Made a cold frame.

I think this is the right place to put it,

so about last week or some time I made a coldframe,
I dont have any questions I just wanted to show you, :D


Cold frame by Robert wright., on Flickr

 

Well done Rob - looks really good.

I find that cold frames made from bricks and sheets of glass, like yours, can be very versatile. If you need more height you just add another layer of bricks. Also you can have one part of a different height from the other. I have overwintered plants which were at least 18 inches high that way.

 

Looks good Rob; I made a one from reclaimed pallet wood and used the large cell bubble wrap to insulate it, the hinged roof has laminate floor underlay on it; it lets light through but does filter out strong sunlight. It's been in use for 2 years now and has been brilliant, no leggy plants at all; I also have some old carpet in the bottom and it is on concrete, the carpet seems to hold a little warmth and also moisture which helps as it's not directly in contact with the plants. I must admit I made it up as I went along with the materials I had to hand, but it has been a 100% success and didn't cost a single penny :thumb:
