Lighting for my new enclosure

Hey guys, how's it going? =) I am currently building a new indoor enclosure for my sulcata and had a couple of questions. The enclosure is approximately 3X5 feet with drop in trays for grasses/plants and water. No exactly how many UV lights will I need for an enclosure this size? I am being given a fixture that was used on a 55 gallon tank. Is that all right to use? (Once I figure out how to rig it) Also will I need to have substrate throughout the enclosure or could I leave some areas of wood exposed? I was thinking that would be a good way to wear down my lil guys nails, but I could be wrong. =) Any info you guys could share with me would be greatly appreciated. This is my first time having an enclosure this size let alone building. And lets not forget I am not a handy person! LOL (Sorry for the long post)

Thanks again,
Shelly
