ABSTRACT:
A housing, which is particularly suitable as an indoor greenhouse, is provided. The housing comprises a frame which has a base with a lower surface, and a plurality of elongated parallel support members. The support members are connected to the base so as to extend therefrom perpendicular to the lower surface, and perpendicularly through respective alternate apices of a first, substantially regular polygon. The frame also has a top which is connected between a top end of each of the support members. The housing also comprises connecting means attached to the frame for connecting a pair of rectangular doors to it so that each is movable between an open and a closed position. The connecting means also connects the doors to the frame so that the pair extend between the base, the top, and a pair of adjacent support members, and perpendicularly through respective adjacent sides of the first polygon, when both doors are in the closed position. The housing is preferably transversely hexagonal shaped, and has a plurality of socket means connected to the support members for mounting each of a plurality of light tubes along an inner surface of a corresponding support member. A control housing is preferably provided at the top of the housing, which control housing contains ballasts for fluorescent light tubes and a fan arranged to circulate air through the greenhouse.
