8' x 4' Cold Frame

Designed to stand directly on the soil or on a raised base, this Cold Frame is built for durability and functionality.

• Long-lasting Build: Aluminium structure with a 25-year framework guarantee and stainless steel fixings - built to last a lifetime.
• Safety Glass: 3mm toughened safety glass traps early spring warmth and adds weight to prevent the frame from blowing away.
• Weather-Resistant: Rigid glass panels resist flexing under heavy snow or strong wind loads.
• Sliding Doors: Easy access and infinitely variable ventilation - from a small opening in early spring to fully open in summer.
• Sliding Roof Panels: Provide both superb ventilation and easy access.
• Removable Roof Panels: In summer, panels can be removed to reduce internal temperature while still protecting plants from wind.

Large Cold Frames are ideal for producing early soil-grown crops such as vegetables. They complement a greenhouse by allowing tender plants to be placed outdoors in a well-ventilated space before transplanting.

• Optional shelves can be fitted
• Supports up to 8 shelves

Dimensions:

• Inspect the structure for any signs of wear or damage, especially after strong winds or storms.
• Water plants consistently and avoid overwatering to prevent mould or rot.
