Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Garden Gear Wooden Cold Frame requires self-assembly. All necessary components and instructions are included. We recommend having basic hand tools (e.g., screwdriver) available for the assembly process. Choose a level, sunny location in your garden for placement, ensuring good drainage.
Compatibility
This cold frame is compatible with various garden layouts and is ideal for protecting a range of plants including young seedlings, small vegetables (e.g., lettuce, spinach, radishes), herbs, and bedding plants. Its dimensions are H 49.5 x W 48 x L 90cm, so ensure your plants and desired location fit these specifications. It is designed for outdoor use.
Care
To ensure the longevity of your cold frame, regularly wipe down the polycarbonate panels with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, and algae, allowing maximum light penetration. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the panels. The fir wood frame is durable but can benefit from occasional inspection and, if desired, treatment with a wood preservative suitable for outdoor use to protect against weathering and prolong its life. Ensure the hinged lid mechanism is kept clean and free of debris for smooth operation.
