Cloches and Cold Frames

Our Cloches and cold frames collection is for giving plants an extra layer of protection when the weather is not quite on their side. These simple covers help you warm the soil, shield young plants from cold winds and keep rain from battering tender leaves. They are perfect if you want some of the benefits of a greenhouse in beds, raised beds or large containers.

Use this collection if you are asking things like
What do I need to protect seedlings in spring
How can I keep salads going for longer
What can I use instead of a full greenhouse in a small garden

In this collection you can find

• Tunnel cloches for protecting rows of vegetables and salads
• Rigid grow cloches for small beds, borders and raised beds
• Bell cloches that sit neatly over individual plants in pots and containers
• Cold frames for hardening off seedlings and looking after young plants
• Low cold frames that help extend the season for salads, herbs and low crops

Cloches and cold frames work well in gardens, courtyards, balconies and allotments. Use them to warm soil before sowing, protect early plantings, and keep late crops going for a few extra weeks.

At Allotmate Essentials we choose cloches and cold frames that are easy to move, simple to vent and strong enough for real British weather. Add a couple of pieces from this collection to your set up and it becomes much easier to start seeds earlier, protect tender plants and keep your growing space productive for more of the year.
