Our Cold Frame

Most cold frames on the market are made from wood or metal, both of which suffer badly in the UK climate. Many cold frames last only a year or two before being consigned to the scrap pile. Fortunately, that need not happen any more.

We have designed the cold frames with an easy-to-use latch mechanism that allows the lids to be held open almost vertically, so providing ease of access. No more holding the lid open with one hand while holding a heavy pot in the other! The same mechanism allows the lids to be closed, partially or fully. Carry handles are provided at each end, so the frame can be easily moved.

Being plastic, there are few crevices for pests to hide in, and the cold frames are easily cleaned. And of course, if you need to dismantle your cold frame for any reason, perhaps because you are moving house for example, you can easily do so and then rebuild it just as easily – your cold frame will not be damaged by this process.

How your gift is doing good

At the Eden Project we believe plants are important to the future of us and our planet. Through our gardens and Biomes we inspire visitors to reconnect with the natural world around them - and to want to help preserve it. The money you spend in the Eden webshop goes towards our environmental education programmes.

Over 40,000 under-16s from 900 different schools visit our 'living classroom' each year. They get a unique opportunity to delve deep into the rainforest and form the vital connection with their environment that inspires them to want to conserve it.
