issues with mold. I still had controls running in the end room(12x40) with the clear roof, albeit very expensive to do so. heating winter and cooling summers.... both were crazy expensive. re-roofed that section with steel, installed a ceiling at 11 ft, insulated added c02 and sealed the room, never looked back. that move cut my grow bills(separate meter) by 66%
