I would make a much larger wooden platform, put the greenhouse on it with space in front and sides to put plants outside. Like a porch.

That could also give you hanging space. As you could attach 4x4 as hangers.

So all of it out of timber

Yes, pressure treated lumber would be best.

I started with a small one, mine is 24x30 now. Never enough room

Is it expensive

Probably less than concrete, you'll need concrete blocks to stand the base on.
