Cloche... or cold frames...

Rancid · 2005-02-11 22:52:12

Any suggestions as to where I can get glass cloches or cold frames in Dublin? Ideal size would be about 4' x 4' and min 2' high. I've asked in a couple Garden Centres and have drawn a blank. :(

Hi,

If Your looking for what I call mini glass houses, you could ask some of the double glazing installers for the old sash windows they take out and make the frame yourself.

i think Lenehans do them.

it's very easy to build a coldframe. all you need is a small bit of timber for the frame, and some clear corrugated plastic roofing.

nice and light to move, and child friendly.

i used this design, and added a hinged roof using the roofing sheets.
