greenhouse newbie needs advice

Hi all,
I am so excited because I will be having a green house for the first time ever.

I am considering Woodpecker for an 8x14 lean to against a 3m high south facing wall. As it will be surrounded by a gravel garden I am having it built on a dwarf wall.

My question is, how high should this wall be? 

My initial idea was 90cm high so I can hide bags of compost pots etc but I'm concerned that I could be losing valuable light and space across the length. So would 30cm or 60cm be a better compromise?

Thanks

I had a wall about 30cm in my last greenhouse and wished it was more. Being tall I appreciated all the head room I could get. Will make the next one a bit higher.

I had to have a wall for my lean-to greenhouse and it is fine for concealing bags of compost and stuff but it does restrict light for low plants so I would aim for as low a wall as possible. Good luck with your greenhouse - they're great!
