The +: free orientation, further from the house (quiet)

Option B) On the balcony
The -: full orientation "EAST" (if fixed on the length of the balcony) or "SOUTH" (if fixed on the width) .... the SOUTH side is sunny only until 13-14h later in the shade of the house . So less heat input than a 100% SOUTH orientation (but overheating in summer will be avoided). Finally, it's the balcony of my room (I sleep 6 months with the window open and I'm afraid that some people will confuse their shelter and my room ...)
The advantages: much simpler fixation, simple observation, clear vegetation and good height, relatively well protected from precipitation and prevailing winds ...
