Cold Frame Assembly Instructions
Thank you for your purchase of Maine Garden Product's Cedar Cold Frame, constructed of Eastern
White Cedar for its natural rot resistance.
For optimum and carefree performance, we recommend using the 9033 Univent Automatic Opener
for Cedar Cold Frame which we have specially designed to automatically open and close the cover
of the Cold Frame to prevent overheating.
Cedar Disclaimer
The Cedar we use grows in swampy areas in northern Maine and New Brunswick, Canada.
Because of this, it is well suited for outdoor use and will not rot or decay for decades. Each board
has its own personality due to the natural crooked grain of each tree. Some boards have a
tendency to "check" (i.e.: form cracks in the grain) while they dry as a result of the crooked grains.
Checking is a natural function of the drying process and it does not affect the structural integrity
of the board or leg.
The "grade" of cedar we use is "Number 1, One Face". This means only one side of each board is
guaranteed to be free of defects like wane (bark) edge or mild decay as shown below.
Maine Garden Product's Cedar Cold Frame is guaranteed to meet or exceed the quality described
above. While it is possible for you to receive a product that has no checking and has #1 grade on all
surfaces, it is not necessarily the norm. Please don't hesitate to call or email us with quality issues,
bearing in mind that all the imperfections shown here are part of the character and charm of Eastern
White Cedar.
