Are you planning a glass greenhouse? Or polycarbonate (lighter, less likely to shatter, more expensive)? Perhaps you'd want to choose a standard size (window) frame and design from that, using multiple frames. In Europe there are Dutch Lights, see http://www.chelseagreen.com/content/winter-gardening-build-your-own-cold-frame-part-3/

They are heavy to move when used for coldframes, but if you have themas fixed or hinged parts of a greenhouse, it's not a problem.Are you planning a glass greenhouse?
