The only caveat I would add is that old windows can have lead in not only the paint/varnish, but also the glazing. Make sure those are either safely removed or properly sealed so they can't leech out.
Build a #DIY #ColdFrame using an old window
Written by Tara Nolan • Updated on October 28, 2024
Excerpt: "One of the projects that I knew I wanted to include in my book, #RaisedBedRevolution, was a cold frame. I had seen some neat DIY cold frame examples through garden visits over the years, great cold frame kits through various retailers and innovative cold frames that used old windows as the lid. I was also inspired by Niki, who gardens 365 days a year (you can find some of her cold frame tips here).
"When the photographer for my book, Donna Griffith, grabbed an old window a mutual friend was giving away, I enlisted my brother-in-law, Deon, to help me figure out how to build a cold frame to fit."
