Christow Raised Bed Cold Frame Greenhouse

The Christow Raised Bed Cold Frame is a practical solution for UK gardeners looking to grow vegetables and plants beyond the warmer months. Measuring 70cm x 46.2cm x 39.5cm, it sits neatly over raised beds and veggie patches, trapping warmth and protecting crops from frost, wind, and cold snaps. The FSC-certified timber frame is treated with an ACQ water-based preservative to guard against rot, decay, and insects, so it holds up well through wet British winters without the need for harsh chemicals.

All four sides, along with the roof, are fitted with UV-stabilised polycarbonate panels that allow natural light in from every angle. Unlike glass, polycarbonate diffuses light more evenly, which encourages stronger, more consistent plant growth. The sloped roof channels rain and snow away cleanly, and the powder-coated steel sliding lifts make it easy to prop the lid open at different heights for ventilation or to tend to your plants without the lid getting in the way.

Assembly is straightforward thanks to a flat-pack design with clear instructions and all fixings included. Galvanised fittings resist rust over time, and steel base plates with ground holes allow you to peg the frame down on exposed or windy sites for added stability. Its compact, lightweight build also means you can move it around the garden as needed, whether you're protecting seedlings in spring or ripening crops in autumn.
