- Strong wooden construction and attractive rustic appearance (Wood smoothes out temperature fluctuations compared to light weight alternatives, so is preferred by experienced gardeners)
- The timber is pressure treated for long life no additional treatment needed, although there is no reason an owner could not colour them differently if desired
- Our hinges use removable pins, so the lids easily removed, eg for loading/unloading
- Excellent water run off no trapping in the lid frame. (You see lots of coldframes with a wooden framed lid, but water is easily trapped in this frame, leading to premature rotting.)
- Double walled polycarbonate lids are used for safety (especially important with our large surface areas) and for improved light dispersion (the polycarbonate diffuses the light and can avoid
scorching of plants)
- Props fitted to enable lids to be held open at two different levels
