How to make a cheap lean-to "greenhouse"?

How to make a cheap attached lean-to "greenhouse" underneath the overhang on a south-facing wood deck (rental house) without a lot of carpentry skills or power tools? I do have some strips of closed cell "skim" foam and vinyl flooring to roll out over the spaced wood decking boards. Probably approx. 20 ft. long, under 2 ft. overhang, and angling out somehow enough to put an old screen door or secured flap entry on one end.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions on construction or materials!

I saw a handful of ideas on Youtube. Check there using the Search engine. Some had hydroponic addons too.
I saw one that was made of repurposed pallet slats. They’re free in back of the stores and the wood is already cut. Measure your pallet lengths, determine the size you want your project to be, you will need support wood for the frame. Check out the other greenhouse projects listed on this web site. You will need to cover it in plastic. Start little. If you like it, go big! You want this to be facing the sun.
