Rowlinson Timber Coldframe

The Rowlinson Timber Coldframe is the perfect solution for nurturing young plants and seedlings before transferring them to your garden. Designed to extend your growing season, it creates a warm, sheltered microclimate that protects tender plants from harsh weather, while still allowing in light and air. Crafted from a robust 19mm timber frame, this coldframe is built for durability and strength. It features two independently opening lids, allowing you to control ventilation with ease. Each lid includes a stay with two height settings, so you can adjust the airflow and temperature based on the needs of your plants. The glazing is made from clear styrene, which is lightweight, safe, and lets in plenty of light to encourage healthy growth. The wood is pressure-treated to resist rot and insect damage, ensuring the coldframe will remain a valuable part of your gardening toolkit for many seasons to come. Finished in natural timber, this piece blends seamlessly into traditional or modern garden settings—and can be stained or painted to match your outdoor style if desired.
