Coldframes have a protective use in all seasons. In SPRING they are excellent for hardening off plants and seedlings and in SUMMER for protecting tender plants such as salad leaves from weather and pets. They also provide protection for new cuttings. In AUTUMN and WINTER they provide protection for semi-hardy perennials as well as allowing some crop seasons to be extended right into winter. Hawthorns coldframes can be used as a large cloche for winter protection.
Our Verdict
Hawthorns’ range of cold frames offers a truly functional and great looking addition to your garden. Their solid construction from pressure treated timber makes them long lasting without the need to constantly reapply preservatives. Like all cold frames with solid wooden panels, the wooden frame acts like a radiator, storing heat from the daytime sun and releasing it slowly at night, keeping the cold frame warm.
With two tough polycarbonate, fully adjustable "lights" and ample growing space within it makes the perfect compliment to any garden.
But don’t just believe us, this is by far our most popular product. Its combination of good looks, keen price and functional design make it a real winner.
