What The Experts Say...
If your soil is still wet and cold, start to warm it up with fleece cloches (Longrow Super Cloche, from Harrod Horticultural… ‘Kitchen Garden Tasks’ – Gardeners’ World magazine, April 2009
This old favourite has been with us for years, and for good reason. Robust corrugated PVC is slotted under considerable tension into the rust-proof galvanised metal frame, which makes the cloche very solid. Construction is simple...it is fairly easy to move around...

Notes on assembly • Once the main body of the Coldframe is assembled it is best to anchor it in place so movement of the coldframe is limited making it easier to locate the lids • Locating each lid is best done by holding it vertically & hooking it up & into the rebate on the Ridge section. It will be difficult to locate the lid if it is not presented vertically. • Place one hand underneath & pushing the lid up into the rebate is also helpful. • The lids need to be able to come off easily so that seed trays can be fully open to good weather. • The locking arms will prevent the lids coming off.
What The Experts Say... • "...a clear winner was thrown up in the polycarbonate cold frame from Harrod Horticultural...this model is mainly constructed from tough polypropylene, which is not only virtually unbreakable but also lowers the cost. The lid panels on either side can be secured against strong winds, are easily opened and can be completely removed when necessary.This frame covers a large space but still offers good access to the central area."
