The Christow Apex Cold Frame Greenhouse is an ideal solution for home gardeners with limited space who want to extend their growing season by protecting plants from harsh weather. Featuring a space-saving lean-to design, it provides a stable microclimate for seedlings and potted plants, though its compact footprint means it is best suited for small collections rather than large-scale vegetable production.

The unit measures approximately H130cm x W70cm x D40cm.
Yes, all three slatted shelves are removable to accommodate taller plants.
It is weather-resistant and designed to protect plants from rain and wind, though it is not a hermetically sealed unit.
While it is a lean-to design, it is recommended to secure it to a wall or fence if you live in an area prone to high winds.
Yes, the timber is treated with a water-based preservative to help protect against rot and decay.
The front doors include locking mechanisms for security and to keep them closed during windy conditions.
Ensure the base is on completely level ground. If the ground is uneven, the frame can twist, causing the door hinges to misalign.
Utilize the steel sliding lifts to prop the lid open at different intervals to increase airflow and vent heat.
Check that the unit is not leaning backward; ensure it is set against a flat vertical surface and the apex design is correctly oriented.
The unit arrives flat-packed, requiring a basic toolset such as a screwdriver for assembly. Ensure you place the unit on a level surface to prevent door misalignment. For long-term care, although the wood is pre-treated, it is recommended to re-apply a wood preservative or outdoor paint every 1-2 years depending on your local climate to maintain the timber's integrity. Periodically wipe down the polycarbonate windows with a soft, damp cloth to ensure maximum light transmission. Tighten any hardware annually to compensate for natural wood expansion and contraction.
