Mop sink ok in greenhouse?
 
Someone gave me a stainless steel sink with faucet (used to be in a
doctor's office) to use in my greenhouse. A friend said that rather
than have the cabinet built which this sink would require, I should get
a mop sink on legs. It would be cheaper and would work well enough for
GH purposes.
This is my first GH, and I know nothing.
Any reason not to use a mop sink? Thx.

They're very square, which could clash with the plants, which are mostly
roundish / curvish.

Why a sink? Go for a pond. Ponds are fun, can contain fish AND water the
plants in a pinch. Plus they add that needed humidity and help to provide
heat in the winter.

I suspect the OP was thinking about rinsing pots and filling watering cans.

It's your Green house, use which one you prefer.

I personally like the idea of building an attractive cabinet for the
stainless steel sink.

On the other hand, the humidity in the greenhouse might turn the attractive
cabinet into pudding over the years.

The nature of the question leads me to believe that this person would never
have discovered marine plywood. I can't explain why. It's just my
impression.
