Cold Frame lid care

My cold frame lids are in a pretty dire state - the wood is very soggy at this time of year and the glass is loose. Once they've completely dried out I was thinking of filling them and painting them to try and make them last - is this a good idea ?

Other than dismantling, drying out, painting and reassembling, which is a lot of fiddling, I can't see why not.
However, there'll be lots more experienced advice winging it's way to you
Best of luck :)

I overcame that by using a timber frame and aluminium glazing bars ( ex an old greenhouse)
With patent glazing i.e.
'clips'
I can remove the glass in summer and use the frame for other things.

I used an old perspex shower door for the lid on my coldframe - no maintenance, lets in lot of light and only minimal frame area - obviously picked out plain glass one. Got if from the local tip fo £2.
