You'll want to be on the lookout for an old vintage window when you see how charming and
0:04
helpful this garden idea turned out. Heading to my storage shed I'm selecting eight cedar planks
0:10
that measure longer than both the window width and depth. I'm now placing four boards around the
0:16
window to determine the finished box size I'm about to build. I'm measuring the width of the
0:21
window from left to right and the depth from front to back according to the angle chosen
0:26
Since my planks are smaller I'm stacking two for each of the four sides. So I'm cutting four longer
0:32
width planks and four shorter depth planks. To join the planks to the support boards I'm stacking
0:39
two planks then positioning a support board on the left and right side underneath then attaching
0:44
with screws. Now that the box is built I'm positioning it in the desired flower bed location
0:50
reaching for two heavy duty old gate hinges I'm positioning them onto the window frame along the
0:56
top back then pre-drilling holes into each hinge hole before attaching with
1:01
screws. Now I'm positioning the window on top of the box. Using the 2x4 to hold
1:06
the window in place I'm attaching the hinges to the fence with screws and I am
1:11
left with a super cool and useful cold frame that looks as good as it works
1:16
This will be the ultimate spot to protect and help a few tender plants get
1:20
a head start. The window allows the sunshine in while adding protection from
1:25
the elements. And since the sides are not sealed there's also plenty of needed
1:30
airflow. With an added hook and chain I can also position the window at any height
