The easiest way would be to get an old wardrobe or some such, put it in its back with a bit of plastic on the top.
Or look at this: http://www.allotment-garden.org/greenhouse-growing/build-coldframe.php

I've made two from scrap wood and old windows. It's not hard.

No plot is complete without a homemade cold frame.

If you can't source any old windows, an old shower screen might be easier to find in a skip or somewhere. OH just built a coldframe using a found bi-fold shower screen as the top.

Hi sorry to sound thick but what sort of things do you grow in a cold frame, and can I use double glazed windows?

[noshed]

They're very good for hardening things off before planting out and for bringing on seeds like leeks that don't need any warmth.
Double glazing would be OK although maybe a bit heavy.

[poppies]

ok thanks they're not double gazed so oh can get building

Cold frames are also good for plants that do not like wind.
