Don't mean to brag but take a look at mine that DH knocked together in an afternoon. ;D ;DA visit to the tip a £5 door and some spare pallets and voila - one very good looking cold frame. Which I might add it already full to the brim with plants. Mmmh! Wonder if DH will make me another one ??? :-[
PS Don't look at the weeds behind me - that's a work in progress.

Very impressive! My dad's agreed to build us one when we get going but he'll have to go some to beat that beauty! Well done! kitten x
What a winner. Just LOVE the brass handle!!
wow, that's gonna transform your gardening jitterbug :o
beer and chips for DH! ;D
That is one posh coldframe eh!!!
ooooh, its lovely, well done.
WOW I love it and I want one! Don't you just love things made from reclaimed items like that. It looks great and I'm sure will be VERY much loved and used.
posh frame with knobs on ;D A very fine coldframe indeed 8)
Very cool! :)

Just a spoil sport question: will the door survive for long in the weather, or did you specially get a hardwood one? I would love to make something like that.
Thanks so much for all the lovely comments. I will show DH and definitely its double helpings of beer!! ;D I am not sure what wood the door is made out of but it is real HEAVY so I do not think that it is a cheap pine or anything. So I think that I will just varnish it occasionally with clear wood preservative. He also made me some really nice compost bins (never thought that I would be waxing lyrically about compost heaps - but there you are) but I lost all the photos of the before and after pics of my lottie when my computer crashed. :'( But I am aiming to take some more and I will post.
Tim: only the best for my lottie you know. As I could not beat your food picture had to do something to compete!! ;D
