Breezeway Greenhouse Help? (sh.itjust.works)

I've got an appx 12' x 24' space between my single story house and tall metal barn garage. The roof of the house slopes toward the space.

I want to convert it into a greenhouse so I can grow veggies without having to chase off critters. Ideally I should be able to install gutters that drain to a rain barrel.

I'm hoping some of you fine folks have resources and recommendations for this kind of project.

Should be fairly easy with some transparent corrugated plastic roof sheets. Make sure it is closed all around to prevent high winds from lifting it off, but also have sufficient windows for ventilation in the summer.
