Built to sit directly on soil or on a wooden raised base, this compact greenhouse-like shelter creates a warm, sheltered microclimate for young plants. In early spring, the soil inside the frame warms faster than the surrounding ground, letting you plant earlier and protect delicate crops from wind, rain and cold snaps.

Why this cold frame stands out

Unlike simple covers or makeshift shelters, the Heritage Garden Cold Frame combines a durable aluminium skeleton with clear, toughened glass, delivering a stable microclimate while maximizing light transmission. The sliding panels give you precise control over temperature and humidity, so you can vent on warmer days and seal up on chilly evenings. The option to pair with a wooden raised base makes it easy to tailor the setup to soil-based crops, beds, or existing plots.
