Amazing cold frame

Backyard Discovery really has quality products. We also have the Willow Greenhouse from them.The instructions manuals are well written and easy to follow. This cold frame is amazing.

Solid, high-quality greenhouse

This is an extremely high quality product. The cedar is heavy and thick. This is a solid piece that will stand up to hot summers and freezing winters. I love that I’ll be able to start plants earlier in the spring, and keep them later in the fall because of the greenhouse lid- and be able to protect my plants from hungry deer!

Great product….but

First, I have to say that the materials for this product are high-quality and accurately sized and fitted for assembly. Also, the instructions provided by Backyard for assembling the cold box are very detailed and easy to follow. Overall, an excellent product, BUT the instructions for be for installing the temperature sensing device are awful. Very obviously poorly translated into English from another language, not accurately descriptive in words or diagrams, and virtually impossible to follow. I ended up just giving up on installing that part of the project. Very unfortunate, since the actual cold box was so well made with such clear instructions. To cheep out on the temperature device was very disappointing..

Unique

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that this piece is compact. Perfect for those that want to garden but don’t necessarily have the space. Small and portable!

Gardening at your fingertips

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The heat sensitive lid-raising function and overall practical design of this box makes this a gardening no-brainer!

Great Design

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cold box seems very nice and durable. I like the height and the self-adjusting lid is a great feature! I also really appreciate that it is natural wood and not plastic, for growing edibles.

Opens Automatically

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The lid opens automatically when it gets above 70 degrees which is a great added feature. It has a lot of room to fit plants as well which is another good feature.
