| To be able to grow and receive light from three sides rather than one. Think this is a good idea? Not sure whether I'm even allowed to do this but I might do it anyway until they nag me to take it down |

| I know where I live they would stop you from building it immediately, your neighbors will be complaining as soon as you raise your hammer.. |

| How high up are you? I doubt it would be allowed, and if you're very high anything that falls can be deadly. So it's best avoided. I know for myself, I needed to hang my boxes outside my railing for them to get more sun. I called and asked, and they said it was fine. We have no walkways under our balconies though and the highest floor is 3. |

| I'm on the 7th floor, but on the six floor there's a platform Where you can go to from the 6th floor, so if anything were to fall, it would hit the 6th floor platform, which isn't that far below |

| I would still avoid it. Wind gusts and all, not to mention the extension itself. That will also add more weight to your balcony. |

| Gotta go along with Christine. Neighbors can be a real "testa di cazzo." Mine is LOVELY. : ( Why not install fluorescent grow lights? |

| Aptbalc, I'm currently growing basil and cilantro under a cfl and hood, but using the sun from my terrace seems tempting |
