For avid vegetable gardeners, winter lasts too long and fall frosts come too early. These new cold frame components let you stretch your growing season and harvest more healthy, home-grown produce. Designed to fit over our 71-1/2" L x 57-1/4" W Cedar Raised Bed with 27 square feet of growing space, the 3-season covers are supported by a sturdy 36-1/2" high enameled steel frame that fits right into the raised bed corners. In spring and fall, use the frame with the insulating greenhouse cover. Made of woven polyethylene, it has a large access door on each side and two roll-up gable vents, all with 2-way zippers. Insect netting covers the doors and vents, and zips open for accessibility.
During warm weather, replace the greenhouse cover with the optional woven polypropylene Shade Cover, sold separately. It protects plants from the stress of excess sun and heat and attaches securely to the frame with hook and loop tabs. We also offer the Frame and Shade Cover individually for warm climate gardens.

Comments about Cold Frame Covers and Frame:
I have used this "greenhouse" for a number of years and the plastic is now disintegrating. I have just purchased my 2nd one -- at nearly twice the price. The computer-generated directions are hardly readable and the edges of the framing tubes are not well finished and fit poorly. I am disappointed but it is still worth the head start on the season that the greenhouse provides. I wish I could purchase the plastic cover separately.

without instructions in the box, we had to figure frame construction out from the picture on website. Tent is nice.

The 4 vertical supports on each side where big flaps are have plastic ends which break off easily.

Comments about Cold Frame Covers and Frame:
I keep asking. WHY IS IT TINTED GREEN? Didn't these people take biology in high school? You will NEVER get maximum performance if it's absorbing the same color you plants need! NEVER use a cover for plants that is GREEN.
Don't buy this. It needs to be CLEAR Plastic. Not green tinted.

Comments about Cold Frame Covers and Frame:
At the end of the second summer season, the plastic inside the little squares flaked off. I store this unit in my garage at the end of the season. Also the plastic clips broke. [...]This item is worthless.

Comments about Cold Frame Covers and Frame:
The cover fits the frame, but it's almost two inches too narrow when you try to use it with the raised bed.

I have failed at growing peppers in the past because I don't get enough heat...it looks like, with this cold frame and cover, I'll have peppers this year!

Comments about Cold Frame Covers and Frame:
This is perfect for me since we can not count on perfect spring weather in ND. Since this is my first year, I cannot speak to the sturdiness of this but so far it has stood up to the ND winds!

Comments about Cold Frame Covers and Frame:
This is the second one of these we have purchased. We live in a typically windy area and the outside cover does not wear well. Small holes and rips do occur frequently. For the price it's OK, but don't look for more than 2 seasons of longevity.

Comments about Cold Frame Covers and Frame:
This is the first year I've ever been successful at extending the season for lettuce and other cool weather vegetables. It worked fantastic! I use it year round to shade these plants in the summer and to keep deer and bunnies out of the garden. Some of the plastic snaps cracked and broke[...]. Holds up well in the wind. Love this product so much I brought a second one this year.
