My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Cold Frame vs Greenhouse

16 years ago

O.K. This is probably going to be considered a dumb question but..............

What is the difference between a cold frame and a greenhouse?

As far as I can tell, the only difference would be the height and ease of use. A greenhouse you could walk into, a cold frame, not.
