This mini aluminium cold frame is designed for home gardeners looking to protect their plants from harsh weather and extend the growing season. Its key benefit is providing a controlled environment for seedlings and tender plants using durable materials and intelligent ventilation. A potential caveat is that its compact size may limit the quantity of plants it can house. Key features include toughened safety glass, a robust aluminium frame, and an automatically adjusting louvre vent for optimal temperature control. The optional mist watering kit offers automated hydration.

The cold frame protects plants from harsh weather, pests, and frost, allowing you to extend your growing season by starting plants earlier in spring and keeping them later in autumn.
The louvre vent contains a mechanism that expands or contracts with temperature changes. As the temperature inside rises, it automatically opens the vent to allow for ventilation, and closes as the temperature falls.
Yes, this cold frame is designed to be placed directly on raised beds or soil.
This is a 4ft cold frame, but specific dimensions should be checked with the retailer or manufacturer's detailed specifications.
No, the mist watering kit is an optional accessory and needs to be purchased separately.
The cold frame comes with a 25-year manufacturer's guarantee.
Clean the glass panels using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
Check that the vent mechanism is not obstructed by debris. Ensure the temperature differential is sufficient for the mechanism to activate. Refer to the specific instructions for the louvre vent mechanism if issues persist.
Slight condensation is normal. If excessive, open the sliding panels or louvre vent fully to increase air circulation.
Carefully inspect the fitting of the glass panel. Ensure it is seated correctly within the frame channels. Do not overtighten any securing elements if present.
Setup: Place the cold frame on a level surface directly onto soil or a raised bed. Ensure all panels are securely fitted. If using the optional mist watering kit, follow the specific instructions provided with that accessory for connecting it to a water source and the cold frame.
Compatibility: This cold frame is designed to be a standalone unit or placed on existing garden beds. It is compatible with the Access Garden Products mist watering kit designed for 4ft cold frames.
Care: Clean the glass panels periodically with a soft, damp cloth to ensure maximum light transmission. Check the aluminium frame for any debris and wipe clean. Ensure the louvre vent operates smoothly; clear any obstructions if necessary. Inspect the structure annually for any signs of wear.
