Title: New homebase coldframe
Post by: gp.girl on May 08, 2010, 18:08:15
Just been into Homebase and found a wooden coldframe/mini greenhouse for sale, it's £149.99 but I reckon I can make one instead. I've got some treated timber, ploycarbonate and some old double glazing plus a few batons for the staging....Just got to find the time....Should be good enough for a couple of small tomatoes or some peppers....

Has anyone else seen it? Personally it needed improvement, the 1cm gap between the front doors wasn't a great start.  ;)

Can't find it on the website so you can all have a look :(

Funnily enough I was in homebase newbury the other day, they had a wooden one at around that price just as I went into the garden bit looking for bags of concrete, I nearly had a heart attack at the price and the construction, neither door would close as they were so far out of square it was unreal. and talk about flimsy!.
