    I picked this up today



    Plan is to remove the glass and replace with perspex or similar and turn it into a cold frame.
    Wont be doing much wit it for a while as getting ready for the move leaves me little workshop time!

    So, This afternoon I got a little sidetracked and ended up sticking a few bits of wood together to see what it'd look like
    The wood are slats from our old bed that I knew would come in handy !



    Starting to take shape



    All wood cut



    all done (well bar the glass/perspex)



    Great time in the shed
    Next project will be a small fence and gate into the compost area made from old pallets

      Nice job
      What do you get if you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by its diameter?

          Start to finish about 4 hours
          I lost nearly an hour getting the glass out of the frame
          Need to get some decent paint to protect it

                  Nice Build - You will need a galvanised steel primer otherwise the paint will just peel off when the metal takes in heat from the sun. The other thing you could add is a sliding vent each end like I did with mine that I made out of 3 plastic framed windows I picked up where someone who was having their windows replaced.

                  Are you going to hinge the lid?

                  I wished that I had made mine with a steeper slope like your now, but I was being greedy and wanted 3 trays inside under each window.

                    Thanks for the tips
                    Regarding the angle, that was by accident. I planned to have 3 strips high at the front but I miscounted the planks
