Description
645mm wide, 1348mm long, 479mm tall at the front, 623mm tall at the back.
This Alton Evolution cold frame is made from the same thick and sturdy cedar profiles as the Evolution range of greenhouses with mortice and tennon joints. Complete with sliding and hinged lids you can open these in a variety of ways including two different heights with the inbuilt cedar props or you can keep them in the closed position but slide them across. At the final stage of hardening off, you can remove the lids completely by simply sliding off, then the walls of the cold frame provide that bit of shelter and warmth.
Optional Boarding kit
You can also add the cedar panelling kit for your cold frame, this consists of a full set of boards for all around the cold frame, all made from quality western red cedar. They can give a cosier area for
the plants as the wood insulates, as well as having an attractive appearance. They will, of course, reduce light to your plants. Luckily, when you add a boarding kit, it is fully flexible. You can just put some of the boards in and leave some sections with just glass in (see right) or you can remove the boards and just have all glass. The way that this works in practice is that the capping holds the glass in and also holds the boards in in a similar way (so to change to boards you need to remove the glass and insert the boards) which is done fairly easily by simply unscrewing the capping and swapping over.
