Advanced New Setup, questions?

Hello my dear friends at RIU, I have been using this site for quite sometime and my meds have deff started looking better after all the great info from this site. I just purchased a whole new setup which includes but not limited to: 54x54x84 SunHut grow tent, 264 gph submersible pump, 6' inline fan 340cfm, 38 special Canfield-filter 420cfm, yield master 6in light reflector, 600w MH, 600w hps, 2 600w galaxy ballast, Eco plus air stones, ecoplus digital thermometer/hygrometer with remote sensor, Eco air submersible air pump, grow timers, ebb and flow reservoir 25gallons and all connections. Plus a lot more I'm sure.
I have always grown outdoor, and some slight indoor growing using t5 and cfl's, I have always grown in soil and very nervous about hydroponics for the fact how easy it is to screw things up. I have an outdoor shed I will have my grow in. The shed will need some modifications, it's a double door no window typical shed dimensions are 8x8x8, summer temps exceed 90 degrees and I could only imagine the temp in the shed. I was wondering what things I will need to do to the shed to help for my new setup? I imagine having to cut holes in the top for exhaust and also bringing in air as well, but what's the best way? I haven't seen any setups like mine on here and I have a feeling that it's because it's not a very smart idea. I would love to have it in my house but the tent is to large to sit in the corner, I have a rather small house but with a nice yard. :)
 
Yeah typically not a great idea, But i can understand how sometimes you just have to do what you gotta do, Just make sure you have some good security.
Theres no point going to all the effort to make the ultimate grow if some hoodlim is just going to rip it off.
What is the roofing on the shed corrugated iron can heat up alot in the sun painting it white will stop it heating up.
Other than that there is not alot you can do apart from your standard good air circulation and exhaust fans. Goodluck and hope that helps
 
Thanks for the input, I really don't want to do the shed thing but a small house and certain family members/friends/coworkers coming over I'm just trying to keep it out of site and out of mind. The shed is set up for a nice lock and directly behind my house. I don't have any neighbors within eye view. The shed is painted brown right now and silver on the roof.the shed has no windows so I reckon I will be cutting holes in the top with a fan pulling in fresh air. The summer worries medue to the hot temps but when fall/winter comes around I think it will run perfect, if temps are low I will add more lights. I also will be installing a flood light on the shed along with a large lock. I will deff be painting the shed a lighter color and adding insulation to the inside. I also thought about purchasing a small ac unit inside for summers since summers can get very hot. I really not to worried about it, I think it will end up being a great setup once I get temps under control. I will be getting all my equipment in exactly a week so I wanted to start preparing now so the grow can start ASAP. I currently have 2 white Russian clones, 1 about 3 ft and the other prob pushing a foot. Wish me luck guys! And thanks again
