ColdframesColdframes are basically very small greenhouses really, but they are made out of highest quality materials more often than not they are made from western red cedar and, as with some other garden buildings, the cold frames are created with high precision mortise and tendon joints.
Coldframes can even come with brass handles and hinges to give a beautiful elegant look. The external wooden supports allow the tops to be held open and easy access into the frame. Most models have opening tops, each one with a single pane of 4mm English toughened safety glass.
Coldframes make great outdoor growing areas which are built without a bottom but with a solid-sided frame of wood, cement or brick, and a removable hinged top, glazed with glass, Fiberglas, or even plastic, they really are invaluable. For instance, they take some of the spring bulge from a greenhouse .By using them for growing greenhouse-started annuals and perennials, you can make under-glass room for a new crop of plants.
