Post by: hoonteo on March 12, 2008, 21:28:13

I know just where I want to put my coldframe. Where can I get the best priced one from? I'd like a glass one

Why not make one. Its only a few boards with an angled top. Use either an old recycled window as a lid or a sheet of rigid plastic. Its good to recycle . Ask on freecycle for an old opening window complete with frame and you have an opening lid :)

I got two glass ones from my local freecyle site, and only had to replace one piece of glass in it

You can get a window frame from any skip and probably the timber too. Only cost will be the glass. Agricultural glass is also quite cheap. I have four frames made this way.
