Any structure would do as long as it keeps the tortoise safe and warm. And, yes, you'd still need a UVB light and heat source in the green house.

I agree with Yvonne. The panels which make up greenhouses whether it be a plastic or glass does block UVB. So you'll need to either rig up a doggy door for them to get unobstructed UVB or add UVB lighting. I don't know if I'd use that particular greenhouse. It doesn't look like it'd be able to contain a tortoise unless you put some type of solid barrier along the bottom perimeter.
