Building a greenhouse on a lot with fundation

I know it's a tad early, but because we got the glass roof, I wanted to add a greenhouse.

But, the main house has a foundation, so when I build anything on this lot, it will have a foundation, too.

Is there a way to avoid the foundation on certain builds? Main house needs to stay as is.

Must a green house be technically enclosed with walls and roof, or can I say build just a roof on columns, and still grow plants during winter?

  • I have a slightly different problem. In the past I always attached my greenhouse to the main house with a half staircase connected to which ever wall the door was on with no problem. For the first time when I tried to make the greenhouse as a separate building while the main one still had a foundation, the outer staircase works perfectly okay, but the inner one doesn't want to shrink down when placed parallel from it...
    I wonder if this has always been a problem, though.
    If that is the case, I hope it can somehow get fixed in the future... Would really help with smaller lots.

  • I have a greenhouse, and a lot with a foundation. Since you can't only have foundation on specific buildings, I made my foundation kind of short compared to usual, but I just placed the pasture grass floor tiles in the room to make it grassy and green. It still looks like a greenhouse to me, and the plants don't have to be in the planter box.

  • I figured out a solution that leaves me enough room in the small, square greenhouse I had to build in the corner of the small lot I used (20X20).
    By keeping only one square of the floor intact right in the corner next to the fence, I can remove the rest of the floor and attach both sets of stairs to that in a 90 degree angle (or have both sets in a straight line).
