Cold Frame Small, Half Wall

The value half wall cold frame is the perfect structure for gardeners that have limited space but need to protect their crops from the elements.

The design of the half wall cold frame means that you won't lose accessibility, but obviously you won't be able to walk inside, as you would with a traditional greenhouse.
