My neighbor was getting rid of some 4x4x8 post which I gladly accepted. I drilled 5/8" holes every 2 feet along the length of both post. Next, I inserted 1/2"x4 feet rebar into the drilled holes. Using a sledge hammer, I pounded the rebar into the ground for several inches. I then took 5/8" pvc piping and inserted the ends over the rebar. Using 4 mi plastic, cut it to fit over the frame. To hold the plastic to the frame, I used large binder clips. Once the cold frame was completed, I planted Peppers and Eggplant that I had started weeks early in the house.
