Hi! It's not so much a cold frame but a place to put the trees and other outdoor plants--like a small greenhouse. Unsure of the maker. The plastic roof keeps them from getting totally saturated during the summer rains-and we had a ton of rain this year! The front unzips which I keep open most of the time but I've zipped it up a few nights that we have had frost advisories.

Im going to move the trees into our unheated garage around Thanksgiving. They are in mulch buckets right now in preparation for the colder temps. Although this week will be warm, I would imagine the colder temps will return soon.

No, I don't live in a condo or home association community (thank God!) Did the apartment thing once--would only do again unless I really had to. We are on 3 acres--State Forest is back yard so my neighbors are the deer, squirrels etc!

Would love to hear from others regarding the light issue--I've heard the junipers don't need much light during their winter slumber!
