Wooden Cold Frame with Legs - Garden Gear

This cold frame is ideal for protecting young seedlings, delicate vegetables (like lettuce or spinach), and flowers, especially during colder months or to extend your growing season.

The transparent polycarbonate roof allows sunlight to penetrate, warming the interior. It then traps this heat inside, creating a warmer microclimate that shields plants from frost and cold outdoor temperatures, similar to a mini-greenhouse.

Yes, the Wooden Cold Frame with Legs requires assembly. All necessary instructions and components are included to guide you through the process.

The cold frame measures L90 x W51 x H104cm and weighs 7.3kg.

To maintain optimal light transmission, regularly wipe the polycarbonate panels with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the material.

Weighing 7.3kg, the cold frame is relatively lightweight, making it manageable to reposition within your garden if needed. However, it's designed for stable placement to provide consistent plant protection.

Check for overheating; cold frames can get very hot on sunny days. Partially open the hinged lid for ventilation during warm periods. Also, ensure adequate watering as plants in cold frames can dry out faster.

Verify that the cold frame has been assembled correctly and is placed on a level surface. Inspect hinges for damage or misalignment and adjust if possible. Gaps can lead to heat loss and reduced protection.

Check the polycarbonate panels and frame for any cracks or gaps where water might be entering. Ensure proper drainage for your potted plants to prevent root rot. If direct planting, ensure the soil has good drainage.
