I live in a state where it has to be locked in too. My idea for spring is a wood frame with the soft plastic sheeting outside and wire fencing inside. The kind of fencing you get pretty cheap in 100' rolls at Home Depot secured to the inside frame should pass as locked and secured I'm thinking.

I put security hog fencing around my greenhouse under the roll up sides. Worked out perfectly cause my sides roll up to 5 feet and I didn’t need to do any cutting until the last piece!
Then I have a 6 foot barrier and then a 6’ horse fencing all the way around

My 30x60 all in cost me less than 10K That includes the poly carb endwalls, doors all supported by 4x4 and 2x6 posts. The front of the greenhouse faces my house and is the security fencing attached to 4x4 posts and an 8’ wide cattle gate with a 10x10 soil mixing and storage area, all the exaust and circulation fans etc.
it might not pass a state rec licensing.. but no one is getting into my greenhouse! My 130lb Great Pyrenees sleeps out there the month of harvest time!

DIY recycled cobble job for mine!
Recycled solar water heater panel covers, old skylight, and most windows found on the curb.
A water drip wall would be nice, you can also do shade cloth up to 30% without losing too much bud density. My whole front opens up and I just go with massive air exchange and large pots. I put field wire or rebar wire over the windows so it can still be locked up tight while all windows are open.Tried a mist system but plants get so big and grow into it, so not a good solution for me. I run off rain water so just learned how to set it up for dry cooling as I only have 500 gallons of storage and during dry spells need it all for watering.
You’ll love gh growing!

Splurge on horticultural grade UV protected covering. The Home Depot stuff will be destroyed by th sun and splinter into a zillion pieces just when you need it most in the fall.
