No, the gravel is just to level the floor and used for drainage. The size was 14'x18' but one corner was over 10 inches deep while the diagonal corner was maybe 4 to 5 inches deep. The bad thing is we erected the greenhouse first, then wheelbarrowed nearly 7 tons of gravel up a small hill (from the driveway to the greenhouse) and filled it through a single width door. Hindsight being 20/20, we should've had the gravel on hand after we put the foundation in, then erected the greenhouse.

A ton of gravel over an area of 14'x18' would only be about an inch thick.

Here is the front of the greenhouse before the sides went up.
