  • A recycled cold frame

    Upon taking on our first plot 3 years ago, pretty much the only item that we inherited that we kept was a hardwood window frame.

    Now that the plot is about where we want it, it was a case of either use it or skip it and as the greenhouse at home plus the tandem one on the plot are full with stuff I had a bit of an epiphany and realised it would make a rather cool cold frame. Using off cuts of scaffold planks left over from making raised beds, two reclaimed hinges and left over polytunnel plastic I knocked up a rather pukka (even if I do say so myself) coldframe that will hold about a dozen standard seed trays this morning.

    Total cost, nothing other than two hours of my time. Old pallets can be used just as easily to make something similar, but like greenhouses, make it twice as big as you think you need and then add abit.

      Very nice indeed. We had one made from an old bathroom cabinet and a window frame, but it rotted eventually.....need to make another.
