Differences Between Cold Frames and Greenhouses

Traditional greenhouses use gas and even electric heat, which can sometimes be harsh on the plants. A cold frame greenhouse relies on the warmth of the sun to protect and create a safe climate for your crops. It even protects your plants from the cold and strong winds, without the risk of damaging or burning them.

Benefits of AHS Cold Frame Greenhouses

1. Affordable – Whether you’re just starting out or upgrading your cold frame greenhouse, we’ve got a design right for you at an affordable price.
2. Customizable – With a wide variety of designs, features, materials, and options, you can customize an AHS cold frame greenhouse specifically for your needs.
3. Productivity Focused Design – Our cold frame greenhouses are designed provide much-needed protection from frost and harsh winter weather while maximizing sunlight exposure.
