• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

image.jpegIve been busy converting a few bits of left over Iroko into a winter home for my small collection of Triffids. Now we don't have a greenhouse they have been kept in the utility room over the cold season, the warmth in there was giving them ideas of excessive growth and world domination, so I'm hoping this will serve better.
It's only on the garden bench for a day or two before its sited on the south facing patio for the winter
The surplus stainless hinges and gas strut make it look very swish, even the 4mm glass was reclaimed from a blown DG unit.

That's rather posh for a cold frame, Mike! Lovely.
 
Indeed it is.

Do you think some polystyrene insulation on the inside and base might help with the coldest of nights?
 
Thanks for the kind remarks chaps. As suggested the use of insulation might be a good idea. I'm beginning to think that I might keep warm this winter by burning the huge cardboard boxes and masses of packing materials surrounding even very small items sent via carriers. Are they being paid by the cubic metre?
