Large wooden cold frame
Before You Start
Please check that all components are present and read through
these instructions carefully.
Assembly
1. Check all screws are tight in the ready-made frame sections
but avoid over-tightening.
2. Do not yet remove the protective covers on the
polycarbonate glazing: note the cover is on the outside of
the panels.
3. Assemble the frame as shown (See Fig 1) using screws (H)
and the pre-drilled holes.
4. Fix the base plates (G) on the underside of two corners as
required (See Fig 2).
5. Add the lid section and secure to the frame using screws
(H1) and the pre-drilled holes.
6. To assemble the lid support arms:
Insert the bolts (F) from the outside, through the slots
in the support arms and into the pre-drilled holes in the
side panels. Screw in part way to secure. (See Fig 3).
The wing bolt can be tightened when the lid is in the
required position.
7. To complete the assembly, peel off the protective sheet
from the polycarbonate panels and site the cold frame in
good light but out of prolonged fierce sunlight. Use the
corner base plates to peg or bolt down the cold frame if
extra security is required.
Care & maintenance
•
Extra coatings of wood preservative will prolong the life of
the product but be sure to use one that is harmless
to plants.
