Setting up the foundation is crucial to maximizing
the stability of your cold frame. Be sure to clear out
the portion of land you intend to cover and flatten
the ground to ensure continuity throughout the
heights of all platform posts.

Instructions
1. Measure the height (x) of the cold frame and add two feet
to that distance (x+2').
2. Using the remainder of the 29 film, cut two sheets to be 32' wide
(assuming your roll of film is 32' wide) by x'+2' long (i.e. if the
cold frame height is 13', your sheet should be 32'x15').
3. Center the sheet and lock film into 28 aluminum channels with
12" of film going upwards past the top and 12" downwards past
bottom of 28 aluminum channel.
