Cold frame a mini green house easy to make from recycled materials, Keep plants alive in winter or give a head start in spring, Recycled glass windows preferred
I have been making and using cold frames, mini green houses, for many years.
A few years ago I made the one in the photo for someone.
I used a recycled storm window, my favorite, leftover recycled plywood and 1 x 2s I already had.
It is very easy, and from looking at the photo, self evident how to construct it.
This one can be used for many years.
Another variation involves using PVC plumbing pipe bent into a semi circle with plastic film stretched over it.
Some green houses employ this technique as well.
A thicker mil plastic will last for years and should be recycled after its useful life has ended.
I have also used a cold frame inside a green house for extra protection.
Ultimately, this is a passive solar project as well.

Welcome To Cooperative Community Project Who we are is simple. We are going to build community’s similar to Hutterite or Mennonite community without the religious aspect. We will have no money or currency of any kind going through the community. All positions are voluntary, we will have store houses where all the supplies will go and when you need food, clothing, or more, it’s there for you to have without having to worry about affording it. We plan to build log cabins and a community center and more. The Cooperative Community Project community will also be able help the homeless and the poor with this Project we plan to do that. It’s no lie that we have lots of people living on the streets and in lots of poverty. Cooperative Community Project plans to help change this by offering people a new opportunity to make a better way of life for themselves in northern Saskatchewan with housing, food, clothing and much more. Everyone knows this saying – you give a man a fish, he eats for a day, you teach a man how to fish, he eats for a lifetime.
