Lidl cold frame - lids do not fit
 

I wonder if anyone has bought and put together
the cold frame that Lidl is currently selling (in Ireland at least)?

The 2 lids on my frame are not large enough, as far as I can see.
The space is 24in deep, while each lid is 23.5in deep;
so the lids fall through the space.

There are some rubber seals provided with the frame,
which do not seem to be mentioned in the installation instructions,
but I do not see how these could cure the problem.

Well I guess you must have bought the Irish version.

Obviously using some of those Cheap chinese tape measures in the factory
for the lids then.

Seriously it is more likely that peeps in UK.rec. gardening may have
experience of them, perhaps a post there might elicit a helpful response.

Got I! You thread black seal through the windows. We cut ours in two after
threaded to make it easier. Then making sure one corner piece is not screwed
in and thread the windows with seals through the back groove of the frame.
Then screw back your corner piece. Hey presto!
