    Hi All,

    Finally made a start on my first of 2 coldframes. I have made the lid this afternoon measuring 1m x 0.75m. Need to put a handle on but the ones i have in the garage are no good for the job. Also need to put a couple of bars down the middle when i picked it up there was a little twisting.

      First coldframe half done. I was going to leave it as it is,but have decided to put another layer in to add another 5 inches to it. And its cost me about £12. Checked it when I came home from work and it is leaking aroud the window so I need to run some silicon round when its dry.

        Looks very sturdy Rusty. Will give much protection to plants that need shelter but not heat. :dbgrtmb:
