Popular (STD) Cold Frame 3' Long x 2' Deep Polypropylene | Two Wests

Our Popular Cold Frames have been designed & manufactured at Two Wests to create an efficient suntrap, with the sloping top enabling the back of the cold frame to be used for subjects that need height & the front for seed trays, bedding plants, lettuce etc.

Frame - strong, rust-proof, maintenance-free aluminium. Lightweight it can be comfortably moved from one site to another. Extended legs dig down into the ground to give firm anchorage.

Height - sloping from back (18"/46cm high for the 4'/122cm long frames, 16" (41cm) high for the 3'/91cm frames) to front (15"/38cm high for the 4'/122cm long frames, 14" (35.5cm) high for the 3'/91cm frames).

Glazing - select either double-skinned polypropylene or polycarbonate. Glazed on all sides & the roof allows the passage of light from all sides to prevent young plants becoming drawn & leggy.

Access & Ventilation - a removable support bar & wind straps are provided to protect the three sliding top panels in extreme weather conditions. The panels slide freely in two channels giving easy ventilation adjustment & control & can be completely removed for good access.

4mm double-skinned plastics are safe, shatterproof, virtually unbreakable & UV light stabilised for a long life. The air gap between sheets of plastic provides effective insulation, helping to keep things warm in winter & cool in summer. These plastics allow good light transmission, giving a soft diffused light which reduces the chance of scorching & helps to encourage healthy plant growth.
