Everyone has a general idea of a greenhouse on a garden or homestead plot. Building one usually takes a lot of expensive, hard-to-get material: load-bearing metal or wooden posts, film covering or a framed structure with glass — plus heating.

On a sunny loggia in a city apartment or on a green lawn of a country plot, it is pleasant to sit in a comfortable deck chair.
